Death Bot posted:I just realized that them changing the name to Food Wars means that there's a 100% chance that "I challenge you to a food war!!" will be a frequently heard phrase. "Kitchen Combat" should've been the used instead. That way the area they compete in could be called Kitchen Colosseum.

BlitzBlast posted:Well I just powered through all of this. The title caught my eye, but man this is nothing like Yakitate Japan. I should know because I just reread that and man that series went to hell after the Monaco cup ended. For more outrageous dishes with less reactions, try Hell's Kitchen. It currently reached the beginning of a competition arc between normal cooking and molecular gastronomy themed around the five senses.

Serious Frolicking posted:It is spaghetti with ketchup used as the only sauce. It does not normally contain curry-infused pasta filled with cheese. The thing about Cheese going well with soy sauce is the first I've ever heard of it. Though, both of those ingredients have high amounts of "umami"/MSG

Hell's Kitchen is a wonderful alternative to Shougeki no Souma in case you need more cook-offs. It's a little sillier in places, but that's more due to the nature of the setting rather than out of tasting reactions and such.

I M honestly.not sure what it is, but reading this manga it feels a lot 'neater' in the art. That's the caliber of work you can get from someone who moved up from hentai doujinshi.

Law Cheetah posted:He was joking, you idiot. I wasn't joking actually For what it's worth, I don' actually know if working on doujinshi was the extent of his work before getting into Jump. He may have been doing it on the side while also being an assistant. The writing for most ero-doujins is pretty trashy though, but the art can meet the levels of published mangaka depending on the artist. He was publishing ero-manga at a monthly pace for a decent stretch of time too which meant that he was good enough at art to get at that level and was able to meet schedules solo.

jwang posted:In that case, don't bother eating chicken, pork, or beef, because they are killed just as coldly. More so in fact, since most of it nowadays is automated, and the efficiency of these factories at killing animals would probably be something that a genocidal maniac would salivate at. Modern day grocery shopping has removed all the gross and "cruel" parts out of getting your food, so killing, gutting, skinning, and so forth is no longer necessary as long as you're willing to pay the money. It still doesn't stop meat from being delicious though, so I'll continue being as omnivorous as my ancestors. I remember, when I was younger, watching my dad essentially kill a chicken by grabbing it by the legs and slamming it's head onto hard ground. That's one of the old methods of killing an animal. I've seen it done with a snake (also live) and with a dog on Youtube.

Tiramisu posted:I'm honestly surprised at how many of the students are grossed out by this. The guests I can understand, but breaking down a carcass is something taught in the first year at most culinary schools. It's really common when dealing with seafood too. When I buy a live fish at the supermarket, they club its head right behind the counter, and when you buy a lobster you generally kill it yourself. If you want to be humane, you plunge a knife into its head. Fish and Shellfish are a little less visceral than reptiles, birds or mammals (or amphibians) so there's a bit of a difference in reaction when slaughtering one over the other.

Serious Frolicking posted:Oh god. Gee, what can someone make with oil, eggs and lemons? That extra layer is some kind of mayonnaise. That's an abomination against the very idea of desserts. Lies. The idea of a dessert is a sweet dish. Said dish can easily have savory elements in it so long as it goes well together (Ex: Rock salt and chocolate). Certain schools of dessert making may frown on certain ingredients or certain techniques or certain styles of dishes, but at the end of the day, for a dessert, anything goes as long as its sweet.

Fabricated posted:You'd think that just throwing a half-dozen different kinds of meat cooked all different ways into a stew would just kinda make a mess and taste weird if eaten together. Like yeah, if you eat each type one at a time that'd maybe be okay but then you should've just made like a half dozen different bowls of stew?? You're thinking like Souma's opponent. There's definitely a way to cook all of those cuts in different ways to create an assortment of textures and flavors which go well together (which is one of the points of a dish).

vibratingsheep posted:Actually, a ton of porn tries to minimize male presence on camera in order to facilitate the self-insertion fantasy. In animated/illustrated form you can go an extra step and eliminate this to the point of having Invisidick(tm) be the only thing even close to male anatomy anywhere on a page. IME, fully drawn, but disembodied dicks tend to be more common than completely invisible ones. And they're usually disembodied because the panel cuts them off. "Invisidicks" do appear, but that's usually to appeal to those who have a fetish for seeing the insertion with outthething actually going into it obscuring the view. Older manga and doujinshi used to leave a white void, but that was both for censorship and reduction of effort since it was still all hand-drawn. Now, it's not quite as common anymore for whatever reason (artists' pride?)

Sextro posted:Can use the sealing (if rocking with a chamber sealer) to do a sort of quick pickling. Many dishes can use sous vide's precise temp control in combination with the quick pickling to do some neat things even within a 2 hour window. Poultry, fish and pork can all be done in less than 2 hours and don't necessarily benefit from the ultra-long cooks that you usually see associated with sous vide. I could see Souma using it if Alice taught him to (or Alice using it if she wasn't already out of the competition)

Astro Nut posted:That and fermentation can add a certain kick to such dishes that fresher foods won't. One of the brilliant thjngs about people and cuisine - we'll find some way to use an ingredient so long has it hasn't slipped into outright poisonous. And if it is, we'll either figure out how to minimize the harm of the poisons ingested (Fugu, alcohol) or get rid of it entirely (cassava).

Souma it's the shonen version of an everyman character in that he's an everyman despite being so amazing. Megumi is the opposite in that she's amazing despite being an every(wo)man which is the more typical concept.

If there's anything I've learned from watching Alton Brown break things down on Cutthroat Kitchen, it's that if you can use the microwave to make your life easier, DO IT. It shouldn't be the main step in making the dish though. It's useful for preparing other ingredients or materials like water, but not for something major.

pentyne posted:She'll probably end up stagnating or something and get all huffy and emotional when confronting Souma and then fall for him when she finds out who his father is. The whole "she's still the absolute greatest cook" is really starting to get annoying. Her cousin is a million times more interesting, if only because Alice will probably end up badgering Megumi for home-style cooking techniques so she's not completely dependent on all her fancy machines. I think we've already hit her in a stagnating position, it just it hasn't been demonstrated in a match yet. Her rank has insulated her from actually confronting any of the other rising stars in her year which is why we haven't seen it. The next arc will probably be another examination style are where all of the students are tested and eliminated and ranked against each other with Erina unexempt and finding herself not in first.
