@dyuinco
Its sounds like this adaptation is getting rushed, is there like some major event that the artist wants to get to?

 

[Harouki]

@CraniumAmbiguity
I know.

The townspeople ever ate Gibba. They eat other animals that they know to bloodlet. The Gibba were simply too dangerous to hunt in large numbers if you weren’t a tribesman so the only time they would get to eat Gibba would probably be when they ate some jerky from the hunters.

I remember reading something in the LN with the Grandma Luu saying that if they had built up relations with the town, their way of life may have bee easier

 

[Northern]

"The tribesman migrated from a different land where they subsided on roots, fruits and lizards"

All animals killed for food by humans are bled. Chickens, guinea pigs, snakes and even lizards are bled. The Aboriginal Martu people of Western Australia hunt goanna (monitor lizards) with fire and spears, but they still slit their throats to bleed them once killed.

The only way they wouldn't know to bleed them, is if everyone else in their world were obligate vegetarians, and they had only started hunting Giba very recently.
Even if they had been hunting Giba for five years, they would've noticed that the ones who died from massive blood loss would taste better than those that died from blunt force trauma.

 

[Ironclad]

He better not make curry.

@Northern I pointed that out when it first came up. It's your typical, make everyone else impossibly incompetent to make your self-insert shine. There's also the weird pride they have as Giba hunters even though they've only been doing it for like 2 generations and some of them were alive when they were banished.

They're proud and stupid at the same time.

 

[Glomoro]

@Northern @Ironclad It's not about them being incompetent. They quickly developed a culture here of only doing what was strictly necessary. Did you forget all the crap Ai Fa said in the first couple chapters? These people didn't care how it tasted, they just wanted sustenance. It's still a poor excuse for not doing something that's not really adding that much time and effort compared to the end results of each way of doing it, but that's the excuse right there. They stopped caring how it tasted because they all sucked at cooking anyway.

 

[Ironclad]

@Glomoro All of there food would spoil immediately if they don't drain the carcass. This isn't a matter of pragmatism, it's a necessity.

 

[Glomoro]

@Ironclad Look, I'm not saying this story is well written on this subject in any way. What I am saying is the excuse that was given. It's "another world," and they're using substances unknown to us to preserve the meat alongside the salt that might not even be exactly the same as our salt. If there's a problem with storing meats that still contain that much blood in our world, it's the author's fault more than the characters for not presenting that well here. You can't really write people to be smarter than yourself or who know things you don't know yourself without way more work than any of them really put into the web novels that end up adapted into light novels that then get adapted into this, which is like a game of "telephone" by the time we see the end product here too so who knows what all was missing along the way. Since blood is actually consumed in various ways, the author may not have had any idea it can cause problems with stored foods.

@boag there is since this is future info I will treat as spoiler :sweat:

Spoiler

In the last volume they start doing business in the "city of stone" and selling pseudo-giba-burguers, They start to deal with the Sun clan corruption and Vina Ruu gets to leave the forest a little to help him in the shop.
Also by teaching the dissection and bloodletting the people of the forest started to have a surplus of meat, that meat will probably go to Asutas business and other families won't starve anymore, they
actually don't know now what to do with soo much meat.

That will be probably be the next manga arc, they will meet a skinny guy that is said to be stronger than most of the people of the forest (kamui I guess was the name)
He gets interested in how Asuta got to be recognized by the People of the forest and also by his food.

I am subscribed in the pre-sale of the next volume but everything is sending this to the direction where his food will become famous and will probably help decide on the future of the Ruu X Sun clan fight.
They might give us more info about the Sun clan since right now the only thing we know is that they are as powerfull as the Ruu clan and that they are the ones that receive the money from the Lord to keep the Gibas under control and they do not distribute that money, they became corrupt. But that's too superficial.

 

[Ashisu]

He's being such a gayboi, what's the point of walking up just to get smacked lol

 

[DatOneGuy]

Somehow the ara-ara oneesan has lost her ara-ara? Hahaha

 

[definitionofinsanity]

Hominids have been bleeding their kills since at least H. heidelbergensis, that's 700,000 years.
Why do these guys who are chalcolithic at the earliest, not know how to do it?

Worse yet? They just eat the hind legs and throw away tons of meat. These giba are hog-like creatures. There's gotta be at least 50 pounds of meat on most of them given the size we see. And they just eat the fucking hind legs and throw away the rest.

Meanwhile, trying to utilize every part of the animal because you don't know 1.) If you'll be able to find another animal and hunt it and 2.) Because utilizing the entire animal means you have to hunt less is just... common fucking sense. Literal fucking cavemen were doing this.

I mean, all it would take is for one forest person that isn't a brain-dead moron going, "Y'know, all we eat are the hind legs on these things. If we ate all of the meat we could get by on hunting less, which is good since hunting them is dangerous." Then again, given this culture, they probably immediately stoned him to death for heresy or something.

(Also, I said it before but I'll say it again. I get a kick out of their batshit insane reasoning. Their custom, to the point of basically being a law, is that "we may eat only giba and what the giba eats." Okay. Going by that logic, what happens if a giba kills a human? Giba is going to eat it. By that logic, cannibalism is a-okay. Since, y'know, the giba eat humans.)

 

[definitionofinsanity]

@Harouki In this story the Gibba is a pest because it is dangerous to hunt and the meat taste bad. This is why the clan is allowed to hunt and eat them (and none of the other proper vegetation). The MC introduced bloodletting and proper butchering/cooking to make Gibba meat taste good. If the Gibba was a delicacy to the towns ppl then "Gibba eater" would not be slander. Therefor, in this universe, bloodletting is not even known to the towns ppl.

I think that's a bit of a stretch to come to a conclusion to. I'd be very, very surprised if the townspeople didn't know about blood letting and butchering. After all, Ai Fa and Asuta ate pork buns in town and Asuta thought they tasted good, but not as good as his cooking. He wouldn't have said that if the meat wasn't butchered properly.

And it's not like referring to people by the food they stereotypically eat is something unique to this isekai world. The Irish were routinely discriminated against by monikers like "Potato Eaters". It had nothing to do with them being bad at making potato dishes, it was just looked down upon as peasant food. Same goes here. It's not that the townspeople don't know about blood letting. They do. They just find eating giba to be beneath them and use it to express contempt against the forest people because they don't like them either. Just like how if a culture of people mainly ate rats, some people would think that's dirty and disgusting and likely would call them "rat eaters." It's seen as a dirty and disgusting animal, like the giba. So they'd figure anyone that eats them is also dirty and disgusting.
