You can do the perfect half split at home, this article says you can just do it with normal cooking knife. So yeaaah, might be that's just the personal habit of the person who gave the artist the source material. When I looked for pictures of homemade dried horse mackerel, there's pictures of...

And even then it is a long enough time. The office people's shift in character is not that abrupt. It's only because I recently read older chapters for fun that I notice how different they used to be.

You're right, literally my problem here is that he brings up the issue and then still just barrels on with "Must Natural Food" and ignores the problem. That vague "men and women has to help each other to make this work" isn't enough. If he had at least said "the husband should help the wife by...

Why is the natural wild dried fish cut differently than the factory one? The factory ones are split straight in half, while the natural one just opens the body and the head isn't split. I guess the artist just happened to get his "natural dried mackerel" sample/reference looking like that so...

Yeah, I was rereading some old chapters recently and the characters were much more subdued back then. Even when Koizumi or Ohara was yelling it looks serious and not the comedic "AAAAH I'M FREAKING OUT" like they do in the later chapters. Before it was only Tomii who was the flailing guy...

Blah blah, nutrition and prep, whatever, but at the same time it doesn't address the issue the glasses woman was bringing up: no time and too much work. Am I gonna just have to assume the "men and women working together" line at the end there implies the husband needs to help the wife pick up...

Yeah, like it's slapstick that felt super out of place to me because the setting is way more subdued. That baseball bat attack doesn't look "LOL funny slapstick", it looks like "legitimate attempted murder". This is not like a gag/comedy series like a Ranma 1/2 manga where you can literally beat...

To be fair, the ladies has already been flanderised into obnoxious hags who bully Yamaoka constantly many many chapters before Dan even appeared. Kurita herself included. They were screeching when Yamaoka bought sushi for old Toyama's family and refused to tell them who it was for, and them...

Ok, that makes sense. Either meaning (taste or etiquette-wise) can work, but it's still just different so I was wondering which one was it. Although, the original Japanese word doesn't really clarify either way, IMO. There is the concept of 乱暴な味 (violent/rough flavour), which I often see used in...

Hoo boy, I remember this from the Ala Carte compilations. I'd take the French cuisine sans wine, thanks. Ramen rice is way too much for me. I like ramen and I like rice, but not both at the same time. It's just... too much carbs and makes me feel overstuffed. Also the Ala Carte version had said...

I can give him the benefit of the doubt that he's not lying on purpose, and dude's just a big idiot who doesn't always do good research. Like, we just established that this guy didn't used to know about the salt laws, and he's messed up descriptions about Japanese food in other chapters as well...

Oh, he sure is acting obnoxiously like a know-it-all very often. And he actually is super inconsistent about it too. There was one chapter where one of the characters says something along the lines of "We are all humans, what is delicious would be delicious no matter the culture" or whatever...

There's emu and crocodiles too. Wonder what they would go with to impress Kaibara.

Considering how handwavey it was in the sea bream chapter (there was just some "group" somewhere still making salt traditionally somehow), I am mostly convinced the author probably didn't realise how strict the ban was back then. Maybe he just assumed natural salt production still exist out...

What are you on about? Literally the problem being discussed here was that the factory salt doesn't have minerals that would've been there in natural saltmaking process. Also, in a previous chapter Yamaoka and Okaboshi had made salted dried fish with domestic-made natural salt. Either the...

Beauty of nature is good and all, but some sort of development is necessary. You need accommodation for the tourists, after all. If you don't like hotels and "resorts" (whatever the definition of that means), at least you'd need at least some sort of clean cabins and well-kept roads. Not many...

Okaaaayyy... but that makes me confused. If the good "pure" salt can't be sold because of the monopoly, then where do the good restaurants get their "pure and not industrialised salt" from this whole time? Also, Kinjo, you should've at least offered to treat Yamaoka to good food for his troubles.

Forgot to mention earlier, but I am very curious what the salt problem is. Like I figure it's probably blah blah supermarket cheap salt that's not natural sea-salt, but I don't know what the difference would've been.

Serves him right for getting Yamaoka excited about the food and making him go away like that. Should've picked a better way to do it LOL. Random TL addition: In the panel after Kaibara shows up at the place, the toothpicks Yamaoka was playing with spells アホ "aho" (stupid/dumbass) LOL.

Goya/bitter gourd is another thing I never tried. Or, maybe it's actually mixed in some food I've had but never noticed.
