The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter

[kavaris]

Yous know my knowledge of Anime past the year 1995 is very weak, so i just started watching The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter... And i read the summary and im tryina understand wat im getting into here, as it sounds interesting but i dont get what its about... i see "books" in the title, but then i read bout the main char slipping into another world originally to save a girl... and the whole fantasy kingdom setting, but what was the book thing? And why did the main char start out saying hes gonna be like the group cook, or is that just like "ill worry bout making food on the journey", and not like "my profession is cook"

p.s wow im learnin bout cooking from this show, as i didnt know scallion ginger sauce til now... i thought i always seen little bits of garlic but maybe it is ginger... hopefully it teaches me wtf that super savory like chickeny/oystery sauce flavor is, as ive spent a long time of not understanding wat it is...

Jamaican cooking is part of the mystery school

Speaking of beans, i wrote up this little jokey/rant — A midnight rant on cooking. It may come off critical, but ya gotta keep reading. i think it will fully cover all the moral stops and jenga and watknot, such that its not so bad.
... If you rewind the clock, there were alot of passionate mothers cooking food, And naturally we have lost alot of that passion and knowledge. Its just not a priority like it once was, and as a result, you have this new hierarchy / situation ill be revealing.

...
To start w/ I wouldve said the Italian mother's really understood how to distill that affectation of the split components, such that you had that smooth, glossy affectation on one side... the dedicated entree (meat, vegetable, etc.) on the other, however most of those gransmas died w/ their recipes!...

So then we go to the middle east, where everything is a little more rough and tumble, like you get more rough, grainy textures, less attention to affectation. Then we go back around to Georgia, Russia/Ukraine and those kinds of places...

And thats where affectation starts to return a little, only made prominent once we arrive in Chinese/Japanese places, where plenty of knowledgable cooking alchemists are striving.

The last stop is Jamaica, where good cooking is almost a requirement, and to me thats the last stop here, because everywhere else doesnt capture wat im tryina express, so much as they have like, signature street/fast foods, which do not fit in this criteria.

It has to be more like an affectational meal, if you know what i mean by that... Like it cant be grainy textures nd watknot 😆 It has to be like, the affectational meal made for people who have Crohns disease, like... Iuno its hard to explain.

The only reason the middle east doesnt meet the full A+ criteria is because of traditions and dryness lvl (tell me im wrong, bet...). When people marry themselves to traditions, they miss out on that extra, extra love and innovation. Besides for that, middle eastern families are incredible cooks w/ highly prized recipes w/ alot of potential to investigate.
As far as Greek food, to me Greeks (Ancient Greeks) are better at explaining what NOT to eat... to avoid a Crohns attack. Most families assume you should just consume, consume, consume, but to me, Greece is the only place that was like "We dont eat beans" (Pythagoreans + Orphics, etc.)

I dare you to try eating baked beans one day, and tell me you dont feel like you have to go to the hospital 12 hours after. Regular beans, not only are they grainy, They have this texture that turns into concrete for some reason, so you have to be careful. Soybeans and fava beans are more like, specialized ejaculation beans. And for some reason, even though we love soy sauce, real Chinese soy sauces have more soy, and subsequently more of a BBQ flavor, which is why i prefer the Japanese/American soy sauce. But Chinese have all of the base recipes that we are now using as the pinnacle.

If Italian grandmas were not all deceased, their food wouldve been the pinnacle, im tellin ya!... we just live in a shty time now. P.s. Alot of African Americans are really good at "cookin things up" if ya kno wat i mean, And i could imagine they would be A++ cooks, cause they actually have more technical cooking skills than most, where the difference between trash and *product comes down to the pico-second. So they actually have an experience no other person has, which is exactly that alchemical cooking principle that im talking about. They are all this generations cooks.

White Americans? They are good at Ozempic face and things like this... I European cooks all died. Thats been my experience. They all died, lol. Its funny, even if, there are cases where its not true. Like I think the joke has more function to it than the details.

Essentially, All the Other World's books depends on the bean counter, lol, whatever that means.
