You'd think something that's just used as livestock food and not fit for humans (in their minds) would be everywhere except for a city specializing in food for human consumption 🤨
Might be that the rice for livestock isn't "good enough" for human consumption.

To the TL, you're doing great and I super appreciate you doing this series. It's a great, turn off your brain and enjoy big, anime tiddies manga. The biggest issue I have with MTL is almost nobody takes that extra time to proofread and do any decent typesetting. You're awesome, keep being awesome.

food culture always evolved with time. and don't forget that in the beginning, food is usually cooked boiled or grilled.

grilled rice is just a no-no. and boiled rice will be bad if you don't remove the husk.

trivia : potato used to be a decorative plant, because it is considered poisonous. tomatoes used to be considered an evil food because of the colour. same thing with octopi because of their appearance.

Preparation has nothing to do with my point. Logically you'd go looking at the rice near you that is being used for livestock to see if it's usable. Instead he is just gonna fly to another town (so assuming it's pretty far away) that is based around food to get a food that isn't consumed by humans.... literally makes no logical sense

“Do you know about it?” Wait, didn’t he have rice at that one tavern with the fat chested waitress or was that a mistranslation

Small misspelling of “cheered” up

As always it's the Japanese guy going insane over rice. At least he didn't spend an entire chapter showing them how plain white rice is the most superior dish around and better than even the most gourmet fantasy food.

It is kinda funny though that usually when one is brought up like this it generally is regarded as livestock feed rather than anything else.

It goes well with meat /can take away greasiness/calm down spice but I don’t think I’ve ever had steamed rice by itself (I see the appeal of adding an egg into it but at that point I’d just want fried eggs or like an omelette /sandwich if I wanted carbs) cept maybe instant orange rice and even then I’d prefer it as a hot side to tacos at my usual place

Tho I’d expect them to have other options too since purple rice also exists (tho idk if the taste is diff I had yellow rice once and it was tasteless despite that places fried rice tasting decent) and colorful-ness would fit in an Isekai world even if they don’t dedicate a color panel to it

As someone from a culture that eats plenty of white/plain rice, it always bugs me when this JP trope pops up. At least this was one of the least grating examples of this I've seen.
Hopefully, we'll quickly move through the motions for this type of setup and continue with the fluff.

Modern Japanese rice, like most modern grains/produce, is absolutely nothing like the wild plant it originated from because it has been transformed by millenia of selective breeding for grains that are easy to remove the husk and polish and that produce soft, sweet, and slightly sticky rice. Going to a gourmet focused city said to have practically every good food in the world is actually his best bet at finding anything resembling modern rice let alone Japanese short grain rice given that no one would ever put that kind of effort into selectively breeding livestock grain but a rich gourmet might have the resources and motivation to do it.

Let me fix that right now, thanks. I read it before uploading, after uploading, and even on other sites. My eyes just didn't catch it.

Ehm, the potatoes are actually poisonous. The tuber not so much, unless you eat a green one, but the plant itself or the fruit can have quite dangerous level of alkaloids.

I blame nostalgia for this, plus most of these isekais are set in more or less medieval, European culture which obviously have different cuisine/palate than the Japanese/Asian one.

the next chapter 19.1 will be out in 1 week, hopefully. Every chapter is divided into three parts (1.1, 1.2, 1.3), and one part gets released either once a month or every 15 days. That's why there are delays. Thank you for reading.
