[AsYouPrefer]

Commenting here 'cause I want to see yuri real bad... Just seeing those two sisters... and I want a threesome to happen.

 

[Manga_boiiiii]

Food Wars anyone?

 

[Tofsla]

Not turning Lily into her plaything by using food is a big missed opportunity tbh

 

[elemhunter]

Seven Seas' release isn't censored, which makes me think it's the scanlation group that's censoring this.

 

[The5thSeraph]

Chicken is not food. Chicken-Like Monsters probably aren't food either.
Bad protag.

 

[Shinigami_Death]

I'm having Shokugeki no Souma (food wars) flashbacks 💀

WTH is the author thinking with this world. For a world based on medieval Europe, it isn't medieval at all.

• They don't have sandwiches.
They had sandwiches, of course! Putting things in or on top of bread is literally an ancient idea! They didn't eat them as much because they had less things to put on the sandwich; both chocolate and peanuts come from the New World, and leaf vegetables weren't yet cultivated and pest-guarded enough to safely eat them raw. If you only have a little meat, you'd also want to eat the bone, hence you'd make a broth instead.

• Eggs are expensive.
Chicken were widespread, so eggs are much cheaper than actual meat.

• They don't know deep-frying.
Deep-frying only became mainstream across Europe when the potato was introduced from the New World, e.g. as fish&chips in the UK. But large parts of Europe were already familiar with deep-frying fish, and a Roman cookbook describes deep-fried chicken in a white sauce. Of course that idea didn't disappear with the fall of the Roman Empire. (And the Ottomans liked fried cheese.) The Japanese literally learned tempura from late-medieval Portuguese.

• They don't have noodles.
Pasta originates from the Eastern Mediterranean, but indeed didn't really spread to and within Europe. They had the ingredients and cultural contact, so presumably pasta simply was too much or too heavy work. It only started to spread when pasta-making machines were introduced. I guess rhe chef might not know the amount of effort involved and might therefore be interested, but he would give up quickly.

/rant, but very tired of authors who don't know anything about medieval Europe and assume their modern (often Japanese) cuisine would spread quickly. It wouldn't; the limit has always been work, ingredients and pesticide, not creativity.

EDIT: Next chapter has potato's and she uses bamboo. She might have created the latter, but bloody potato's‽ And they have no frying culture‽‽

It's another world so I don't think it's gonna be a 1:1 replica of medieval earth :V

I want to be violated by flavor.

You aren't wrong.

Honestly I think it goes a lot deeper than that. Modern people profoundly underestimate ancient people in the most absurd ways. Ancient people were just as intelligent and creative as modern people. Largely there are compelling reasons why their civilizations were organized the way they were economically and otherwise. Most modern people wouldn't even have the basic skills and common sense necessary to survive in those eras. Let alone revolutionize anything.

Hence the magic. That way our MC's don't just get rolled. A realistic story would suck.

This discussion reminds me of a thread on tumblr discussing how you might go about doing basic chemistry and manufacturing penicillin in like the 1500-1700s in various regions.

Its not impossible but it isn't easy and requires knowledge and prep that most people wouldn't be able to do on their own. The thread pinned down the earliest date all the resources you'd need could be traded for but I don't recall when it was.

So it's not penicillin, but there was an interesting finding about witches brews.

They followed the recipe in a witches spell book, got an authentic copper cauldron and everything. Turns out it made antibiotics.

Now, it's not going to march the purity and potency of modern medicine, and these "witches" didn't understand microbiology. But they were able to make medicine that had antibiotics in them. Every part of the process mattered for making the medicine especially the copper cauldron.

I legitimately revere human creativity and ingenuity.

That's fantastic! Its really interesting that the researchers note specifically that its the combination that yields a usable treatment. None of the ingredients on their own is potent enough. AND you need the waiting time.

Honestly I'm very tempted to replicate this experiment myself and do some of the follow up work.

Thank you for sharing this info
