I tried to get soba today, then I saw that I was going to have to go to Noodle Theory, and noped out. (Fusion ramen. *shudder*)

I tried to get soba today too but this city is infatuated with ramen so there's no good soba places. I wish was still in Tokyo because even a cheap chain store had better soba than over here.

I've only had cold buckwheat noodles, I think. Cold soba, naengmyeon, makguksu, etc. Love me some naengmyeon.

where the red fern gropes posted:i dont know what soba is, i know its noodles and it looks like the word soda but the d is backwards Delicious buckwheat noodles usually served cold. You pick it up, dip it in uh soba sauce, then slurp it down. Usually eaten with delicious tempura. It's all over the place in Japan but I imagine it's much less common outside of it, but I can't be certain since I'd never been far out of suburban Florida before moving here.

You can *sort* of get the same experience with 'tsukemen ramen', but the noodles aren't the same (obviously) and it's more like a deconstruction of ramen as opposed to imitating soba.

Got bored. Got ramen. Then went looking for something to tide me over through Golden Week. Have a recorded segment from NPR on food manga. Shokugeki no Soma features somewhat prominently. http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/08/08/488385808/food-manga-where-culture-conflict-and-cooking-all-collide

SwissArmyDruid posted:Oishinbo is written by Tetsu Kariya, who is very opinionated about food and creates drama about growing and cooking it. "It's kind of controversial," says Aoki. "He defends eating whale meat, the history of it, how delicious, how dare anyone tell us not to." Reading that manga must be like opening a page to a fresh new fart in your face

Oishinbo's pretty good art wise, the food pics are really good, but it is ironically like the uppity gourmet father character in of itself.

Unless there's a Shyamalan-like twist where it turns out that it was Subaru instead of Soma, and his channeling of Soma was so good that no one noticed.

The only way this cliffhanger ending is deserved is if Souma loses.

TheKingofSprings posted:I like Souma and all but the focus doesn't need to be on him every loving time I mean, my problem with this is that he just went up against an Elite 10's specialty and beat her by using his DINER INGENUITY. That's the same story of every dish he's made, including the first shokugeki against Nikumi. All that needs to happen at this point is that Nene falls in love with him afterwards and its the same exact plot.

The Elite Ten are looking more and more like a joke, really, and I'm not sure that's a good thing.

Eizen, I can understand being a joke because he literally did not take Souma and co. seriously and that reflected in his versus match with him. This is ehhhhhhh /hand gestures

I'm pretty sure Souma is about to take the L. It makes no sense to cliffhanger it with Souma going last if he wins.

This is a team battle right? What if Souma loses and naked-apron senpai and big-sword senpai both win? They all pass then right?

Yeah that cliffhanger line is reading like "In objective terms we can't give Souma the win, but his dish had no right to be as good as it was, much less competitive" to me.

It'll probably be the same thing where in Soma's the soba was the star as opposed to glasses soba where the soba didn't stand out enough or something. Or maybe he loses!

While the super bad luck of actually picking her specialty was a decent enough gag, using another ingredient that let her also use her Soba skills while Souma did something else would have been better. Souma using unexpected techniques is fine, but beating a master in their discipline because he always did love Cup O' Raman isn't actually that satisfying a payoff.

It's not happening unless the arc turns out to be a red herring becuase the entire Rebel faction other than Erina loses instantly and then she just one-shots all of Central. net work error posted:It'll probably be the same thing where in Soma's the soba was the star as opposed to glasses soba where the soba didn't stand out enough or something.

Soma actually has quite a record of losing battles whenever it's possible for him to without instantly being expelled or whatever. Since the team battle structure doesn't require him to win at all costs, I'd actually be somewhat surprised if he never loses in this sequence. Even if it's just at the very end to Tsakasa, letting Erina finish it.
