    Oishinbo - Vol. 12 Ch. 102 - Taste of Summer

    That’s the implication. It’s pretty clear that he’s been driving them nuts and Tanimura is, after all, the only actually nice person in this entire series…

    Wait, you think Bruce Lee isn't as famous as Jackie Chan? They're both certainly very famous here in the US...

    I wouldn't eat blowfish milt, either...

    Now, you're making the mistake of thinking school lunches in this country are meant to be anything other than awful.

    I was amused that the guy's name was Dragon Lee, since I'm a pro wrestling fan and there's currently a guy called Dragon Lee in WWE.

    Yeah, I think this is the first time we've heard from Teito since all the way back in Volume 4, I think.

    I could never understand why the Brits want to ruin eels that way. As for the yacht, the gourmet boom in 1980s Japan was very much a part of the "bubble economy" where real estate and stock prices were hugely inflated and it made a lot of people who hadn't been very rich. Part of the way those...

    Funny enough, my girlfriend and I were watching this episode of the anime last night. Gotta say, knowing exactly what Bird's Nest Soup is, that's a hard pass from me. I just can't get around the whole "eating a big pile of spit" thing.

    The first reported case came from England in 1986 and this volume was first published in 1987, so just after.

    I’m glad, too. No, that’s alright. A very generous person has shared the raws with me, so I can continue working on it. I appreciate the offer, though.

    Yeah, subverting expectations from the first part.

    Nyaa's not been working for me for the last few days. I've spoken to someone who has the raws that I need, though. So, I'm hopeful to resume immediately.

    A note to those following along with my translation... I had only downloaded through Volume 12 before the attack on the Internet Archive. As of right now, the Oishinbo Raws seem to be unavailable still, it's why I'm slow-walking my TLs. However, if the raws really have been completely scrubbed...

    Thanks very much, I appreciate it.

    Oishinbo - Vol. 11 Ch. 92 - Midsummer Ice

    I can't believe that Yamaoka didn't find it morally objectionable to water down the booze...

    Well, Food Wars is probably the closest thing. I only watched the anime, though, so take it with a grain of salt.

    Oishinbo - Vol. 10 Ch. 91 - Fried Chicken

    No idea. I've only ever ate it with the breading because that's how I like it.
