He just needs to beat the smell guy, is all. It isn't like he is gonna lose, so I'm more interested in how Megumi is gonna pull through. Underdogs are way more interesting than prodigies.

Nah, the reactions in this manga are exaggerated for comedic effect. In Yakitate Japan, that sort of reaction would literally involve being punched in the face. Here, food is limited to being delicious/nasty and making people feel good/bad. Even the really flowery descriptions have been mostly limited to professional judges and expert chefs. If I recall correctly, that fried chicken wrap thing just made people exclaim that it tasted very good and that they wanted more.

I kind of hope that Souma loses here and the rest of the tournament arc is all about Tadokoro's journey to the top.

Souma loses sometimes, but not in the first stage of a tournament arc. He might lose later on, but there is no point in even having a tournament if the mc barely participates. As rad as it might be if the rest of the arc was about Megumi going through the tournament after Souma loses, that ain't happening.

I was rereading this recently, and I noticed just how amazingly funny a lot of the recipes really are. Like, early on Souma deglazes a pan with wine and then thickens it with starch and then people react like it was this revolutionary new technique.

Dantes posted:We live in a time where they had to invent a (disgusting) microwavable mac & cheese because boiling water was getting to hard for a new generation. In relative terms, deglazing sounds like a bankai (and the auto corrector don't even recognize it as a valid word...) . They didn't even call it deglazing. Instead, they described the entire process in detail as though they had never heard of it before.

Even though they keep talking up how amazing the academy is, most of the students are likely related to alumni. It doesn't even seem to be well-known overseas. In the end, it is just a japanese trade school. So, why would anyone who didn't already speak the language bother to attend? Oh, but was that indian guy half-japanese?

Just about all of the dishes in contests are either japanese cuisine or foreign cuisine with a japanese twist. Even that Chaliapin (translated as Shalyapin in the manga) steak from early on was actually a japanese recipe. However, all of the judges have also been japanese (because they are in japan). What's wrong with trying to appeal to the judges?

Isn't karaage just boneless fried chicken? Sticking that in a wrap isn't some unique innovation, though the specific wrapping they used was unusual.

AVeryLargeRadish posted:Well, the seasoning, batter and cooking method are different enough that I would call it it's own dish. But yeah, what they did is not all that unique. I think the point was to show the way you have to think to beat or bypass a business competitor, i.e. find a niche that they don't fill and dominate it. I'm pretty sure Cooking Papa has been ongoing for about 20 years.

So its primary appeal is a very gummy/sticky meat patty? I'm not sure why having food stick to the roof of your mouth is supposed to be pleasant.

I guess this latest contest is just a demonstration of a simple rule you should always follow. Never go to an american food restaurant while you are overseas. They will get it subtly, disturbingly wrong. Well, obviously not to the extent of calling minced turtle in steamed bread or a gyro hamburgers, but it usually isn't particularly edible either.

Mimasaka has really been slacking when it comes to preparing to beat Souma. He said that he was surprised that such a good knife could be found in a mere special of the day shop, which means Mimasaka has no idea who Souma's father is. Sure, cooking talent isn't hereditary, but it means he was trained by one of the best professional chefs in the world. If Mimasaka didn't properly investigate Souma's background, what else is he missing?

jwang posted:Well the thing is his father took the surname of his mother, who is a nobody as far as the cooking world goes. The only people who knows who his father is are the Polar Dorm folks, and I doubt they'll be feeling charitable towards Mimasaka. It's part of the reason why so many people are surprised at how good Souma is. Yeah, but that's mostly because no one actually bothered looking into Souma's family. His dad is currently an active chef under that name, so he obviously isn't a complete hermit.

I still find it kind of funny that a guy who learned french cuisine at a japanese vocational high school became a huge success in paris. Likewise, the sons of an italian restaurant in italy got sent to a japanese vocational high school to prepare them to take over the family business. All of the foreign food made in this manga is decidedly japanese-style and made to please japanese judges, but there is never any recognition of this fact.

If none of it is cooked in the same pot, is it even stew? Granted, it wasn't required to be stew at all. Souma just decided to use beef stew for the contest, so this beef assortment in a miso sauce thing isn't breaking any rules.

For all that Erina gets lots of focus on color pages and such, the manga is set up so that she very rarely interacts with the main character. Even if she wasn't by far the least interesting female character, Erina simply hasn't been around enough to warrant being called the heroine.

Megumi vs. Alice would actually be very interesting because their cooking styles are radically different. Erina's would just be good because she is good- she lacks any real defining characteristics.

Rindou is right though, it is more interesting to join the guy who is spectacularly incapable of running a restaurant because that poo poo's hilarious. Like, he probably couldn't even manage to do one of those student food stalls without getting punched in the face.
