Someday I hope to see an isekai where the END goal is to create soy sauce, not beat the demon king etc.

Better yet, the Demon Lord is sitting on the recipe for making soy sauce. His castle also has a bath.

Vandalieu is the dark lord with all the best condiments, thanks to a decade of research involving multiversal scrying and weaponized necromancy. He takes the quality of life in his dominion very seriously.

@Invader_Retro
BTW, why did you guys changed Lime into Raimu?

 

[Nk9bjP4A]

I don't understand. How does being a knight with higher than average strength, but then a woman, have anything to do with having problems opening a jar?

 

[Invader_Retro]

@HYBRID_BEING Different TL lost a good amount of TL recently 😅

 

[xfaca]

Ohh, this isn't dead? Nice!
@panneqaha I agree, extra surprising given how isetrash this has been so far.
As for familiar foods, the hardest thing for me when I tried keto was giving up toast and bread in general, I would have never lasted if I hadn't found a decent analogue.

 

[Wolvenworks]

So uh why is it raimu instead of lime?

 

[Liquidxlax]

Yeah, squeeze the threads... that will make it easier to open. That was a pretty sexist joke considering she is not only the top knight of her ex-country but has taken in a lot of Youji. She should most likely have had his result trying to open the jar. The proper method is to leave the jar on the counter with one hand holding the jar still and then use your other hand and press down on the lid with the palm of your hand and lightly grip the sides, but don't squeeze the threads (you shouldn't even have to grip the sides, your palm is enough most of the time). Now while pushing down turn the lid off.

@Liquidxlax

Wait, it works that way?

Out of everyone I have ever met, only a few would probably know about this too..

 

[Winchan]

People are arguing so much.. geez, this is not work, chill out for a second.

 

[Liquidxlax]

@Winchan yeah you can kind of think of it as a bolt in a blind hole and over tightening of the lid or a pressured container. You're just creating far more friction when you squeeze the threads. Pushing down with your palm is a way to counter act the compressed gas in the container. I mean if the container is small enough sometimes the oil filter wrench method (The one that uses a strap or a chain) more uniform pressure compared to five finger tips

 

[Winchan]

@Liquidxlax

Some incredibly useful information, I often use cloth to increase friction between my hands and the lid (to exert more force); which is still incredibly hard, much to my amusement. Probably didn't even bother searching about easier methods when I get the job done but thanks.

 

[Liquidxlax]

@Winchan yeah cloth is a good method too. Silicone rubber is another great one too as it sticks to wet or dry hands, metal, plastic, glass... basically everything. There is a "product" where they sell a hand sized square that is 1/8 inch thick of silicone rubber for the sole purpose of giving you more grip on containers or what have you. I think I've even seen gloves with silicone rubber on them as another product. The only reason I know or think of shit like this is because somedays my disease makes me to weak to do some of the most trivial of things so I need to think of the most efficient methods to do things within what little power I have at hand.

 

[Glomoro]

@Liquidxlax For some reason, we have this jar opener in our kitchen that sits on the counter, going unused while someone is literally inches away from it, struggling to open something. I've pointed this out several times to varying results of "I forgot about that thing" or "...Shut up." It isn't this model, but looks like it works about the same.

Spoiler

If you're saying that you actually have good reason to have trouble in this arena, but still manage with just pressing down on the top of lids with more general use household items at most most of the time like a cloth, I feel like this thing is even more of a useless product for our kitchen than I already did being the witness to this chucklefuckery several times. Well, I suppose since it's adjustable to fit basically any of these types of lids (I think it can even clamp down around stuff as small as a soda bottle cap) it's at least better than some of the overly specific kitchen utensils people have brought into the house before, if I could just get them to remember it's right there in plain view. Watching someone beat the shit out of a spaghetti sauce lid with a butter knife to "loosen it" while this thing is within reach is pretty depressing, somehow. Like existential, fate of the human race stuff.

Idiotic food chapter... Noooooooooooooooooooooooo. -1 to rating instantly.

 

[Valshir]

I had a feeling about this but I guess the super human physical and magical strength do nothing for his brain. Maybe it even weakened his.

 

[Cisco55987]

Even if it’s real soy sauce that shit is gross! Why don’t they ever have something good like taco Tuesday!

 

[redpandamaniacal]

This disrespect to fish sauce is infuriating.


Some cultural information though would be that it's not uncommon for Japanese people to see portable Japanese food as a travel necessity when going abroad. That is, to go to some other country, but still drink miso soup and whatnot while there. If you check out sites for traveling stuff and whatnot, they say things like, "before you start missing Japanese food, hid away some of this stuff in your suitcase" and whatnot.

That quote being from this site specifically.

In other words, it's very Japanese indeed to be like, "I need my soy sauce and rice, ew, everything here is no good."

fish sauce > soy sauce

 

[GingerWeeb420]

Why did the change ria and limes names?
