Snow frog fat is more known as snow jelly. It tastes good. Best consumed not as a luxury dessert, but as something similar to ice cream on a hot day.

Consuming the fat of fatty animals isn't exclusively Chinese. The older British consume jellied eels which is formed from the fat of eels.

But man. The author thinks a chef can afford a yacht.

I could never understand why the Brits want to ruin eels that way.

As for the yacht, the gourmet boom in 1980s Japan was very much a part of the "bubble economy" where real estate and stock prices were hugely inflated and it made a lot of people who hadn't been very rich. Part of the way those people flaunted their new wealth was in luxurious food and goods. You'll see a lot these rich people in this comic who fancy that they know everything about good food because they had so much access to it recently, but largely because their exposure to these sorts of foods was so recent, that usually allows Yamaoka to get one up on them because he's not nouveau riche and his education on food is so much more extensive.

Oh there's the other newspaper company. Haven't seen them around in a while. Can't wait to see when and why they started up the Supreme Menu project with Kaibara to rival Ultinate Menu

Yeah, I think this is the first time we've heard from Teito since all the way back in Volume 4, I think.

Tell that to Gordon Ramsay. The man is rich.
