ONE COULD BE THE KING OF ANOTHER WORLD
Volume 1 (Ch 3 Creating a Broadcast Program) Part 7
"Fried octopus skewers' are what you call them, I guess. Come on, try eating them. "I offer each one a skewer.
Liscia and Tomoe timidly carried them to their mouths. When they bite...
"What's this?! So delicious!"
"It's really .. so delicious, Brother."
Their eyes glared at how
good that.
Goody! I thought, give myself a mental thumbs up.
"It's very delicious. The octopus hidden inside the crispy dough was very interesting, "said Juna.
"A-It really! I didn't even know an octopus would go well with this Worcester sauce! "Seru Poncho's.
"This "white sauce goes well with octopus as well. Very good, Sire, "plus Juna.
"W-You can also cook, sir! It surprised me, yeah."
Juna and Poncho gave comments like professional food critics. Since the two of them had already eaten an octopus before, the two of them could take the time to enjoy it. Meanwhile, Aisha chews, chews, chews and produces a pile of empty skewers.
...There's nothing more I can say about that.
...****************...
"It's really delicious" the broadcast said
that's. "Wrapped outside in crispy dough, the octopus inside is very juicy."
"... Hey, Dad?" A child asked.
"Yes. If you want an octopus, many of them are stuck in our nets today, "the father replied.
"really?! I want to try it!"
"certain. Usually I throw it back, but let's try.
There seemed to be many conversations like this in the many villages by the sea.
"Our next piece is this.”
After we finish eating octopus skewers
being well received and returning to our seats, Poncho opened a new box in front of us. When we saw the thin brown material that was covered in dirt inside ...
"What is this..root?" Liscia.
"I think it's a root..." Juna added.
"They don't look so good... Are they really edible?" Tomoe asked doubtfully.
Liscia, Juna and Tomoe all acted as if they had question marks floating above their heads. Aisha and I, on the other hand, were not at all surprised.
"Oh, burdock root, huh?" I said.
"That's burdock root," A isha agreed.
Yes, I've heard burdock root is seen as something strange to eat in the West, so I don't find it strange that it's not eaten here, but Aisha, who looks like a Westerner, does, knowing about it surprised me..
"In the forest, we have to eat every thing Iyang can, otherwise we will succumb to malnutrition in a short time," said Aisha, staring into our distance.
Maybe it was the food situation that made her the hungry dark elf she is today.
"You can eat it. But instead of enjoying it for their own flavor, you enjoy the flavor of the broth they boil, or the texture. They are mostly dietary fiber, which you can't digest, but they have a medicinal effect and can help keep your bowel movements regular. They are good friends to those who are constipated."
I hope you won't talk about bowel movements and constipation when we eat," Liscia said.
"It helps remove waste products from the body. Of course, it is good for your health and beauty.
"Urkhs. When you say that, it sounds tempting, but..."
Well, now that Liscia is spoken to, can we eat? I figured.
This time, I made it simple. Subsequent to
cleaning the dirt using the back of the knife, I cut the burdock into long, thin shavings, coated it with potato flour, and put it in the oil pan we had used before. Once properly fried, I took it out of the pot and divided it into two bowls. One of them, I sprinkle salt, while the other I sprinkle with sugar. With it, burdock chips (potato chips style and rusk style) are complete.
Everyone reacts after eating it...
"Huh, they are crunchy and delicious," said Liscia.
"It might go well with beer" Poncho said.
Liscia and Poncho chewed on the salty like a snack.
"The oil that comes out when you bite it melts the sugar, and the sweetness spreads throughout your mouth" Juna said.
"I'm sure I want to let my mom try it" Tomoe said.
Juna and Tomoe, who are eating that with sugar, give decent commentary full points as a food critic and a child.
As for Aisha...
"If you eat it together, it's salty-sweet and delicious! "He announced, chewing both.
Yeah, sure, I guess it's okay to eat it too.
The next ingredients that can be eaten are red bear feet (bear paw), tiger sword liver (tiger liver), and whole cooked salamandra (cooked giant salamander), which is cooked), but we only introduced him so far.
It is true that they are not commonly eaten in this country, but a rare delicacy that only an adventurer can find is not something I want people to go out of their way to get. If they happily take it, I just want them to know to eat it, not to throw it away. Besides, even I don't know how to prepare a bear's claws.
Ah, by the way, at the ingredient selection stage I removed blowfish, poisonous mushroo, and anything toxic from the list. I know they can be eaten if prepared properly, but if starving-stricken amateurs will try their hand at them, obviously it will only end badly.
Your mind, even the poisonous parts can be eaten if you really want them. In Ishikawa Prefecture, there are "shelter egg blowfish made with rice bran paste," and in Nagano Prefecture, there are areas where they feed on the notoriously poisonous Amanita mushroom fly.
... Human appetite must be something, huh?
Getting back to the story, the next ingredient surprises us all.
"This here is our next ingredient yes, yes.
"I-It...
This time, all of our eyes were wide open.
Inside the box Poncho opened, there was a bluish gelatinous object.
"That's .. gelin, right?" My toot.
It was one of the soft-bodied slime creatures that could be found in the fields everywhere. They look and act like enemies of RPGs. Their main characteristic is how weak they are. If you cut them, they'll die. If you destroy them, they will die too. They attach themselves to living (or dead) creatures and suck nutrients from them. There is no male or female: they are multiplied by division. They are probably what you would get if you had an amoeba or other single-celled organism that grew to gigantic size.
