As an adult, I've always wondered why people have a problem eating things without a ton of seasoning. And I'm not talking about kids who're naturally picky because they've got more sensitive taste buds.
Don't know if this answers your question since I can eat bland food now as an adult. I just prefer food with a stronger flavour. Silken tofu is another example of something I didn't like as a kid due to it being bland but I like it now as an adult. It's a nice accompaniment to something stronger tasting like soup or sauce.

I'd still struggle a little with underseasoned chicken or pork though. They just don't taste like much to me without salt. But I can bear with it since I don't usually eat it on its own.

Well, salt generally isn't a taste of its own (unless you use a lot), but it brings out the natural taste. Fat does the same. This is why, for instance, commercial spice mixes often are almost entirely salt, and why there's so much of both in pre-fab meals. Quite a lot of restaurants add a bit extra, past what's healthy, as well to enhance the taste.

And I'm not talking about preferring stronger flavours; that's a natural consequence of taste buds getting weaker due to consumption of strong spices. It's when people think the natural taste is actively bad, which is worse than bland. Some things really don't taste much at all, like plain pasta, unless you add a little salt, but it's not like they have a bad taste.

Thank you for the explanation of the bone translation on the last page, that was quite interesting. It kind of makes sense Japanese would use the same word since bone and cartilage can serve the same function despite the physical differences.

That dish, Ikameshi, does the name directly translated to Delicious Squid? :unsure:
"Meshi" translates to "rice" (cooked). which makes a lot of sense as Ikameshi is squid stuffed with rice.

Meshi doesn't actually translate to delicious. "Delicious in Dungeon" took a few artistic liberties with the title translation - Dungeon Meshi more properly translates to "Dungeon Meals"

I know what you mean. I don't know how to describe it, but it's just like the natural flavour without enhancement tastes "bland" to me?
Funnily enough, I quite like the taste of plain pasta (over plain chicken/pork). It's much better with salt of course.

Serving shiokara is a bad idea. A lot of people who actually like squid steer clear of it.

Feels very fitting to have "Senshi" explain the meaning of "meshi".
