Yes, Carl was raised better than that. Except his parents couldn't have exactly prepared him what to do with strangers in space, let alone in an apocalypse. That is to say, he's still working out this whole situation to the best of his abilities.

So when the man in front of him actually takes a plate to stake the pancakes and shove in a mouthful, as promised, he is a little taken aback. Of course, it's an unexpected (if not a little unsightly of a) scene, but it certainly proves to him that they are safe to eat.

Maybe. He still has to decide if he wants to take any anyhow. The comment about how they taste certainly earns points in favor of taking some. Not to think ill of the dead, but his mother was never good at making them. They remind him of her in a good light, though.

So after watching everything, "Okay. Maybe they are safe... but what kinds are they?" Because it's important to know with making his decision, and he's not sure what else to ask in this case either.
