of course the food isn't taste the same, you disband the whole group.

 

[riflow]

He dismantled the environment that made it taste good all on his own, especially if he scattered all his friends and family to the winds in the process.

Rouge you're so cool 🥹she's always looking out for them, I love that so much.

Thanks for the tl!

 

[Mogima]

the guy's an idiot.
why disband the troupe? just explain to them. he knew what the original troupe could do. the bond is already there.

 

[fjalar]

lol, okay. How long ago since he was kidnapped?

I would say 1 to 3 days depending on how far he needed to travel

"Fuck you man, I want my Ratatouille moment"

We got a Chinese CEO fired my own dad episode.

Just like u7 any CEOs today. You know, Robert Kiyosaki.

 

[fight2live]

Because it's not a Soukugeki no Soma level.

I know, he is.... bruh.

 

[OWMWO]

He chose to chase money over keeping his old company.

Now the only taste left is REGRET.

I think this chapter goes deeper than this, old man say it SHOULD be accurate recreation meaning chances he is aware he is not recreating in the way he was doing.
First of all cooking prep is important, then the campfire methode using leaves, there are several deciding factors that can affect the end result. In this case herb pan seared will taste different than campfire 'leaves baking'.

It tasted good before when old man cook it using whatever existed and be grateful for that. Now everything is luxury, full of ingredients, and its taste different. Old man gave a quiet jab, even if the look and origins are the same, how it become can be different, depends on how the process is.
The boy before has changed so much, a change that pushed the oldman to give a metaphor dish, hoping that he realize himself how much has he changed now.

 

[Wnf]

He doesn't actually want to eat the food but he doesn't know that yet.

 

[llxUnknownxll]

Well no duh it doesn't taste as good as it did when you are a well fed rich man as it did when you were a starving kid. Hunger is the best seasoning after all

That's exactly why we keep checking the fridge and cupboards for something to eat. Even though the food inside's not changing, our standards certainly do, from hunger.

 

[Forkuth]

Time to make him regret being rich.
But why disband the troupe why not keep them around and help them the way they stuck with your family.

 

[Lunasol]

I think what he lost is the taste of happiness.

or he taste the taste of loniness.

 

[Lunasol]

of course the food isn't taste the same, you disband the whole group.

AND THEY WERE YOUR FAMILY!

 

[NeverAnother]

A story that gives the message but doesn’t hammer it down actually makes you mull the message over more.

 

[phil777]

You can never get back what you had once it's lost. The past should be remembered, but not idealized.

 

[LordTartaros]

Hours only, probably.

Like a puppy who greets you like a long lost friend when you were gone for groceries for like an hour max

Like a puppy who greets you like a long lost friend when you were gone for groceries for like an hour max

Most likely days but less than a week, based on how tired Selen looks and how she really run over to his arms.

 

[TestAddress]

Rouge proves she's the best girl!

Becoming an underworld cook is tempting though...

 

[TestAddress]

If he accepts that contract even the last 1y of his life will be shortened immensely.

Look how many people are killing Gofu for his businesses.
