Is brain soup really that tasty?
What killed le hype? This show's like a solid 10, doofuses.
Pick or drop?
>>289335108Pick your nose and drop those boogies, sire.
Characters are less likable than yakitate Japan. I was unfamiliar with the manga prior and I realize it would be a wacky cooking manga but in the first episode where he complains about the fried rice is stupid considering it is fucking fried rice. Fried rice just needs to be acceptable.
>>289332987I imagine not very, probably tastes very metallic.
Ive had chinese food all over the world (also in china) and came to the conclusion it is kind of mediocre on a scale or the world's foods. Japanese is better
>>289337036Also someone brought up yakitate japan itt. I liked that too and I think it's because by the 21st century every culture has some form of bread in their diet. I think with bread you get a lot more recognition and empathy from the audience since anyone reading likely has a favorite bread.
>>289337036I tried chinese food twice and it was enough to decide it's not for me. way too greasy.
>>289337082Yeah and then someone will tell you that you haven't had real chinese food because you never at out a pigs asshole like they would in rural China. Chinese cuisine is hard to discuss cause it is so varied in China itself let alone variations of it are so different globally. But yeah high oil use in chinese food is everywhere.
>>289332987Was it sheep? If so, yes, they're brains are very good.
>>289336170>Fried rice just needs to be acceptable.Sure, if you're a dog.
>>289337082>I tried chinese food twice and it was enough to decide it's not for me.I get why someone would feel that way.
I watched both the episodes, to be honest I hate when food is wasted, so I hope this is going to be discussed in future episodes. Jan just wasted that rice and just for this reason he lost a billions of points as a cook.
Someone post a .webm of the girl chef's ass please
>>289332987It's creamy meat. it goes well with mayonnaise.
>>289337164True, oil is the enemy of races that gets fat easily.
>>289338547Yeah agreed. At least feed it to a dog. Reading the first 10 or so chapters, its a typical cooking manga with some comedy. A slightly less dramatic yakitate is a good comparison. The food waste so far is kind of annoying to me since what the people in this manga call shit is still good food.
I love Kiriko's butt.
>>289340764Just threw up in my mouth. Thanks.
>>289332987Fat is flavor and the brain is 60% fat or so, on par with the fat ratio in high quality wagyu beef.
>>289337036Reminder that these cooking anime are usually about the top chefs, not the street food. Even real Chinese can rarely have those fancy meals featured in these shows.
I will not eat the prions
>>289342788The ingredients are straight from the village, the only thing that makes them fancy is the technique.
This is AOTS but only for chinkaboos who appreciate hardcore Chinese cooking
>>289338547I feel like a piece of shit the rare times I outright ruin something and have to throw it all out. Wasting food is really bad.
>>289342852That's for brain cannibalism. You can eat pig brains or calf brains and that's safe, it's just that rather few people in the modern world choose to, because it's just not a very nice or enjoyable part to eat. You only really see it linger in very old rural populations, because it held on there longer for No Part Gets Wasted notions, and the few people there who grew a taste for it (because you can still buy it here and there, and they're the target audience).Prions are dangerous when you eat brains from your own species, then it can give you what's basically Mad Cow Disease. The name for that came from British farmers grinding up cows when they died prematurely, then feeding it to their other cows, and that included the brains, so that infected them. From there, just eating the meat from those infected cows is a risk of infecting yourself, hence the big alarm for that back then.For a direct example, some tribals in Papa New Guinea have cannibalism as a funerary rite, where they'll eat their own dead, and for centuries, people there would sometimes get sick with a mysterious "Laughing Disease" and slowly die. Research in the 1950s figured out what was going on, and they were told they should stop eating the brains, and that would make it stop, and sure enough, it stopped happening since, with only scant stray dormant infections in older people who had eaten brains before then.tl;dr you're not missing anything, but it's fine
>>289334866series doesn't really hit its stride until the first cooking tournament
>>289334866I like it but I could immediately tell that this would not be popular in English-speaking fandomsHopefully it's doing well enough domestically to keep going, I dunno how many cours are planned for this
>>289337082I would say the same. there are nice snacks to be had but the main dishes ive had didnt sit well
>>289346059It was doomed here the second it wasn't another isekai slop with a smug elf girl. Old cooking manga pacing + Chinese food autism + characters actually being assholes is like anti-bait for twitter tourists.If it gets even 12 episodes and sells some manga volumes that's probably enough. I doubt anyone expected /a/ to carry Jan threads in current year.
It might just be because I spend most of my days half-starved, but I think most ethic food is delicious.
>>289345353chinese food is pretty extreme. I hear even their shrimps can fry rice
>>289346444I figured /a/ wouldn't give a shit but I got worried when I scoured futaba and there were no watch threads.But then I checked a past logs site and realized the show airs in the late evening, not early morning
>>289346794No fucking way.
What you say nigua?
This shit was very fun
>>289336170no cooking anime has ever managed to reach Yakitate's height, every time I watch a cooking/food anime it just makes me want to rewatch it
