Alright, now this is getting interesting. He may have left his abusive boss, but now he has to deal with his inner demons before he can achieve the life he so much wants, and no matter how OP he is, that is something his immense magical powers cannot do for him.

That's actually pretty good writing!

Damn my man, I'll use your comment when I want to cook the dish xDD
But one moment, don't forget that they ate the pot at the orphanage, and as the demon bi**ch said, it was very simple and most likely was similar to curry.. without curry powder
I didn't forget that they ate the pot at the orphanage, actually! The spices/herbs used are traditionally available picked out in the countryside, so easily available to the poor. Similarly, the vegetables are commonly grown in gardens as core food crops, but also commonly found in the wild, as well. Lastly, as I did mention, sausage is considered the "least" of the meats that are traditional to it, and sausages were often sold much cheaper than full cuts of meat, since they were the leavings and scraps, wrapped up in intestine and salted and/or smoked to cure them. When going for a protein source that also will provide the most oomph per pound per dollar (or equivalent), sausage would be the go-to, because of it having such a strong flavour, as I noted. Using less of it (his story implies that there were so few sausages used that they could not all have some meat with their bowls) would give a strong flavour, but it'd still be diluted into the stew, which would allow for the sausage flavours to mingle with the vegetables' much more harmoniously.

Pot-au-feu IS simple, when you get down to brass tacks and are making it with the ingredients on hand. That's why I said, "If you omit all the specific ingredients and preparations, then sure, you just dump meat and veg in a pot and boil it". The ingredients, however, make the dish. Regional variants that add other vegetables either due to different tastes or lack of an ingredient locally or a surplus of another are a thing, but again, I also mentioned those. :p

Ofc the guy is gonna be an annoying fuck.
Man, I hope MC gets over Ruby's indoctrination sooner rather than later. Oh, and hope Ruby gets raped by goblins or something as bad. She only deserves the worst of fates, like being a monster's cum dump or something.

Thanks for the TL
Nah, see she's never gathered her own mats before so she's set to go on a downward spiral and around the time he starts to get his shit together she'll find hum he'll regress but eventually stand strong and tell her to fuck off. Just because it's not an original story doesn't mean it can't be interesting.

If you omit all the specific ingredients and preparations, then sure, you just dump meat and veg in a pot and boil it, but pot-au-feu is actually quite a bit more prep and more specific ingredients than that. Specifically, for it to be the base pot-au-feu (there are many regional variants), it must contain one of the following meat items:
beef; pork; chicken; sausage.
and these vegetables:
carrot; turnip; onion; leek.
There are some regional variances, but those are the core vegetables. The turnip is usually added later, cooked in the broth (which is strained before adding the turnips) resulting from the meat and the other vegetables being braised together until the meat is tender.

All cuts of meat are preferentially paired with beef or pork bone, as appropriate to the meat or meats used; the best (and most traditional) options would be something like a beef silverside (also known as an outside or bottom round, or rump roast) alongside some thick farmer's-cut bacon, and a long pair of cow shin halves, marrow remaining. The bone gives a depth to the boullion, and also the marrow can be scooped out afterwards to be spread on bread, served alongside the broth; it really is a lacking pot-au-feu without some bones. Chicken is closer to a peasant's iteration of the dish (and there's nothing wrong with that), but lacks some of the depth, even when combined with other meats. Sausage is the 'least' of the meats, simply because it's generally second-hand cuts that have been ground up and stuffed into casing (usually with various herbs, spices, and heavily salt-cured and/or smoked), which means you don't get that fresh meaty flavour, but it can add its own breadth of flavour to the dish as well; just much harder to balance it against the much lighter vegetals.

Lastly, the spices traditionally used are parsley, thyme, and bay (no rosemary or sage, though you could use them if you feel like it, as they are complementary). In France, the broth is dished out separately from the vegetables and meat, to be enjoyed almost like a heartier consomme, and the vegetables and meat eaten together, boiled to soft tenderness but not to mushiness.

If any of this sounds familiar but with an asian bent to it, that'd be because Pho is actually derived from Pot-au-Feu.
takes notes savagely
