The problem of having taste:
Frederick:
Hello, Avatar. I've thought about your previous offer.
Avatar:
The favor? Oh, good! What'll it be? Just say the word.
Frederick:
I recall seeing you eat bear with great relish shortly after we first met. I should like you to teach me this skill. ...Eating bear, that is.
Avatar:
I remember that night! Lissa was in a froth. Said it smelled like...old boots, was it? Wait, so you didn't eat any, either?
Frederick:
I fear I've rarely been able to choke down wild game, and bear least of all. But as the war grows harsher, I can no longer afford to be picky. There may come a day when bear is the only food available to us. Best I train to overcome my aversion now, when our situation is not so dire.

True, and even the finest knight isn't much use on an empty stomach... All right then, you're on. Let's get you eating some bear!
Frederick:
Yes, I will train till I can consume anything, without concern for taste or decorum. Like an animal, or a savage... Or like you, Avatar.

......
Frederick:
Er, Avatar? ...Did I say something wrong?
Avatar:
Um, no, nothing. Don't worry about it.So Frederick. You don't have a problem with more common meats, do you?
Frederick:
Beef and pork are fine. I also enjoy a good chicken on occasion.
Avatar:
Then let's start simple. Take a bite of this jerky.
Frederick:
I shall tear into it with gusto! *munch, munch* BLEAGH! G-gamey! S-so gamey! What... *cough* What IS this?!
Avatar:
It's bear. Leftovers from the same bear we ate that night, in fact! I saved some.
Frederick:
Eeeaaaaagh! Healer! I need a healer!
Avatar:
Animal or savage, indeed. How rude of him... Guess he wasn't joking about his aversion to bear, though...

Hey there, Fredericson! I've got some new cured meat for you to try...
Frederick:
I'll thank you not to refer to me by that ridiculous name. ...And I'm not so gullible as to fall for your bear-jerky trick twice.
Avatar:
Oh? I thought you were serious about getting over this, Frederick. Look, I'm not a monster. I prepared a whole series of meats in order of gaminess. We can take it slow.
Frederick:
...Well, I suppose I did ask for this.
Avatar:
All right then. We'll start with chicken, then pork, then beef.
Frederick:
*Munch, munch* ...Hmm, excellent so far.
Avatar:
Next is mutton, It starts to get a little tricky here.
Frederick:
*Munch, munch* ...This is...manageable.
Avatar:
You're doing great! Okay, this one's venison.
Frederick:
Munch, munch*
Avatar:
...By which I mean bear.
Frederick:
PFFFFFFF! Augh! By the gods! I'm d-dying! Dying! Ah... It's s-so dark... T-tell Chrom that...
Avatar:
Oh, stop exaggerating! Otherwise you might as well die here-- you won't last long on the battle...field? Whoa. I just had intense déjà vu.
Frederick:
I said the same to you, once upon a training session. And I was right. If I succumb to this, I can't well protect everyone on the front lines... My body is ready, Avatar! The next sample, if you please!
Avatar:
You talked yourself back into it? Impressive. And perhaps a little disturbing... Ah, well. Whatever works. Let's finish this Frederick! Open wide!
