Have you ever had Douhua? It's basically soft tofu with a sweet syrup made from ginger. The syrup is sweet and light, and has the spicy aroma of ginger in it, while the tofu is very soft and custard-like. That's what I'd imagine would be the closest real-world equivalent to that Bird-egg drink!

So what the hell does rapid hair growth have to do with good food? Is this a Japan thing?

I thought the panel of the President being appreciative to the Billion bird on the second page and then holding a glass on the last page was a very nice touch.

I think the Rainbow Fruit is comparatively more boring, but it also looks more delicious. It also made me check the Toriko wiki, where I found out that it "ranked 28th in the first Popularity Poll with 23 votes, tieing with the Grinpatch." And that's hilarious.

My problem with Toriko's full course is that it has no synergy or encompassing theme. It is just whatever ingredients they come up with at a given point in the manga, but the style and scope of the setting has developed over time.

KittenofDoom posted:Eh it's probably an attack and not a recipe. It's hard to imagine anyone not being grossed out by it, even in a universe where people fart on apples to make them delicious. This is the world where a hairy sweaty man will literally wrestle with a roll of makizushi for many minutes and then dump it on the ground and it's delicious.

Yes but this is also out of a country where 2/3rds of the television at any time takes place in a restaurant and shows people eating and shouting about how good the food is.

Fabricated posted:Toriko is basically a pure Epicurean, so this is it. Yeah, I think that's his theme. The most rare and unique flavors in the gourmet world. Not just ingredients that are hard to get/capture level impossible, mind you. Just the most eccentric things you can find out there that Toriko personally invested time and emotion into getting. But BB corn is the perfect Hors d'Oeuvre : It makes people hungrier and the subsequent food tastier. Real life chefs would kill for something like that.

Again, sorry to be back to the anime, but (and I guess I'm going to spoiler this) Minority World - Potentially Cut Joa v. Heavenly Kings/Star Coco still has black hair after getting out of the crater Setsu and Jirou vs. Teppei (like that's nescessary) Midoras back story butchered I mean, they are going through such a wild turn I can't imagine how they would get back to the original ending to this part of the story.

I can't say I'll miss Minority World. Jeez was that a bad idea. Though I just hope this affects the manga none since I enjoy it so much more. It's pace is amazing. (well except for minority world (goddamn that was groanworthy)) Also I've been rereading Toriko now and I am getting hungry.

The show doesn't have the greatest pacing within episodes and with animations during fights, so I don't imagine those two things helping the series' popularity.
