[eatgoddamnshit]

can you do the first chapter

 

[Say]

@eatgoddamnshit we'll think about it. But since it is already translated by another group you can read that for the time being.

This series is going to give birth to a lot of dank meemees.

Cant really be mad at him now can we? The elves have been eating shit food throughout their entire history, and they finally have a delicious meal for once in their lives.

i like how the chief gave her a vote instead of the classic unilateral decision making

Well, i don't think i will be reading this one, it may become better later on but with these chapters, i only feel that this is some generic isekai power fantasy but only with food instead of magic.

All the props the author puts in this elven society serve for nothing they are just things that are there, how a people that have this level of culture with complex clothes and metalwork don't have a developed way of cuisine, it is ridiculous, they are just another bunch of dumb elves that just exists to make the MC look cool.

I am sorry if i am taking from the pleasure of reading this but i don't have in me to see something i like so much like cooking having this lazy treatment in writing and stay silent, i won't write anything anymore even if i read more chapters.

Woah, another chapter so soon? You're fast as lightning! Thanks!

About the chapter - I reckon having only one dish on her repertoire would get dull after a while.. but then if it really gets dull they can partake of a "traditional" meal for a change. XD

(Also, she's learned to pay attention to cooking. And his other skills will probably start leaking out as well, so in a couple of years she'd probably learn to at least make another version of it.)
(On the other hand - poor people in poor nations do indeed only have basically one dish to eat, once per day, seven days a week, so it ain't odd if she doesn't get any further.)

Looks like our Popo and Pepe will be safe from marriage for a while.

THAAAANKS FOR PICKING THIS UP!!!!!

 

[Salfaro]

Thanks for translating this, super cute.

 

[Tainters]

Mother of God it lives! Thank you for the translations and picking it up. But of a back log on it too.

 

[hullmat991]

Thanks for picking this up!

Honestly find the four panel of his failures at the end of this chapter super ironic. You just had a chapter about a character that was really good at one thing and got depressed at not being good at another thing. MC goes out of his way to explain you can just learn the thing you don't know how to do...

Trying once to do something and failing is not learning to do something. Why doesn't he take his own advice and have someone teach him to do the things he can't?

 

[JJTheWeeb]

@Mojo, i think it's more of, this is his starting abilities. Because right now all he can do is cook (which is important cause of their society), he wasn't immidiately killed for being useless. Now as for if he will ever teach himself other things, I won't say it's impossible.

Yeah, it's bugging me too how a tribe with a rather developed culture has made zero headway in the culinary arts that the word "delicious" isn't even part of their vocabulary.

But it isn't really anything new. A bunch of other isekais have the protagonist make modern cuisine, especially of the Japanese sort, which is treated like ambrosia by the isekai world's denizens, and instantly above and beyond any food they can make.

I can only wish they were less masturbatory. Making the other side very interested in unique cuisine they've never encountered before is interesting and a natural reaction, but much less so when the characters that introduces it to them, along with the food as well, start being treated as divine.

It would be perfectly fine if the elves were amazed by the protagonist's cuisine by sheer virtue of how different it is. Hell, they could also be interested by some of his modern techniques in cooking and preparing meals. But to make them have zero culinary knowledge and ability is just taking it too far.
