Thank you so much for finishng this series off! I find it very charming. I love reading about cooking the most <3 IMO having it with chickpeas sounds good...
It does seem that while they're very much related, plov is distinct enough from pilaf to call them by the slightly different names. The Japanese version did write it out specifically as プロフ (purofu) rather than ピラフ (pirafu), so.
What a lovely series! And so informative, too! I adore all of them. It's been really fun learning about other cultures cuisine. Thank you all very much for transalating and sharing this manga with us. It's an amazing journey!!!
