    Oishinbo - Vol. 16 Ch. 141 - The Taste of 50 Years (Part 1)

    I will make a guess, the sausages were bad because of additives and preservatives and it's not the "purely crafted meat sausages" from the old times that's made from only real meat and spices, and the casing is artificially made instead of livestock intestines.

    Oishinbo - Vol. 15 Ch. 140 - The Ultimate Secret Menu

    Plain "sauce" (ソース) in Kurita's story is referring to Worcestershire sauce. It seems to be the most commonly used "foreign condiment" (especially back in the 80s), so when people say "sauce", they're not likely to mean ketchup or chili or whatever else. It's also a dark brown liquid and looks...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 12 Ch. 104 - The Point of Gold

    This particular thing about the tea room was mentioned in museums I think? https://www.asobo-saga.jp/articles/detail/9f2c968f-4568-4a45-9277-54dadde1b6cc https://www.aichi-kyosai.or.jp/service/culture/internet/art/antique/antique_1/post_92.html The other stuff I read in various other history...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 12 Ch. 104 - The Point of Gold

    Oh, sure. The issue about the uncertainty is that clear documentation of Rikyu being involved in the construction has yet to be found. It's not about the wabi sabi culture. Anyone who is careful with historicity would just not dare to make a definitive claim. I honestly never heard of the...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 12 Ch. 104 - The Point of Gold

    I mean, if anything Rikyu should be the "host" rather than the guest most of the time. Rikyu was more or less employed by Hideyoshi and should be the one making the tea for other guests in the golden tearoom, such as imperial courtiers. Some theory even say that Rikyu was the one who was...

    Kusuriya no Hitorigoto ~Maomao no Koukyuu Nazotoki Techou~ - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - Aphrodisiac

    One of the cases in this series involved a crystal clear glass fish bowl. To my knowledge glass that are this unblemished is not a thing until maybe the 1600s? 1700s? Clearly this fantasy universe is more advanced despite the costumes looking like older dynasties.

    Q.E.D. iff - Vol. 24 Ch. 48 - Seven Facts

    I also have seen enough digital vs traditional artwork to tell the difference. When you compare it to the super duper old chapters where it's actually pen and ink on paper, you can tell that even the more detailed one is also digital. Since the picture on the left is also digital, and the one...

    Q.E.D. iff - Vol. 24 Ch. 48 - Seven Facts

    The more detailed image on the left was literally from the previous chapter. It's not from a super old volume. Your art style shouldn't degrade this quickly unless the series really had an actual hiatus between the last chapter and this one. The artist has been doing digital for a while. Both...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 15 Ch. 136 - Hometown Song

    Is it the typesetting or the text that was difficult? The guy was just shouting "roast sweet potatoes, roast swet potatoes" over and over, it's just typed up in that decorative font to emphasise that he's doing it in a unique way (I think he was half singing it).

    Q.E.D. iff - Vol. 24 Ch. 48 - Seven Facts

    The artwork felt like it has so much less details compared to just the previous chapter. I wonder what happened to the artist. It's especially visible in the hair, though there's less details in various other parts. Like the inking seems heavy and very simple-looking, like it's done with a...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 11 Ch. 100 - Fond de Veau (Part 1)

    You can apparently pull out the marrow from bigger bone cuts as these solid chunks that looks like little sausages. I'm assuming you'd have to cook it first or something, and then it gets sliced up and served.

    Kyou no Ohiru wa Nan desu ka? - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - Your Talent

    Was just gonna say myself, it was great that she's helping him have more confidence to assert himself, but it really rubbed me wrong how she just helped herself to his food on their first meeting and then sorta selfishly starts demanding for more. Like she just ate everything?!? Then that means...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 15 Ch. 133 - Ultimate VS Supreme (Part 2)

    I think I remember this being referenced in one of the ala carte books, clearly a chapter from a later volume. Yuzan got better eggs, so it's not necessarily because the cooking itself is better. I wonder if they will just call this moot or if they do over the contest. The other chapter didn't...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 15 Ch. 132 - Ultimate VS Supreme (Part 1)

    It kinda annoys m that we don't even know what WAS the Ultimate Menu content that they've been working on. It was referenced from time to time that so and so food is worthy of the menu, but I suppose they were intending to reveal the grand spread in the big event. In the food battles it always...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 14 Ch. 131 - Bowl Preparation Test (Part 2)

    I hate to drudge up old topic, but this right here is why the whale chapters were so iffy. Like, here they're criticising the government for not doing enough in conservation and/or greenlighting projects that will endanger the clams. But over there with the whales it just sounds more like "we...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 14 Ch. 128 - Taste of Saury

    Yamaoka wasn't flip flopping about the mackerel. First, the translator engine is being wonky. All the parts that says mackerel is actually still Pacific saury (sanma). They weren't discussing two kinds of fish. It's all just saury to help Black with his saury rakugo. Also in the old chapter...

    Kyou no Ashura Meshi - Vol. 2 Ch. 9 - Bodhisattva and Asura

    Hey, hey. Listen, you probably weren't expecting this to be the case, but the translation was wrong. That's the problem. Don't be mad at the author/creator for this. What the text actually said was: "After I met Akira, and he said he loved me, I was able to LOVE MYSELF MORE". (big text to...

    Exactly. Or maybe making something like tonkatsu that uses chicken meat instead of pork.

    Detective Conan - Ch. 1136 - Once-In-A-Lifetime Encounter

    I mean, we're English readers. I'm also used to seeing those faux kanji alphabet I already knew it was weed from the start, it was just a matter of seeing how the weird things was done.
