Im not the one who started this my guy, im just the one bringing attention to it so ya'll wont do it again. You can stop reading the manga if that upsets you.
I usually wouldnt say this but that's just flatout wrong lmao. Even if you take away the fact that this is a Japanese person speaking to an ancient Greek child and an alien snowman of unknown origin, even if you take away the translation between 料理 and "cooking", the definition of words is still...
As a general reply to this inciteful discussion on etymology:
Dont forget that all these definitions are opinions of the characters, i dont agree with Saburo's definition, even in japanese (which i can speak conversationally) but it's what he believes. I just translate it lmao.
