Did not know that about Turkish Ice Cream. Still seems weird as gently caress to fill a ravioli with it and drop it in this insane pie.

imagine eating a soup pie, somehow getting a ravioli on your spoon without it slipping back off into the broth, and then biting into it and just having fuckin' laffy taffy stuck to your teeth.

The hosed up thing is that there were a bunch of perfectly good ways to avoid needing the consultant just by changing up challenges and also not requiring that the dishes being made actually sound like the literal best food in the world but nope things just had to go batshit

On simply a comics level, did he make 4 pies for each judge and Mana, or were they eating from the same pie? It uh....it never showed any perspective to let me know that.

they've already blown their narrative build up for that with erina's dish, i don't understand why people keep harping on this.

of course on the other hand i could definitely still see them trying to milk the same exact thing twice in a row in such quick succession because he's a hack writer lol

Soma's dish will look simple at first glance. BUT there is a dish! You see, in a surprising twist of things, Soma's dish has ANOTHER element added to it making it into a transforming dish! Truly a never before seen spectacle.

except this one's gonna transform 5 times

edit: actually as much as i hate the dumb new superpowers thing, i hate the loving hack writing more it's always the second presented dish that wins and everything wins 3-0 and souma always does transforming dishes and

I hope he presents the worst dish ever conceived, until you break open the bubble in the middle and unleash an even more unpleasant substance, but wait! By sprinkling over the stuff contained in this tiny pot, the dish transforms to be even more horrible than before!

and then the dish is so terrible it makes all other food palatable by comparison, curing Erina's mum and ending the conflict.

Soma's gimmick is transforming food, it's what he does.

Also yeah the dish sounds awful and just a mishmash of food but regarding the ice cream- You can get Turkish kebab sandwiches and Turkish ice cream at most festivals in Japan these days so there's a non-zero chance that Turkish ice cream is the only Turkish food the writer knows.

Should have added Doner kebab to that dish. Would have tasted pretty good as well.

That doesn't look like a well put-together dish. At all. It's just random bits of stuff from the various cuisines all thrown together into a soup bowl.

He didn't make an Oyakodo. He made his transforming furikiake rice with eggs.

And again, Erina already did that with her peanut butter squid dish in what was clearly supposed to be the final arc until we got this poo poo.

Next chapter Shun announces his retirement the same time as, coincidentally, an unknown artist going by “El Tosho” hits the douj scene like never before

Alternatively, Jouichirou shows everyone up like always, cooks unbelievable, never before seen food and marries Mana on the spot as the Japanese news reports the arson of the house of one Tsukuda Yuto by the one crazed fan girl that was buying 8 copies of each volume to support their ship

Oh gently caress off.

A full-chapter flashback that could have been resolved within two pages, tops. This is Bleach levels of stretching things.

Also: no Azami, you're still a terrible person. You don't deserve a "but I was really doing it all for the sake of my wife and daughter :qq:" flashback.

Azami: I may have had to give Erina a rough education but it was for her own good

Flashback that is in the actual manga: *Azami squeezing a grade school-age Erina's wrist so hard she's screaming and crying in pain for not throwing away slightly not perfect food*

Tsukuda: if you think about it, Azami is just as much a victim here
