"They're wonderful," he says in all earnesty, before sticking his fork in one of the slices and holding it out towards Norman. "Here, try some."

Nor for the flavor, but because he wants Norman to eat something. If Otto has something to say about it, then by the time they're done, a good one third of those pancakes will have been diverted Norman's way.
