Pretty sure Hugh’s country is a kingdom, hence he being King as opposed to being an Empire like the country the main cast is part of, which has an Emperor

Oh we getting some chestnut based Japanese cuisine next?

Also, Edwin? A master spy? Been awhile since Jean came up so what did Edwin do again to convince him?
In his first meeting him Edwin are near drinking and eating meat , a deacon eating and drinking is suspicious in his eyes. Edwin also bid him goodbye which is also made him suspicious.

Anyway, This made me suspicious the Tale Collector are not a spy agency at all but merely state sponsored storytellers. What if it is all in his head.

I wonder what conclusion he will spin up . I bet it would be on line of "Is this a secret message? " or something

Is i just me or the amount is too small to be a gift to a queen or even just a sister

since this is a manga about food, i had my own spiralling like Jean but it was "what kind of food is it that it would burst?" :dogkek:

my first thought was some kind of soda drink, and wouldn't that be pretty mindblowing for this setting?

I just reread Gen and now this, I don't really know but I do really hope that one day Gen and Nobu can meet with each other lol. But I also wondered if both Izakaya happened on the same timeline since Hugh's looks are basically the same. At least I can only hope that they will meet as an Isekai Izakaya owners

There are different species and varieties of chestnut

BEWARE: the ones on top are not chestnuts, they are horse-chestnuts, or conkers. Despite the name, it's a totally unrelated plant, and the nuts are slightly toxic.

The worst part about Jean's entire delusion, is that it's not that far fetched in context. :D They should have just told him it was a gift.
They'd probably say to him something like "please deliver this gift for the princess from the royal court, as a gesture of our earnest feeling towards her years of faithful service to the royal family" and it would've been hilariously worse

I don't think they're <i>just</i> glorified bards/storytellers. If you go and eat the local cuisine in another country, you know what's accessible to them. In his introduction, Jean freaked out because Nobu was using black pepper on their potato salad. Remember how Lonbaudt was irritated because Arnoux didn't react to the gift of peppercorns? It used to be incredibly valuable because of the time and money spent to transport it. Before oil, pepper was called "black gold." He was startled because that meant Aitheria, the beat down former capital city, was so flush with money that a bar could buy such a luxury.

The first one is called in French "marrons d'Inde" and are not edible (even poisonous), and the ones at the bottom are called "châtaignes" or "marrons" when they are cooked (as a side dish, or as a sweet confectionary), and those one are delicious.
