From prehistoric times we've been desperately preserving food and water with tons of spices, herbs, salt, smoke, vinegar, alcohol, or lactic acid dramatically altering their taste. Funnily enough we got used to these flavors and even when fresh products are available all year round, we still consume preserved goods regularly.

True. I've sat down and eaten a jar of pickles more times than I care to admit...

Until now, I still can't understand why in manga they make beer look like the tastiest thing in the world. I don't like it, and I think there are much better alcoholic drinks, like ice wine. Also, I didn't know you could use beer to make food; I only knew about wine.

The angle of which we observe Ukano nomming on the meal is JUST TOO ADORABLE, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, SHO CUTE!!! :qq:
I wanna scream that on a mountainside every time I read a new chapter.
Also, I still love how the food is represented here, and man, a good pairing (food and drink) goes a long way for enjoyment~

One of the added bonuses of fermentation is it "pre-digests" food which unlocks or creates more nutrition. For example, fermenting some things can add vitamin C. For Bread if you long ferment the dough it changes the structure of the starch.
Beer is often made with malted grain where the grain is allowed to start sprouting before being roasted and fermented, malt is created in that brief moment during the sprouting and the yeast that breaks down starch into alcohol does not touch the malt allowing the malt taste to stay.
Then we find in ancient containers used to brew beer a mix of malted grains and other things, some are medicinal ingredients, some are hallucinogenic, and we later find the bitter herbal mix known as gruit being used for Ale. Hops ended up being introduced through Germany and the low countries, Ale was the English name and Beer was the Germanic name so Hop brew became Beer while Gruit brew was Ale. This later changed again when cold/warm brewing was a thing and gruit fell off.
Anyway, I got into fermenting vegetables some 5-10 years ago and people really do get cravings for fermented food, taught my mom how to ferment since that knowledge didn't really get passed on from the grand parents, she has her own vegetable garden and the fermentation really improves the variety of flavor while also extending the shelf life of her veggies.
For anyone curious you do need to make sure you have enough salt in the fermenting vessel since lacto bacteria that makes the acid can tolerate salt better than toxic molds giving time for the bacteria to make the vessel acidic enough to be preserved.
Beer brewing is more tricky since you are not adding salt, so keep the container sterile and add in the yeast or else you will get acid produced as well making the beer sour. :huh:

I personally don't like a lot of beers but in the summer, especially after a hard day's work, a good cold beer is divine.

Beer is a commoners drink, it can be made of grain and mass produced. Rich folk grew grapes and fruits which made wines and brandys but poor folk tending fields grew grains which beers where made from. It's become part of our pallets. The exception for this is sake as it's a grain wine.

Beer soups, beer cooked meats and batters that use beer are very common and bring depth much the same way wine does. Vodka and rum are also used in cooking.

I like Ice wine too. perhaps I should buy another bottle for my house… I don’t like beer either and don’t see the appeal. This happens in real life too, but I used to hate it when people say you don’t like it because you’re not old enough. No matter how old I was I still hated beer (those people were right when it came to wine and everything else though, but still).
