Thanks for the TLs. Time to teach everyone how to deep fry anything into a tasty dish.

 

[tlst9999]

Good cooking is world peace.

That's my ideal world.

Y'all are underestimating humanity's trial and error over several millenia to find out which animals/plants are edible and which aren't.

 

[Baelgun]

I've always said that in those fantasy mangas where some of the ingredients we eat nowadays are considered trash probably never had to deal with famines a lot because i guarantee you if famines really strike hard they'll try to eat anything and make it more palatable, hell a third of the food we have today where created in times of duress (the others two thirds being "conserving food for longer" and "luxury for the elites")

Yeah, people even ate each other during really bad famines, like The Great leap forward or the Holodomor.

Apparently you can eat sea animals. HOLY SHIT

 

[jaes9898]

try food that's within our territory? ❌❌❌
self induced famine? ✔️✔️✔️

again, wise king my ass.

 

[Claresilver47]

Yeah, the claim about not eating octopuses are bullshit. Fishermen absolutely ate them and even figured out which ones were safe to eat. They just never traded it with anyone because octopus, much like shell fish, rots within literal hours and can't be preserved without refrigeration

This misconception of the western world being adverse to seafood are unironically the fault of Americans. There are a ton of Americans in landlocked regions who have never seen a whole fish, to these people fish is canned tuna or processed fish sticks. Hell, you could open a can of whole sardines in front of them and this would make them reel and gag because they've never smelled anything like it. And then there is the fact that some regions simply don't have a robust ocean fishing culture due to the lack of natural harbors, tidal pools or just freezing ocean water year round. Fresh water fishing is very popular though and there is in fact dishes out there that manages to make catfish taste less like mud

 

[Serathe7]

How did they live long enough to form a kingdom with such poor food knowledge?? Or are the monster invasions a more recent thing?

 

[Minipels]

The "wise" king is really dumb, wouldn't the first thing to do if there is a famine try to eat things you don't till you find something you can? or at least try to stablish trade with another country,I mean it's either die trying or just die

Thanks for the tl,will you translate chapter 15 when you catch up to the raws?

your judging a medieval society with access to magic by the standards of a modern world with access to large technologies
and

Octopus along with Snails and Bugs all have the same "don't eat them" taboo places that eat them are the exception not the rule

Everyone knows what a fish is dumbass they teach you in school. even in landlocked areas even in premodern times fish was exported around to world from places like Egypt and in the modern day it's even easier.

 

[Kefrayba]

The king was such an ass earlier but now he also wasn't too proud to grovel (as he should have). I respected him for that.

You completely misunderstood my comment, this whole misconception about the west never having ever seen a whole fish is because a lot of people think those videos of Americans over reacting to seeing a real fished cooked whole. That is just some landlocked regions in America that is nowhere near any oceans, rivers or lakes but because it's from pre-internet days it just became a sort of tabloid gossip that gets traded around as though it's a fact despite it being from 30 year old videos. You'd be surprised at how long housewives tote these tabloid "facts" as though they are true

If we look at it historically though, people ate whatever the fuck was edible in the region and cooked accordingly. Sometimes you get a bumper harvest of apples and just apples. Well better start getting creative with those apples because that's 60% of what you're eating for the next 3 months

As for the magic thing, we've been told repeatedly that Blythe has been casually casting advanced magic and that what he does is absolutely not normal. He's practically a one in ten million magic prodigy. The ability to freeze things solid like that would be well beyond the capabilities of a standard mage and it's pretty clear that magic engineering is also very behind

Dont think too hard about story logic, even the writer doesnt take this story seriously

"Food buffs is a national secret but it should be fine to have the nice guard taste some."

1: Dude I'm Canadian. Stop bringing up fish like your gonna convince me. Maybe if you live in the Mojave without internet you might not have ever seen a fish but here's the thing THE EXCEPTION does not make a good argument to stand on.

2:Yes more or less but even back then your had options let's look at india and the what 200 kinds of soups and 50 kinds of bread??? or my own country Canada you eat what you fish up or hunt I don't need to go into town but if i do I can buy preserves or seasonings yes they did not have such conveniences back then but markets have existed for longer then most settlements and while money was tight barter was not even the uneducated knew enough that a balanced diet was preferable to just hording your harvest of 40 apples ever heard se it takes a village? people trade everyone would get some and try to contribute heres another one the story of Stone Soup or meals like Ratatouille which used to be made of leftovers.

3: except we have the elf casually teleporting the whole whisk thing high speed inaccurate princess and even the mana tower. prodigy means nothing when the rest of the world is just as capable.

 

[duodecimus]

What does a normal meal even look like for these people? So far we've seen bread, and stalls in the markets sell fresh vegetables.
Is that literally all anyone eats? No milk or eggs or meat means that they may never have had a food stuff that you need to cook before eating.
I wonder if whoever invented bread patented 'cooking' and just lives off of the royalties from breadmaking.

You forgot the "maybe it's not THAT rotten" section...
