Isekai Izakaya "Nobu" - Ch. 122 - The Perfect Lunch

[MangaDex]

The perfect lunch: "Eating the food you want, when you want it, with the people you like."

With the mention of perfection used so generously, I could say it applies to this whole chapter too. Seeing the handsome secretary again made this chapter a bit more fulfilling for me, the end panel being a cherry on top.

I can confidently say, this truly was a chapter complète. Thank you for the translation

So have we seen the old lady before? I honestly don't remember.

Oh shit, galette complète oeuf miroir*, the chef knows what's up. Truly one of the best, in spite of being nearly as simple as it can be. For precision, it's quite unlike sweet galettes, since sweet galettes are usually with something more like puff pastry, including the more common in France (especially in early January) galette des rois which is basically puff pastry filled with frangipane, an almond-based sweets filling.
It's more of a dish from Brittany, where galettes are very much common. They're pretty much crepes, except simpler. Pretty much just buckwheat flour and water (some salt for taste, and some add an egg for color, but never did that). There's also some parts of Brittany (I think south and west) which claim that buckwheat galettes and crepes co-exist and that akchually galettes are thicker, but that seems to not gbe acknowledged by the majority, and possibly is a very local differenciation that isn't widely shared.
Anyway, the most two famous ways to eat a galette would be the complète as shown here, or the simpler but kinda more filling galette saucisse, which as its name imply, is just a galette wrapped around a sausage.

*Oeuf miroir (mirroregg) means sunny-side up. Other common way to ask for the egg would be oeuf brouillé, literally scrambled eggs. It cooks faster and you can close the galette and flip it for cooking both sides.

The galette reminds me of a croque monsieur...

The old lady’s shoes looks similar to what ponytail lady’s wearing.

I mean yeah, this series loves to foreshadow connections with other characters a chapter or two before proper introduction. If the pattern continues as is, the old lady is Eleonora's mother

I mean, they're foreshadowing it so hard they could call it fiveshadowing

Chef Ludwig working a shift at Nobu's is a bit problematic. I am pretty sure he has not seen a gas range, and would have questions about such a convenient cooktop. Remember when we first saw Eva? She hoped to steal a faucet in order to have a source of clean water.

It is amazing to think on how connected our homes and workplaces are to the vital infrastructure of our cities. In a city of an earlier era, water, light, heat, and fuel were discontinuous; each being hauled in as barrels, bundles of candles, heaps of coal, etc.

"Complète" doesn't really mean "perfect". It means "whole", "without anything missing".

Remember that they are under a weird blessing that makes a lot of the people not really question things about them or the restaurant itself.
Eva herself is an anomaly as she noticed that things were a bit off, by noticing the water faucet and the sort.
And then the rest of the employees know that the restaurant is connected to another world now too, but it seems the blessing only extends up to them.

No but Eleonora mentioned about her mother, the previous leader, once, so probably that's her. Maybe.

Man I love this pairing they are so kewtt

"Complète" doesn't really mean "perfect". It means "whole", "without anything missing".

Well Ackchyually, it can, and even the other way around, too


Words meanings have changed alot over time, and some might use them differently than others.
Heck there is a whole study field in it for those who want to go deeper than one should

The word "Perfect" is a fun example of this, as it does not always have to mean "flawless" as most people use it today.
(Another fun example is gay, but we don't need to get into that one.. if you know you know )

"Perfect" (like alot of english words ) comes from Latin.
It originally meant something similar to " well done " in Latin.

-per meaning ("very/thoroughly/completely" ) and -fect meaning (make/do/finish )
So "perfect" can therefore also just mean "completed" or " very well-made/done" etc.

But then again, Words' only meaning is to convince another of what you are trying to tell them.
So you can make up shit, and as long as enough people agree with you, it becomes the truth.
