Anorexia sufferers do not truly dislike food.
Because they have already lost their genuine love and dislike for food; it is merely a situational explanation of their behavior.
Sometimes.
Seeing food is like seeing an ordinary item.
It's as if it's not meant to be eaten, but merely looked at.
Sometimes, seeing food can even cause a feeling of revulsion, nausea, and a complete lack of appetite.
Just like Erina and Nagiri Mana, they are always unable to coexist harmoniously with food.
However, that urgent desire to taste cuisine, yet fearing food, often leads them to be overly obsessive about one thing, even pursuing perfection.
Therefore, in Sosuke's eyes.
Erina's disdain for commoner cuisine is completely understandable.
He can go to roadside food stalls and eat cheap, ordinary foods like grilled meat skewers, takoyaki, and so on!
However, Erina cannot; she is unable to casually taste those commoner dishes like Sosuke can.
The reason for this might be the extreme education she received from Nakiri Azami during her childhood.
But more importantly, it's because her God Tongue cannot find these ordinary foods interesting.
Furthermore, the vomiting reaction her body produces simply by tasting these dishes only exacerbates her aversion to them!
In many people's eyes.
Erina's scorn for commoner cuisine.
It is simply a display of petulance, willfulness, and arrogance.
But only by truly understanding the God Tongue, by truly understanding anorexia, can one comprehend that everything behind this has a pitiable reason!
...
Of course, like Erina.
Nagiri Mana, who also possesses the God Tongue, can also appear particularly obsessive and extreme in certain aspects.
She once believed that all food in this world was inherently sinful, all of it evil.
Before, she used to walk straight into cake shops.
But then one day, she discovered that even the foods she liked, she no longer wanted to eat!
At that time, even though she realized the seriousness of the problem and began to force herself to eat, it was ultimately futile.
Those nauseating meals, with just a tiny bite, would crawl into her throat like countless small insects, slowly invading her empty stomach and her increasingly thin body!
So gradually, Mana developed nothing but disgust for ordinary food.
She began frantically searching for dishes that could make her God Tongue find delicious.
But she searched and searched, and eventually, there was no dish in this world that could completely satisfy her!
Therefore, she was very clear in her heart that after Sosuke's Comet Fried Rice appeared and successfully conquered her, her mindset would only become more obsessive.
Because she would become heavily reliant on Sosuke, and love the cuisine he made.
Perhaps one day in the future, if she couldn't taste the cuisine he made, she would be in unbearable pain, feeling even worse than death!
In other words, however much she disliked cuisine in the past.
From this moment on, that's how much she would depend on Sosuke.
...
"Don't worry."
"Besides Comet Fried Rice."
"I believe there will definitely be many more dishes in the future that will satisfy your God Tongue."
"If you feel hungry, you can come to the Izakaya anytime, and I will prove to you with my actions."
"In this world, there is no other chef who can completely conquer the God Tongue besides me!"
Noticing Mana's worry, Sosuke merely smiled faintly and replied firmly.
Upon hearing these strong and forceful words, Nagiri Mana's delicate body trembled, and she gazed at him with shining eyes, feeling a strange sense of emotion in her heart.
"Alright, then I'll look forward to it."
"Let's see how far your cuisine can go under the influence of the God Tongue?"
With that, she turned and left the Izakaya.
Seeing this, Annie was a bit bewildered.
However, she didn't think much of it. After asking for the price of the Comet Fried Rice, she quickly paid the bill.
Then she hurried with anxious steps, following behind Mana as they left the Izakaya together.
Finally.
As the two left.
This Izakaya, which had extended its business hours, finally closed!
...
"Ding dong."
"Successfully signed in once."
"Ding dong."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new special recipe: Live Ice Sea Bream Mountain!"
"Hmm?"
"It's actually this dish?"
Upon hearing the sign-in reward given by the system.
It was another dish from cooking master boy, and it was even Live Ice Sea Bream Mountain, which is the opposite of Reincarnation Spring Roll. Sosuke couldn't help but be stunned!
Live Ice Sea Bream Mountain, as the name suggests, involves attaching very, very thinly sliced tai snapper fillets to ice.
In the original plot, Leon also used a Hokushin Tenro Ice Blade, using the coldness of this ice knife to fully bring out the flavor of the sea bream, and the visual effect of the scene was quite shocking!
If the previous Reincarnation Spring Roll was an extremely hot dish.
Then, this Live Ice Sea Bream Mountain is an extremely cold dish.
This hot and cold, this cooked and raw, truly pushed two opposite realms to the extreme!
Therefore, to some extent, the deliciousness of Live Ice Sea Bream Mountain can definitely rival that of Reincarnation Spring Roll.
And being able to obtain this recipe, Sosuke was naturally a little excited.
But thinking that he still had to attend Sonoka's reception for Kakizaki Taki at Spring Fruit Pavilion early tomorrow morning.
He quickly put away his smile, then washed up, and immediately went to sleep.
At this point, the Izakaya was silent!
...
Morning.
In a laboratory-like kitchen at Totsuki Academy.
Alice Nakiri began to prepare Molecular Cuisine.
She first separated the flesh and leaves of the strawberries, removed the leaves, diced the fruit, added fine granulated sugar and stirred to make strawberry jam.
Then, she blanched the leaves, added a strawberry-flavored cream liqueur, sprinkled powdered sugar, cooled, and dried them.
Next, she sliced the fruit and placed it in a vacuum bag, heated it for 10 minutes, then put it into a blender, successively adding milk, light cream, condensed milk, and softened gelatin sheets, blending until smooth, then straining and cooling.
She poured it into a siphon bottle, filled it with compressed nitrous oxide, pressurized it, and foamed it.
After shaking it well, she dispensed it into a Dewar flask containing liquid nitrogen, obtaining extremely fluffy strawberry ice cream.
Finally, she blended it until smooth, strained it, and cooled it with ice water.
Then she added ingredients and food coloring, poured strawberry powder into it and stirred, and immediately saw the strawberry flesh, like syrup, gradually solidify into a paste after the moisture dried.
Following that.
She took out a small piece of the syrup.
She blew it into the shape of a strawberry like blown candy, then used scissors to cut long strips into small pieces, and melted them under a food warming lamp.
Last but not least, she used a glass-blowing method to create strawberry shells, completing the assembly.
Thus, individual fake strawberries made from real strawberries were completed!
