My guess is Central dude hosed up by using olive oil. Generally confit dishes are cooked in their own fat. By using olive oil he's potentially diluting out the fats of the salmon and impregnating it with olive oil instead.

My guess is central dude didn't gently caress up anything at all but Kurokiba was just that much better than his anyway because Kurokiba freaking owns and has been tirelessly training since his defeat in the Autumn finals in order to get revenge.

Anyway Kurokiba's the best and just as I predicted there was no way he wasn't going to crush this goddamn loser. :black101:

My guess is the green layer is a nori or maybe some molecular gastronomy creation from the waters where the salmon was fished out using some other portion of the salmon

Might be. Souma noted that "Rentaro got one thing wrong in his little speech" so it might be referring to Rentaro's own dish or how he's underestimated Kurokiba.

I'm pretty sure what Ren got wrong was assuming Kurokiba was the same as he was during the Autumn finals, and "the difference" between their meals was all the effort Kurokiba has put in since his defeat in order to improve himself. And also that secret ingredient he used that is yet to be explained. But as far as the themes go the difference is probably Kurokiba's desire to get better after his loss.

There was a panel with the curry dude, it's a curry leaf no?

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
The fodder guy said that Kurokiba's dishes let all the flavors blend together willy nilly. The green layer exists to separate the rice from the whatever so the flavors don't all blend together. They're gonna tie this back thematically to his loss somehow, but I'm pretty sure that's the culinary intent here.

Well, we've got our answer. No one predicted right. It's a spinach crepe with roughly mixed spices including dehydrated bacon. Also, Kurokiba worked at a curry place for his Stagiare.

It's a matter of mixing things in such a way that provides a variety in flavor. Yeah, it's sorta dumb.

Way back when they first introduced Akira, he was talking about how toasting spices and using water instead of stock would dramatically make curry better, even though that's Indian Cooking 101.

I'm getting the feeling that the student's food isn't as good as it looks, and the problem is with all these "we're serious food critics with seriously high-standards" judges.

Yeah yeah, I know shonen manga, but still. :v:

I'm hoping that every time we get something new from the first years now we get a flashback to their Stagiare week. Cause it's a good way to show they've been through a training arc without actually having to waste a lot of time showing these kids getting better. Also, that was a good end to the Shokugeki and Spinach is delicious so I am happy it was the secret ingredient that granted Kurokiba victory.

I'm a bit disappointed though that it looks like we'll be sticking with Block D for a bit. I was thinking that we'd switch to another of the blocks to see a match featuring Ikumi, Hayama, or Kuga, since at the beginning of this battle it was mentioned those 3 might have had matches scheduled for today. On the other hand Naked Apron Senpai is on his way and Alice looks pretty intense in that last panel, so this could be cool.

The great thing of knowing jack about cooking and not really caring is that I can read this manga and just treat each new way of cooking as a shounen power up and not get all hung up on stuff like this.

^^Same. On both accounts

Like, even with my little knowledge of cooking I know Ren freaking out about a spice mix is pretty silly. But I really like the idea that last week Ren was going on about how Kurokiba is unrefined and unelegant but through adding Bacon to his spices Kurokiba was able to use it more subtly and elegantly than him, who ended up making the same mistake he was accusing Kurokiba of. Like, shonen-logic wise that seems like an appropriate end to this smug elitist jerk.

Not like the "you would have beaten the old me but the current me has evolved" is particularly new, either. Souma himself used that phrase against Mimisaka or whatever his name was.

As did Kiriko from Iron Wok Jan, the best cooking manga ever.

There really must be a better way to phrase that than seasoning spice. Even if you said seasoned salt, that conversation is ever-so-slightly less absurd sounding.

I hope that everyone was sent to restaurants outside their comfort areas. Akira could've gone to a fish place or just anything that used like 0 spices, but best of all I want Alice going to a super low-rent old-school restaurant where their most modern piece of equipment is an over from the 1980s. Now there's a stagiare flashback I can get behind.

the special part wasn't that he used spices it was the way he mixed it into the dough he did it uneavenly to produce a wider veriety of flavors in his dish. adding a greater depth of flavor

that was more that cooking the same spices different ways would have subtle effects on the blend and you need to do the right things to the right spice to create the right blend for the individual dish


it's not super groundbreaking stuff but i think it's acceptable for a shounen series

Yeah, like always, surviving the trials the school throws at you should always product interesting results.

We only saw the main character's stagiare and God Tongue Girl's, right?

I think Erina's reactions towards the Polar Star kids have made me dislike her a lot less. I mean, she's still a crappy tsukkomi, but it's one helluva improvement from her earlier characterization as a snotty, boring foodie-princess. Kurokiba trying his best to keep his hot-blooded personality in check was strangely endearing. :3:

Also Boo! Hiss! Go away, Foodie Aizen Dadkiri!.
