    Oishinbo - Vol. 14 Ch. 126 - A Mother's Apples

    I never heard of Jonathan apples before this series LOL. Granny Smith is definitely the one I usually see being suggested as cooking apples for the same reasons stated. It's more tart, it's crispier/harder so it won't get soggy in pies, and stuff like that. Did it go out of popularity or is it...

    Afterlife Diner - Vol. 2 Ch. 73

    Man, this chapter is literally intruding on other religions. It's not all just the different sects in the same religion. Different religions have different concepts of the afterlife, and not all of them can be forced to fit in with this series' banking system. This bank seems like it was based...

    Detective Conan - Ch. 1143 - Like A Wisp Of Smoke

    Kuri means chestnut. In Japanese it's common to call chestnuts "maron", which is the Japanese spelling of marron, the French name of a kind of chestnut. A marron is a different kind from the "kuri" chestnut, but people just lump them together.

    Boku wa Konyaku Haki Nante Shimasen kara ne - Vol. 2 Ch. 11

    First Hamlet and then Romeo anf Juliet, but the reincarnated girl hasn't noticed anything?! Like did her world not have Shakespeare? Or she just never read it?

    Oishinbo - Vol. 14 Ch. 122 - The Treasure of The North Seas

    Had a sea urchin gunkan sushi once, and it tastes way too strong that I just got sick with just one bite. Maybe it'd taste better if cooked or something.

    Ore no Haitoku Meshi o Onedari Sezu ni Irarenai, Otonari no Top Idol-sama

    The summary misgendered Mamori. He's a guy, but the summary calls him a "her".

    Oishinbo - Vol. 17 Ch. 154 - Rays & Sharks (Part 2)

    Dude, don't just randomly call up a match, it's none yer business. Like, yeah, for the manga you gotta ramp up drama I guess, but just like with the gyoza match, these third-party news guys just butted in stirring up the pot and demanding it to be made into a match when nobody asked. Kinda...

    I've had crocodile. Tastes a bit similar to chicken IMO.

    Tensei Renkin Shoujo no Slow Life - Vol. 2 Ch. 10 - Wheels of Progress

    I hope it's because of some lame politics because if they're pulling from that misconception of Galileo and the church I'm going to be annoyed.

    Oishinbo - Vol. 17 Ch. 152 - Spring Gyoza (Part 3)

    What's this?! Kaibara didn't credit Chinese cooking for his creation?! He's a plagiarist!! Boo! Boo! That kind of rice flour skin gyoza is a pretty traditional item in Chinese cooking (edit: misnamed the food, it's the steamed dumpling of the Hakka people). Even if Kaibara put his own twist in...

    Why would they still have bad breath the next day? Are the toothpaste back in the day not made with the minty fresh kind of scent like today?

    Besides saber alter, jaguar and lancer, who are the other two additional people again?

    Mister Ajikko - Vol. 6 Ch. 51 - Pumpkin Flower

    Thank you for picking it up!!! Well, he considers it a failure for a reason. His trial and error method always involves using all sorts of random stuff that often doesn't seem sensible.

    Oishinbo - Vol. 16 Ch. 149 - The Meal Companion

    I totally get this chapter. When the rice is good, it's just good even on its own. I really sometimes eat rice with barely anything too because I like the flavour of the rice itself.
