DON'T go that way

BTW, did you notice that the chapter cot updated? There's a bonus page before the chapter itself now.

@duy0699kat i see you're a man of culture as well. or maybe a woman. i dunno.your profile name is too ambiguous

@Mogima you mean polyandry ?

@Mogima I mean that was my point. Still, tangent achieved. Moving on.

@wilddeath a monogamy would be...well...a monogamy. we already have word for it. or if you still wanna push it, a reversed harem.

@Mogima still wouldn't logically a reverse harem be monogamy?

Why do they have pepper and salt on hand if they don't know what seasoning is? Sigh.

The typesetter enjoyed himself way too much here... The title of the chapter is unreadable 😵

So they are gonna fight all-out with food?
Hopefully our ex-knight wins it, he deserves.

So because milk only comes from a coconut-like plant, they never made butter and cheese.

Googled coconut butter: puree coconut meat in a blender (probably what she's using).

Googled coconut cheese and found vegan cheese: plant milk, plant oil, yeast, salt, agar-agar and tapioca to adjust flavor and texture

@ForcedFun
I can agree on that with other series but this' whole premise is that the food is gross. The premise wouldn't make much sense if the royal chefs could make proper food since ALL the food is supposed to be gross, not just what commoners eat.
It's not that they're serving bad tasting stuff, it's that everyone thinks that's the good stuff because they never had any real good stuff.

About the butter and milk stuff...okay, that's retarded alright but not the worst offenders in manga. Not even by a long shot.

W-what? Why? What happened?? It was all going so well, then suddenly this.

@ForcedFun it is kind of stupid, but at least they don't act like Japanese food is the best thing ever like I've seen in some other manga. Plus, I don't really think that this counts as a jab to Europeans since most of the dishes she cooks are European.

Am I the only one who feels like these types of cooking series get ruined when they try to make it seem like Europeans are fucking retards? No butter, seriously? Not knowing you can put milk in soup? Thinking that the most skilled chefs in the country would serve a bad tasting dish to nobility? This shits just dumb, they should of stuck to the cafe angle.

"hurrdurr the royal chefs just throw pumpkins into salt water, boil it, and call it a meal" get the fuck out of here

Isn't this somewhat dangerous?
I mean, they are going to serve this dishes to the delegates of another country.
This dishes could incite an invasion.

rather than milk..
is more like coconut milk right???

@wilddeath tru dat.

but also, most if not all of the early day harem is made for men. with 1 emperor/king/pharaoh/shogun having many, many wives/concubine/lover.

in fact, according to dictionary, harem is :

1. (in former times) the separate part of a Muslim household reserved for wives, concubines, and female servants.
2. the women occupying a harem; the wives (or concubines) of a polygamous man.
3. a group of female animals sharing a single mate.

DEROGATORY
1. a group of women perceived as centring around a particular man.

so....... reverse-harem is the right word :)

You better not, dude. A knight serves the people, a cook serves them equally.

@HDMI1 I mean i know that's what the trope is called but honestly that phrasing has always bothered me. Whether it's made up of men or women a harem is still a harem, nothing reverse about it. Still you are right, a harem begins.
