This has been bothering me since I read the last chapter, and I need to let it out of my chest.

Soma, your dish does sound delicious and all, but isn't putting meat into chicken wings just ... Stuffed chicken wings?

Calling it gyoza sounds cool and all, but it really doesn't resemble gyoza more than Stuffed chicken wings, y'know?

Alone, she fights.
Much like how once a good writer understands the fundamentals of language they can break the rules with a purpose, Soma understands the fundamentals of cooking and now anything can be gyoza. Seriously though it's a riff on what you'd get from a very simplified explanation of gyoza, "stuff put inside a wrapper and fried/cooked" where in this case the wrapper happens to be chicken. Also "stuffed chicken wing" sounds like something you'd get at Applebee's.

This series would be way better if Erina and Rindou were switched and the main love interest was a trolling cat-girl instead of a generic tsundere.

Smash Erina and Rindou together and you get Alice. Make Alice the main heroine.

Actually no, Alice is also too cool for Soma. Give her a spin-off instead of Shinomiya.

Yeah, Soma's only really a cocky poo poo when it comes to cooking and even when he's knocked down a peg or two, he doesn't angst over it needlessly. Outside of that, he's pretty chill, respects his friends and has a knack for recognizing other people's good qualities.

Alice and Rindou are cool because they are awesome characters who don't need Souma to shine.

Megumi is cool and sweet and likes Souma and is more honest and upfront about it than Erina so I am rooting for Megumi.

Having Aldini be all dramatic and "wash your neck and wait for me" before winding up sitting right next Souma on the bus is one of my favorite gags from the anime.

Yeah pretty much this. I imagine this comes from maybe a bit of a lack of a long term plan for her after her being the first real opponent Souma had way back at the beginning.

Bad opinion time. I'm pretty meh on Megumi. I mean the character's fine and I've got no grudges against her or anything but I can't say I'm enjoying/finding every scene she shows up is is made better by her inclusion.

I actually fully agree; she isn't a very interesting character and is pretty cliche. Her personality is basically "is nice" (is there some label for earnest characters who are always trying their best?) and the fact that she tries hard and is good at cooking doesn't really change that. I don't think she's bad or anything (Soma certainly isn't any more interesting), but I have no idea why anyone would think she's one of the more interesting/entertaining characters in the series.
