Two points regarding the parasitic worm: - The reason why Laios got the parasite is because he ate it raw, which is the last thing anyone can do with harvested meat. No one touched it until it was actually cooked, which is the best way to eradicate any parasitic larvae that might still be in the meat. - The taste would probably be like eel, since the cooking method is based on Unagi, which is a dish of grilled eel covered and broiled in tare sauce.
Also he got the parasite that live inside the parasite not the parasite itself. So the parasite(big) is more of an ambushed predators. Also yes irl parasite do have their own parasite
Fruit gushers wouldn't exist if we didn't all secretely want to eat gems! And I have a pretty bad case of insectophobia so that says something as to how tasty gems look
they use tools though. so still questionable (plus demihuman is a social concept anyway, like oni aren’t human but they are not demihuman either because people from the east don’t have the term)
@@Vlad-t3f6q The creation and use of tools isn't an indication of humanity because real animals in the wild (including species of mammals, birds, fishes, insects, cephalopods) have been observed making and using tools to hunt, groom, fight, communicate etc. Also "demi-human" isn't a social concept in Dungeon Meshi, it's a biological reality ! Demi-humans are cross races between a human race and an animal one and so far all confirmed demi-humans have been mammalian (which isn't the case for Merman / Fishmen). And Ogres (aka Oni) are biologically humans like Elves and Dwarves are, it's only Tall-Men who don't consider them human (probably due to racism and supremacist ideology).
@@moorhsum9755 i mean, we know that at least on the island demihumans are counted as such if they have a different number of bones from humans, not specifically because of animal traits, its kinda of an arbitrary distinguisher that onis just so happen to not have. what really separates a fishman from a cobolt? a mammal mermaid from orcs? i dont think we have that much information to say whether they have their own languages and cultures and such. (i think its also pretty much established in-cannon that everyone in the cast has some concerning views on race, so it makes sense for them to not know) so still pretty iffy to eat in a world where there are potential sentient animals i would not eat a dolphin even if they May not be People
@@Vlad-t3f6q If you can't eat sentient animals you should probably be vegan because all vertebrate species are sentient and that represents the majority of what we eat. If you meant "sapient", then sure, it's probably better to not eat that...but how does that relate to the topic of Fishmen ? Fishmen did not show proof of sapience. None of the monsters eaten by the group did. The topic was also never about the ethics of eating sapient animals - the only concern raised in the video is about the possibility that eating Fishmen = Cannibalism which would mean they are related to humans. We could debate more about whether there are real differences between demi-human races and human races but that won't answer the question of what Fishmen are. If we come to your answer, which is that "demi-human" is a social construct, it won't suddenly mean Fishmen are also related to humans, it will only makes us question how the previously recognized demi-human races should be categorized. So let's focus more on why Fishmen can't be related to humans rather than what a demi-human is. Let's analyze human and demi-human races and then compare them to the Fishmen. We can't only look at what the character say, we have to consider how Ryoko Kui designed each races. Human races include : Tall Men, Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, Half-Foot and Ogres / Oni. They all have the same number of bones, limbs, organs, etc. The functioning of their biology is also very minimally differenciated. They can seemingly reproduce with each other, though there is concern over the fertility of mixed offsprings (however they're so rare and their growth is so unpredictable that it's impossible to verify if that's actually true). Frankly, we don't have to spend a lot of time here, they're humans, they're all mostly the same with a few tiny differences here and there. Officially recognized Demi-Humans includes : Orcs, Kobolds, Mermaids and Beast Men. They all share distinctive traits : humanoid bodies with mild biological differences (different number of bones, additional / lesser number of limbs), presence of animal traits (porcine, canine, feline, fish etc), mammalian reproduction and capacity (somewhat) for speech. All except the Mermaids have proven to be sapient. Fishmen obviously do not fit the requirements to be recognized as a human race (biology is completely different) but they also don't fit with the patterns established by the recognized demi-humans : they aren't mammalian and they don't have capacity for speech (complete lack of vocal cords). Of course, unless Ryoko Kui says it herself, we won't know a 100% what each races are but all of the evidence (including Laios' words) points towards Fishmen not being humain.
@@moorhsum9755 i think we may be arguing past each other. 1) this was never really about wether something was cannibalism or not? 2)my argument on demihumans IS shaky, but also i dont think the whole limbs and being mammalian thing is ever brought up in cannon, other than laios using it to argue that demihumans a very far removed biologically from humans (which i'm not arguing against, those very much are fish with thumbs) 3) all that i was saying is that its dubious to eat fishmen, like, ethically? we will probably not agree on this one, cause its kinda a matter of interpretation and personal opinion i really would rather not get stuck on semantics all day, have a nice :)
HONESTLY!! i used to get those flavored bug snacks as a kid whenever i went camping cause the camp ground stores always had them and the treasure bugs seemed like that but like. shiny
It may be my autism speaking, but anyone who loves to eat lobster and crab while calling the consumption of insects disgusting confuses me. Like… people worldwide eat them. And cook them in ways that are absolutely delicious!
Cant wait to see people making their own versions of these meals! I saw one person make a look-alike of the sorbet with gem candies and it looked soooo mouth-watering.
I have to disagree with a lot of your assessments, first of all, mandrake appears to be similar to gobō/edible burdock, which means that the vegetable kakiage would be more akin to diner style hashbrowns with other vegetables mixed in. Secondly, the living armour would be more similar to mussels or oysters than calamari. Thirdly, as some other people have pointed out, the sorbet was just chilled by the ghost and didnt include any ghost essence. Lastly, while I do agree with your assessment on the parasitic worm, I'm surprised you didn't mention how it's supposed to be similar to Japanese grilled eel/kabayaki, since that would make its real world counterpart much more appealing.
Plus, the issue of them being spirits of humans IS brought up later in the series. It was chilled by them, which means there is potentially ghost in them.
i would argue with the assertion that mimic isn’t filling. visually it resembles hermit crab and crab is straight up mostly protein. that stuff fills you up Fast, three to four crab legs would probably be enough even if you spent a lot of energy, and those mimic legs look Huge
Since the jewel bug crown was a hive full of eggs that needed to be scooped out, I think you can actually get the same taste and texture from honeycomb! This explains why the jewel bugs were part of the sorbet making process - jewel bug hives are sweet!
I'm SO glad you addressed how mouthwatering Senshi's bread looked. Every time my friends and I watch this show, we wish it was real. It looks like milk bread, too, so it's probably EXTRA soft and fluffy!
Apparently frog legs do actually taste a lot like chicken. Never had it myself so I can't confirm, but they're fairly common in the swampy bits of the southern US. (have had gator though, which does taste a lot like chicken! Just ever so slightly fishy with the texture of very dark meat chicken)
In Singapore, Frog Leg Porridge is pretty common! You're right to say it tastes a lot like chicken. It's like you've shrunken Chicken Drumlets into mini-sized versions of it. I used to be disgusted by the idea until my dad encouraged me to try it. Much to my surprise, now I just think of it as another version of chicken porridge :>
Can confirm the chicken-like quality of frog legs. It’s definitely a different texture but the flavor is similar. I’d say they’re more rubbery than chicken, or just chewier? Very tasty though. Loved eating them as a kid.
Dragon steak would probably taste bad, especially considering the way it was killed and how mature it was…thats some really tough, gamey, stress hormone filled meat right there. :/ It may be very nutritious though, and it’s enough meat to feed a whole town for months. It would probably be really good in a pot roast!
@@dartoney you know what, i have had gator, but I didn't even consider the fact it's lizard meat. The red, tough meat on the show is nothing like any gator I've eaten. That being said, maybe dragon is good fried? (as a southener what isnt)
@@steampunk-llama yah that's what I'm thinking! it looks way too tough on the show. and if i remember right they said the flavor was lackluster too, so maybe some heavy seasonings or a marinade--mmm maybe teriyaki dragon steak?
@@cryxtheace3129 Ooo yeah teriyaki would work really well, esp with some ginger/garlic/chilli added in to give it that extra oomph >:3c I could even see a curry working out too, since the spices used in many of them should help bring out the natural dragon flavour, along with it being an easy bulk meal to help feed multiple people!! I do have to wonder if perhaps using an adolescent would give it a texture closer to other reptiles? Particularly I can see it being at least adjacent to crocodile or alligator in the right conditions to keep it relatively tender, though I also wouldn’t be surprised if it is just naturally tough and gamey given it’s from a massive land based predator. Much to think about 🤔
The parasitic worms look like eel meat are cooked like how the Japanese prepare eel (unagi). A fantasy version of unagi without the bones is worth any danger.
Im pretty certain that parasite was supposed to be some kind of lamprey. Lampreys lack a ribcage and only have a skull and spine. Irl there are parasitic lampreys but they latch onto their hosts from the outside, there isnt any internal lamprey species to my knowledge.
I feel like with the Undine stew with tentacles, the tentacles would have cooked down, creating a whole different flavor profile than if it was eaten raw. Sorta like if you cook garlic, it enhances the flavor of garlic but dies down the bitter taste to it compared to haven eaten it raw.
@@zanthe_ Welp! Guess I’m gonna have to give it a try after all… It took so much work to get it out of my tumblr feed but looks like it’s gonna come right back real soon lol
Myyyyy goodness! Never in my life have I ever wanted to eat a snacky meal this colourful. Just, look at those treasure bugs! I like bugs, and the fact that those ones are actually edible makes me really want to eat them. I’m sooo going for the treasure bug meals including the sorbet (though it very much resembles colourful ice-cream that looks like that a lot of flavours are packed into it, complete with jewellery that, when placed with the sorbet, looks very much like candy in the shape of jewellery). Besides that, I would really eat a feast of kelpie meat which I think it would be better with a side of fresh bread. This is a really good video on looking at the Dungeon’s meshi and I certainly can’t wait to see part two. I love the anime too!
Some insight: 1) fruit tart is actually more like a quiche than a pizza 2) mandrake kikiage is extremely similar to indian pakora, which you’re right can be finicky to cook but is amazing done well 3) parasite mirrors eel meat here
I can imagine the treasure bugs taste a lot like crawdads and the creamy parts would have the texture of lobster roe. They'd probably taste really good steamed or boiled and with some butter.
Should've said you were a picky eater in the beginning. Its obvious based on what you've rated each dish and you're commentary on what makes a dish good. Also, the parasitic worm was suppose to be similar to eel. Eel is my favorite meat and taste exactly how the parasite was described, can't believe it was in D tier.
3:55 I’d say the fruit tart seems to resemble more of a quiche, a sort of savoury custard tart. Presumably it’s simply referred to as “fruit tart” because “quiche” doesn’t translate well to Japanese and back.
If you want a more orange egg for visual variety, duck eggs might be the way you want to go. The freshly stewed vegetables from the Golem gardens is a tried and tested method. Pull them out of the water when done cooking, get better, and substitute a superior protein, and you'll have a great meal. Corned Beef is a particularly choice protein. And if you add grass fed Irish butter? MMMMM I can't say I've had good experiences with crab legs, but they were cheap buffet fare, so.... Also, lobster used to be easy to screw up and considered peasant food. Then superior cooking techniques for the sea roaches proliferated during WWII when cheap mass food was needed. And then Lobsters suffered a massive population dip and because food for the more well off. The Kelpy grilling seems a bit plain and underexplained for people who aren't experienced. Also maybe slightly overcooked. But in principle, grilling that many tasty looking cuts of meat has me hungry. The Undine Stew is quite possibly the second most creative meal in the first half after the living armor. Just... the idea that you take a water spirit and make it the base for your stew to restore mana is just brilliant. The Red Dragon pizza and steak is potentially the most tantalizing for the allure of dragon meat. Like, that is a feast available only for grand conquerors of dungeons or the most elite who can afford to hire said conquerors. The tail also looks nicely fatty, though I'd rather sear that instead of putting it in a soup.
Personally imagined the mandrake as being somewhat starchy like a potato, just with a more herbal bitterness to it, so tbh the kakiage gave me the impression of a potato pancake 🤤 IDK what bat tastes like, but the giant bats don't resemble insectivorous bats, but fruit bats. The floor they live on also has an ample amount fruit from carnivorous plants, so I'm guessing it could taste similar to fruit bats irl.
Speaking from personal experience frog tastes a lot better than chicken and has a very different texture. So if giant frogs tastes like there smaller counterparts I'd say that it's a 10/10.
About the Golum meal if you create the Golum core it is subserviant to you as such it would actually be easyer to farm then normal as it takes care of itself and would be docile to you as the golem smith
Something I noticed and really appreciate is what different dishes get made depending on who seems to be in charge? Laios seemingly has led two dishes, those being the barley with seafood (basically porridge) and the "fish and chips" style dish from later. And both seem much simpler and homier to him (presumably European) as opposed to Senshi's more complex tastes, etc
I mean, the parasite shouldn't be more questionable than any other meat (arguably less so due to it's more controlled environment). It's nowhere near the right size/species to infect a human so Laios getting a second-order parasite from it is more down to really, really bad luck (/rule of funny).
The treasure bugs are up there for me, especially just the straight fried ones. The way Chilchuck was scarfing them down was incredibly appealing. I think after that I’d go with the dragon meat.
11:21 you’re not the only one, when i was younger i used to take the charms of shoelaces and jewelry and just put it in my mouth during class so i could pay attention
The Treasure Bugsnax, Sorbet, Glazed Parasitic Worm, grilled Kelpie, Tentacle Pasta, Cutlets and the Red Dragon Full Course Meal needs to be in my MOUTH
11:35 in thr USA and Europe most people dislike the idea of eating bugs. However people in asia eat bugs as part of their meals on a daily basis. There's even a name for the practice of eating bugs called entomophagy.
about wanting to eat the shinys rock candy is amazing for that feeling brake the chunks off the stick and play with the pieces like you would a shiny rock then eat it
The scorpion hot pot looks appealing. It is the first dish to start the series with easy to find ingredients. It doesn't much complex like other dish. Just simple yet delicious. It should be in the S tier instead
My TH-cam recommendations come in two flavors: Dungeon Meshi and Genshin Impact. Hearing the Port Ormos theme during the Red Dragon Full Course Meal crossed my wires in a way I was not expecting, but it was very cool.
My thoughts: Giant Scorpion: Basically a less tasty lobster. Scorpions are eaten in some real- world cultures. While I haven't tried it myself, it's supposedly not much different from peeling a boiled crayfish, apart from removing the venomous stinger before cooking. Man- Eating Plants: In our world, most- if not all- carnivorous/parasitic plants are unedible, though sundew plants and mistletoes are sometimes used for medical purposes. The fruit of these fictional plants do resemble real- world tomatoes, paprikas, peas, and onions, so I suppose they're good enough to eat (though I do wonder why a plant that injects its seeds into one's skin would even need fruit to reproduce). Basilisk and Mandrake: As BreadHead said: Chicken and Eggs. Though the snake part could also be edible, as snakes are eaten in parts of China and Southeast Asia. According to a Finnish traveling show from the early 2000's called Madventures, snake meat resembles pike fish. As for the mandrakes, this plant (which does exist in real life, minus the screaming part) has been used for its medical properties for centuries, though I've never heard of it being used as food. Doubt it's even edible. Big Bat: Bats are used as food on some islands in the Pacific, as well as some remote locations of the Philippines and Indonesia. According to Madventures, the meat tastes like chicken, though the innards are pretty bad. Living Armor: Since these are molluscs living in rusty pieces of metal, I'd boil them first. It should kill all the bacteria and mold. If any mold remains, discard those. After that, the meat should be pretty good, no matter how you prepare it. Personally, I think deepfrying them after boiling would be perfect, also to make it more appealing for elves. Golem Garden Vegetables: Just vegetables. Nothing special. Freshly Picked Stewed Cabbage with Spicy Chicken and Stolen Bread: Once again, pretty basic. The bread may be spicy, but I don't mind spicy food. Also love how Senshi hypes up bread in this episode. That has to mean the bread is good, so I'll take your word for it! Treasure Bugs: First off, it's totally normal to want to sink your teeth in treasure. That's how people in the old days used to test whether gold coins were real or fake, as gold is soft. Second, Insects are a valuable source of protein to many people around the world, though most people either stir- fry or deepfry them. That's why I'd stir/deepfry the treasure bugs before eating, no matter how appealing they look raw. The only reason I'd eat literal treasure is if it was made of candy. Exorcism Sorbet: If the treasure bugs tasted like candy, this could be like any sorbet. But for all we know, this could taste like it was made from decaying corpses. We have no idea what ghosts would taste like, not to mention the moral dilemma of eating something that was once human or any other sentient being. Mimic: Basically a lobster/king crab. Same rules apply. Porridge: Pretty basic, in addition to the leftowers. Totally beats the traditional Finnish porridges I grew up with (except chocolate porridge). Parasitic worm: NOPE! Anything parasitic is a big no- no for me (with the exception of the parasite plant paprikas). No matter how good it tastes, I'm not eating anything that might cause a severe stomach- ache at best, or eat through my stomach like a xenomorph at worst! That's where I draw the line! Kelpie: Looks like a horse, and tastes like beef and pork? That's a definite must- try for me! Even if it was just horse meat, I'd still try it! Undine Stew With Tentacles and Kelpie: Basically elemental water, with horse meat that taste like beef and pork, with tentacles from some unknown creature living on the ceiling. In other words, A stew of beef/pork meat with squid. Sounds delicious! Tentacle Gnocchi/Pasta: Basically calamari pasta. Sounds delicious! Cutlets to Conquer the Red Dragon: Pretty much a royal meal the heroes need to fight the dragon. Anything goes IMO. Red Dragon Meal: I've never imagined eating a dragon (apart from a scene in the movie Quest for Camelot, where the main villain is served "dragon steak", and a recipe in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm which concists of four dragon flanks). But I'd imagine the meat being though, and resembling high- quality beef (like Black Angus). Though I have heard certain lizard species are hunted as food in some parts of the world, including Australia (mostly among the natives).
Props to this show for making me wanna eat treasure-looking bugs. Since Chilchuk thinks they taste like fish, I could imagine that they may be very similar to soft-shelled crab. They have a crispy to crunchy exterior, but meaty on the inside. The chewy necklace I imagine would be like mochi or ricecake. The jewels probably taste like some sort of jam, they appear very candy-like.
respect to the video using the actual monsters as a factor but i would do this based on real life dish equivalent as well That way you can get the real flavor instead of assumption the ingredients like how some people do(example being marcille) , i have eaten most of these in real life. like the treasure bugs can be simillar to kohakutou and chocolate candy coins. Fruit tart is quiche and even the tree root plant is similar to a real life plant. Obviously oyster are Armour and parasite is eel. So besides what monsters and such are to...i recommend if we do more of these rankings, to go flavor profile and dishes similar to it. I like cooking foods from fiction alot, especially from foodwars and cartoons so this show really made me hungry.
Hey, were you using final fantasy 8 music for some of these? Because that overworld theme just hit's right. When you're talking about food on an adventure.
the parasite is a parable to grilled bbq eel which is very popular in Japan, i think if you tasted one before you'll appreciate that grilled parasite meal more; and similar to eel in real life, there's also parasites resided in eels, so the preparation is important
When they ate the gems, it brought me back to like 2013 when I watched that one episode in MLP when Spike would eat gems, and I wanted to eat them too 😞
15:09 Everything… looks nice. I wanna try every food in this anime…😅 I've actually tried eating monsters too in DnD, but my character didn't have cook's utensils proficiency so my DM just ruled it that I cooked it poorly and ended up being sick later on lol. (This was before I even heard of Dungeon Meshi, mind you… a year or two before the anime even got announced…)
there are actually a number of things that the monsters remind me of from a non-japanese perspective. the mandrake kakiage looks like akara…the living armor look like snails before they’re cooked. i wouldn’t be able to eat the tentacle pasta - i’ve had one too many thoughts about it looking like parasitic worms even before i read the manga 😨
16:20 this is a topic I don't typically like to talk about because people don't usually want to understand what it actually means, but I'll explain in short. No, it isn't cannibalism, it can't be considered cannibalism in any way because you have to be the exact same species or race for it to be cannibalism, a Tallman can eat an Elf and it won't be Cannibalism, a Wood Elf can eat a High Elf and it will not be cannibalism but only if both races of Elf originated from different evolution lines. Like Crocodile and Alligator as just an example of two creatures that won't be cannibals for eating each other.
to make sense of this tierlist you need a Master's Degree on what the author likes or not, what's trendy at the moment and what the author feels about the trend. I'll rate this tier list F tier
My list as a picky eater based purely on if I could eat it (sorry for typos im on my phone at 3am, lets go!): -scorpion hotpot: TRY/YES :this one seems promising, the scorpion seems p lobsters and the slime noodles seem like rice noodles so the odds of at least being able to eat that are decent! I will be touching nothing else in the pot. -fruit tart: MAYBE?TRY :probably a no, but if I picked out all the bits and just had the cake-esk part it could be... alright... possibly...? -basalisk: YES : litterally just chicken. -basalisk omelet: YES/CAVEAT : I could prob eat just the egg part, just cook up the egg part and it's prob fine. Like my brain might be mean about the snake egg aspect but it seems enough like egg powering through seems plausible. -kakiage: NO :bat and veg. No shot. And it's fried weird? Nope. -living armour: GOD NO :its fucking osters and shit! Hell! hell! Begone demon! -vegi boil: YES? : I.. could eat the carrots and potatoes I guess? That'd be fine? -stewed cabbage and spicy chicken: KINDA :I can eat the bread at least ;-; -treasure bug snacks: NO :no shot not a chance in your life am I ever gonna be bringing myself to eat bugs, no mater how aestetically mouthwatering they look in jam (which I also can't eat texturally) truly killing me with the sorbet they look so good but I just can't do it rip in pepperoni. -Boiled mimic: YES :lobster. First real meal in a hot minute. -boiled barley: KINDA : Mimics back on the menu boys! And nothing else :/ -parasitic worm: NO :its slimy and gross! -kelpie grilled meat: TRY/YES :I mean, it's meat. There's a chance I don't like it but there's a higher chance I do. Not eating liver tho. -undine stew: TORN :on the one hand Kellie stew seems so, so good. And if it was just that and veg I'd be all over this. But the tentacles.... like I Def will not eat them and depending on the flavor they give the stew I may not eat it either. Very maybe. -tenticle pasta: MAYBE :Pasta may be my one great love but again! Tentacles! Of unknown flavor and texture! I am fear. -frog coutlets: YES :ah bread, the return of my savior! I could maybe also do the frog coutlets so long as it wasn't placed of the red wine tenticles. It's just like chicken right? Right? ;-; -dragon meat: YES :first time I've ever seen something I 100% beleive I'd try in real life no caveats. That is the most succulent red meat I've ever seen. Like it's def tough so idk how long that enjoyment would last, but it's so worth a try. And wrose case there's decent pizza on the right! Part 1: 9ish (pos 11) meals out of 17. So like, a bit over half? I'd survive at least! (the 3 meals made from treasure bugs were counted as 1. The shakey maybe meals or heavy caveats were tallied as 1/2 meals. The extra 2 pos meals were for the tenticles.)
i would probably eat treasure bugs if i kept them coin side up or couldn’t see any insect parts because they look so tasty but the bug part really puts me off

Two points regarding the parasitic worm:
- The reason why Laios got the parasite is because he ate it raw, which is the last thing anyone can do with harvested meat. No one touched it until it was actually cooked, which is the best way to eradicate any parasitic larvae that might still be in the meat.
- The taste would probably be like eel, since the cooking method is based on Unagi, which is a dish of grilled eel covered and broiled in tare sauce.
My guy was really stupid in that moment, i hope he learned from that experience 😔
Also he got the parasite that live inside the parasite not the parasite itself. So the parasite(big) is more of an ambushed predators.

If you can't eat sentient animals you should probably be vegan because all vertebrate species are sentient and that represents the majority of what we eat.
If you meant "sapient", then sure, it's probably better to not eat that...but how does that relate to the topic of Fishmen ?
Fishmen did not show proof of sapience. None of the monsters eaten by the group did.
The topic was also never about the ethics of eating sapient animals - the only concern raised in the video is about the possibility that eating Fishmen = Cannibalism which would mean they are related to humans.
We could debate more about whether there are real differences between demi-human races and human races but that won't answer the question of what Fishmen are.
If we come to your answer, which is that "demi-human" is a social construct, it won't suddenly mean Fishmen are also related to humans, it will only makes us question how the previously recognized demi-human races should be categorized.
So let's focus more on why Fishmen can't be related to humans rather than what a demi-human is.
Let's analyze human and demi-human races and then compare them to the Fishmen. We can't only look at what the character say, we have to consider how Ryoko Kui designed each races.
Human races include : Tall Men, Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, Half-Foot and Ogres / Oni.
They all have the same number of bones, limbs, organs, etc. The functioning of their biology is also very minimally differenciated. They can seemingly reproduce with each other, though there is concern over the fertility of mixed offsprings (however they're so rare and their growth is so unpredictable that it's impossible to verify if that's actually true).
Frankly, we don't have to spend a lot of time here, they're humans, they're all mostly the same with a few tiny differences here and there.
Officially recognized Demi-Humans includes : Orcs, Kobolds, Mermaids and Beast Men. They all share distinctive traits : humanoid bodies with mild biological differences (different number of bones, additional / lesser number of limbs), presence of animal traits (porcine, canine, feline, fish etc), mammalian reproduction and capacity (somewhat) for speech. All except the Mermaids have proven to be sapient.
Fishmen obviously do not fit the requirements to be recognized as a human race (biology is completely different) but they also don't fit with the patterns established by the recognized demi-humans : they aren't mammalian and they don't have capacity for speech (complete lack of vocal cords).
Of course, unless Ryoko Kui says it herself, we won't know a 100% what each races are but all of the evidence (including Laios' words) points towards Fishmen not being humain.
@@moorhsum9755 i think we may be arguing past each other. 1) this was never really about wether something was cannibalism or not?
2)my argument on demihumans IS shaky, but also i dont think the whole limbs and being mammalian thing is ever brought up in cannon, other than laios using it to argue that demihumans a very far removed biologically from humans (which i'm not arguing against, those very much are fish with thumbs)
3) all that i was saying is that its dubious to eat fishmen, like, ethically?
we will probably not agree on this one, cause its kinda a matter of interpretation and personal opinion
i really would rather not get stuck on semantics all day, have a nice :)
Finally, someone who gets that the treasure bug snacks were really interesting not repulsive
its like a nice take on Mimic sub-species, and the ecology is nice.
P R O T E I N
HONESTLY!! i used to get those flavored bug snacks as a kid whenever i went camping cause the camp ground stores always had them and the treasure bugs seemed like that but like. shiny
It may be my autism speaking, but anyone who loves to eat lobster and crab while calling the consumption of insects disgusting confuses me. Like… people worldwide eat them. And cook them in ways that are absolutely delicious!
@@belisauriusfish9406 oysters are snails as well
I want to eat the treasure bugs so incredibly bad it almost hurts
Bro go cook up some shrimp and mantis i heard mantis is tasty and shrimp tastes good
Same. It's so crazy looking I HAVE to try it
Closest thing is chocolate gold coins 😂
Cant wait to see people making their own versions of these meals! I saw one person make a look-alike of the sorbet with gem candies and it looked soooo mouth-watering.
Where id love to see
link please 🥺
I have to disagree with a lot of your assessments, first of all, mandrake appears to be similar to gobō/edible burdock, which means that the vegetable kakiage would be more akin to diner style hashbrowns with other vegetables mixed in. Secondly, the living armour would be more similar to mussels or oysters than calamari. Thirdly, as some other people have pointed out, the sorbet was just chilled by the ghost and didnt include any ghost essence. Lastly, while I do agree with your assessment on the parasitic worm, I'm surprised you didn't mention how it's supposed to be similar to Japanese grilled eel/kabayaki, since that would make its real world counterpart much more appealing.
This guy probably only eats fries and burgers
@@kneerow3 Ah yes. Burdock and oysters. Famous burger ingredients.
Plus, the issue of them being spirits of humans IS brought up later in the series. It was chilled by them, which means there is potentially ghost in them.
16:55 To be fair, he didn't make a SMALL mistake... He ate it raw!
i would argue with the assertion that mimic isn’t filling. visually it resembles hermit crab and crab is straight up mostly protein. that stuff fills you up Fast, three to four crab legs would probably be enough even if you spent a lot of energy, and those mimic legs look Huge
Since the jewel bug crown was a hive full of eggs that needed to be scooped out, I think you can actually get the same taste and texture from honeycomb! This explains why the jewel bugs were part of the sorbet making process - jewel bug hives are sweet!
This makes the Jewel Bug Burgers more of a Sloppy Joe, which I think is perfect.
11:38 eating riches lmao 5yr old me relates. Choked on a number of earrings.
Glad I'm not the only one who feels like that
I'm SO glad you addressed how mouthwatering Senshi's bread looked. Every time my friends and I watch this show, we wish it was real. It looks like milk bread, too, so it's probably EXTRA soft and fluffy!
Apparently frog legs do actually taste a lot like chicken. Never had it myself so I can't confirm, but they're fairly common in the swampy bits of the southern US. (have had gator though, which does taste a lot like chicken! Just ever so slightly fishy with the texture of very dark meat chicken)
I've had lots of frog legs. It's like a chicken wing!!! ❤
The texture is much chewier, the taste is yea, mini chicken legs
In Singapore, Frog Leg Porridge is pretty common! You're right to say it tastes a lot like chicken. It's like you've shrunken Chicken Drumlets into mini-sized versions of it. I used to be disgusted by the idea until my dad encouraged me to try it. Much to my surprise, now I just think of it as another version of chicken porridge :>
I love frog legs
Can confirm the chicken-like quality of frog legs. It’s definitely a different texture but the flavor is similar. I’d say they’re more rubbery than chicken, or just chewier? Very tasty though. Loved eating them as a kid.
Dragon steak would probably taste bad, especially considering the way it was killed and how mature it was…thats some really tough, gamey, stress hormone filled meat right there. :/ It may be very nutritious though, and it’s enough meat to feed a whole town for months. It would probably be really good in a pot roast!
Yeah it’d def be best as a stew based meal ingredient!! Lots of slow cooking to tenderise it and whatnot
You sound like you have never eaten a reptile before
@@dartoney you know what, i have had gator, but I didn't even consider the fact it's lizard meat. The red, tough meat on the show is nothing like any gator I've eaten. That being said, maybe dragon is good fried? (as a southener what isnt)
@@steampunk-llama yah that's what I'm thinking! it looks way too tough on the show. and if i remember right they said the flavor was lackluster too, so maybe some heavy seasonings or a marinade--mmm maybe teriyaki dragon steak?
@@cryxtheace3129 Ooo yeah teriyaki would work really well, esp with some ginger/garlic/chilli added in to give it that extra oomph >:3c
I could even see a curry working out too, since the spices used in many of them should help bring out the natural dragon flavour, along with it being an easy bulk meal to help feed multiple people!!
I do have to wonder if perhaps using an adolescent would give it a texture closer to other reptiles? Particularly I can see it being at least adjacent to crocodile or alligator in the right conditions to keep it relatively tender, though I also wouldn’t be surprised if it is just naturally tough and gamey given it’s from a massive land based predator. Much to think about 🤔
The tart was more of a quiche than a pizza.
Its so funny to me that the "Eating monsters is GROSS" vibes are so strong in your final ranking.
i think he would find a fast friend in marcille
"Its like a very thick pizza"
So like a fritata essentially?
oh so that's the name, haven't tried one for a while
I was thinking a quiche or fritatta.
i just looked up fritata. why didnt tim hortons call it that instead of omelet bites?
@@MegaMegajennifer Because, being Canadian they're afraid of anything that isn't English or French.
@@pathfindersavant3988 no we're not
The parasitic worms look like eel meat are cooked like how the Japanese prepare eel (unagi). A fantasy version of unagi without the bones is worth any danger.
Im pretty certain that parasite was supposed to be some kind of lamprey. Lampreys lack a ribcage and only have a skull and spine. Irl there are parasitic lampreys but they latch onto their hosts from the outside, there isnt any internal lamprey species to my knowledge.
I feel like with the Undine stew with tentacles, the tentacles would have cooked down, creating a whole different flavor profile than if it was eaten raw. Sorta like if you cook garlic, it enhances the flavor of garlic but dies down the bitter taste to it compared to haven eaten it raw.
The funger reference lmao!
Man, The algorithm has been pushing this anime onto me for a while now, and I’m not sure why?? On all apps basically!
Cause its good (and popular right now)
@@zanthe_
Welp! Guess I’m gonna have to give it a try after all… It took so much work to get it out of my tumblr feed but looks like it’s gonna come right back real soon lol
I've been waiting for this since it was announced! I love dungeon meshi 🎉
Myyyyy goodness! Never in my life have I ever wanted to eat a snacky meal this colourful. Just, look at those treasure bugs! I like bugs, and the fact that those ones are actually edible makes me really want to eat them. I’m sooo going for the treasure bug meals including the sorbet (though it very much resembles colourful ice-cream that looks like that a lot of flavours are packed into it, complete with jewellery that, when placed with the sorbet, looks very much like candy in the shape of jewellery). Besides that, I would really eat a feast of kelpie meat which I think it would be better with a side of fresh bread.
This is a really good video on looking at the Dungeon’s meshi and I certainly can’t wait to see part two. I love the anime too!
Some insight:
1) fruit tart is actually more like a quiche than a pizza
2) mandrake kikiage is extremely similar to indian pakora, which you’re right can be finicky to cook but is amazing done well
3) parasite mirrors eel meat here
I felt doxxed when you talked about the gems because you nailed my feeling on it
I can imagine the treasure bugs taste a lot like crawdads and the creamy parts would have the texture of lobster roe. They'd probably taste really good steamed or boiled and with some butter.
Dat Scorpion Mushroom Hot Pot looks like Lobster Hot Pot
Should've said you were a picky eater in the beginning. Its obvious based on what you've rated each dish and you're commentary on what makes a dish good.
Also, the parasitic worm was suppose to be similar to eel. Eel is my favorite meat and taste exactly how the parasite was described, can't believe it was in D tier.
3:55 I’d say the fruit tart seems to resemble more of a quiche, a sort of savoury custard tart. Presumably it’s simply referred to as “fruit tart” because “quiche” doesn’t translate well to Japanese and back.
This anime goes insane
I aint watched dungeon meshi yet, i will watch this video one day
Welp, looking forward to the day you do lol
Hey!!
Parasites aren’t FULLY off the table, there’s still some parasitic fungi that people do eat irl as a delicacy!
If you want a more orange egg for visual variety, duck eggs might be the way you want to go.
The freshly stewed vegetables from the Golem gardens is a tried and tested method. Pull them out of the water when done cooking, get better, and substitute a superior protein, and you'll have a great meal. Corned Beef is a particularly choice protein. And if you add grass fed Irish butter? MMMMM
I can't say I've had good experiences with crab legs, but they were cheap buffet fare, so.... Also, lobster used to be easy to screw up and considered peasant food. Then superior cooking techniques for the sea roaches proliferated during WWII when cheap mass food was needed. And then Lobsters suffered a massive population dip and because food for the more well off.
The Kelpy grilling seems a bit plain and underexplained for people who aren't experienced. Also maybe slightly overcooked. But in principle, grilling that many tasty looking cuts of meat has me hungry.
The Undine Stew is quite possibly the second most creative meal in the first half after the living armor. Just... the idea that you take a water spirit and make it the base for your stew to restore mana is just brilliant.
The Red Dragon pizza and steak is potentially the most tantalizing for the allure of dragon meat. Like, that is a feast available only for grand conquerors of dungeons or the most elite who can afford to hire said conquerors. The tail also looks nicely fatty, though I'd rather sear that instead of putting it in a soup.
Bro I was eating my breakfast while watching this yet im still drooling.
Someone actually made the tart, and if I remember right it came out...not very good.
Turns out Pepper skins don't really work as effective crust.
Maybe some other fruit/vegetable skin?
@@flyingorange2482 potato may work do to starch
Personally imagined the mandrake as being somewhat starchy like a potato, just with a more herbal bitterness to it, so tbh the kakiage gave me the impression of a potato pancake 🤤 IDK what bat tastes like, but the giant bats don't resemble insectivorous bats, but fruit bats. The floor they live on also has an ample amount fruit from carnivorous plants, so I'm guessing it could taste similar to fruit bats irl.
Speaking from personal experience frog tastes a lot better than chicken and has a very different texture. So if giant frogs tastes like there smaller counterparts I'd say that it's a 10/10.
I was so thrown off by the genshin bg music during the criteria part of the vid lmaooo
About the Golum meal
if you create the Golum core it is subserviant to you
as such it would actually be easyer to farm then normal as it takes care of itself and would be docile to you as the golem smith
Something I noticed and really appreciate is what different dishes get made depending on who seems to be in charge? Laios seemingly has led two dishes, those being the barley with seafood (basically porridge) and the "fish and chips" style dish from later. And both seem much simpler and homier to him (presumably European) as opposed to Senshi's more complex tastes, etc
I mean, the parasite shouldn't be more questionable than any other meat (arguably less so due to it's more controlled environment). It's nowhere near the right size/species to infect a human so Laios getting a second-order parasite from it is more down to really, really bad luck (/rule of funny).
17:02 Watching how they cooked it I imagined the worm to taste more like eels tho lol
The treasure bugs are up there for me, especially just the straight fried ones. The way Chilchuck was scarfing them down was incredibly appealing.
I think after that I’d go with the dragon meat.
11:21 you’re not the only one, when i was younger i used to take the charms of shoelaces and jewelry and just put it in my mouth during class so i could pay attention
"Mom, what's that guy doing?"
"Stay away from him. He's a shiny rock addict."
The Treasure Bugsnax, Sorbet, Glazed Parasitic Worm, grilled Kelpie, Tentacle Pasta, Cutlets and the Red Dragon Full Course Meal needs to be in my MOUTH
11:35 in thr USA and Europe most people dislike the idea of eating bugs. However people in asia eat bugs as part of their meals on a daily basis. There's even a name for the practice of eating bugs called entomophagy.
about wanting to eat the shinys rock candy is amazing for that feeling brake the chunks off the stick and play with the pieces like you would a shiny rock then eat it
The scorpion hot pot looks appealing. It is the first dish to start the series with easy to find ingredients. It doesn't much complex like other dish. Just simple yet delicious. It should be in the S tier instead
I REALLY want to try the bug coins. Fried fish-like snacks are amazing
My TH-cam recommendations come in two flavors: Dungeon Meshi and Genshin Impact. Hearing the Port Ormos theme during the Red Dragon Full Course Meal crossed my wires in a way I was not expecting, but it was very cool.
There is an entire subreddit dedicated to pictures of objects that look like food but aren't. So wanting to eat the treasure bugs makes sense.
My thoughts:
Giant Scorpion: Basically a less tasty lobster. Scorpions are eaten in some real- world cultures. While I haven't tried it myself, it's supposedly not much different from peeling a boiled crayfish, apart from removing the venomous stinger before cooking.
Man- Eating Plants: In our world, most- if not all- carnivorous/parasitic plants are unedible, though sundew plants and mistletoes are sometimes used for medical purposes. The fruit of these fictional plants do resemble real- world tomatoes, paprikas, peas, and onions, so I suppose they're good enough to eat (though I do wonder why a plant that injects its seeds into one's skin would even need fruit to reproduce).
Basilisk and Mandrake: As BreadHead said: Chicken and Eggs. Though the snake part could also be edible, as snakes are eaten in parts of China and Southeast Asia. According to a Finnish traveling show from the early 2000's called Madventures, snake meat resembles pike fish. As for the mandrakes, this plant (which does exist in real life, minus the screaming part) has been used for its medical properties for centuries, though I've never heard of it being used as food. Doubt it's even edible.
Big Bat: Bats are used as food on some islands in the Pacific, as well as some remote locations of the Philippines and Indonesia. According to Madventures, the meat tastes like chicken, though the innards are pretty bad.
Living Armor: Since these are molluscs living in rusty pieces of metal, I'd boil them first. It should kill all the bacteria and mold. If any mold remains, discard those. After that, the meat should be pretty good, no matter how you prepare it. Personally, I think deepfrying them after boiling would be perfect, also to make it more appealing for elves.
Golem Garden Vegetables: Just vegetables. Nothing special.
Freshly Picked Stewed Cabbage with Spicy Chicken and Stolen Bread: Once again, pretty basic. The bread may be spicy, but I don't mind spicy food. Also love how Senshi hypes up bread in this episode. That has to mean the bread is good, so I'll take your word for it!
Treasure Bugs: First off, it's totally normal to want to sink your teeth in treasure. That's how people in the old days used to test whether gold coins were real or fake, as gold is soft. Second, Insects are a valuable source of protein to many people around the world, though most people either stir- fry or deepfry them. That's why I'd stir/deepfry the treasure bugs before eating, no matter how appealing they look raw. The only reason I'd eat literal treasure is if it was made of candy.
Exorcism Sorbet: If the treasure bugs tasted like candy, this could be like any sorbet. But for all we know, this could taste like it was made from decaying corpses. We have no idea what ghosts would taste like, not to mention the moral dilemma of eating something that was once human or any other sentient being.
Mimic: Basically a lobster/king crab. Same rules apply.
Porridge: Pretty basic, in addition to the leftowers. Totally beats the traditional Finnish porridges I grew up with (except chocolate porridge).
Parasitic worm: NOPE! Anything parasitic is a big no- no for me (with the exception of the parasite plant paprikas). No matter how good it tastes, I'm not eating anything that might cause a severe stomach- ache at best, or eat through my stomach like a xenomorph at worst! That's where I draw the line!
Kelpie: Looks like a horse, and tastes like beef and pork? That's a definite must- try for me! Even if it was just horse meat, I'd still try it!
Undine Stew With Tentacles and Kelpie: Basically elemental water, with horse meat that taste like beef and pork, with tentacles from some unknown creature living on the ceiling. In other words, A stew of beef/pork meat with squid. Sounds delicious!
Tentacle Gnocchi/Pasta: Basically calamari pasta. Sounds delicious!
Cutlets to Conquer the Red Dragon: Pretty much a royal meal the heroes need to fight the dragon. Anything goes IMO.
Red Dragon Meal: I've never imagined eating a dragon (apart from a scene in the movie Quest for Camelot, where the main villain is served "dragon steak", and a recipe in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm which concists of four dragon flanks). But I'd imagine the meat being though, and resembling high- quality beef (like Black Angus). Though I have heard certain lizard species are hunted as food in some parts of the world, including Australia (mostly among the natives).
Props to this show for making me wanna eat treasure-looking bugs.
Since Chilchuk thinks they taste like fish, I could imagine that they may be very similar to soft-shelled crab. They have a crispy to crunchy exterior, but meaty on the inside. The chewy necklace I imagine would be like mochi or ricecake. The jewels probably taste like some sort of jam, they appear very candy-like.
I gotta say I’m mostly interested with the assorted bug snacks, mostly because I’ve been wanting to try real world insect dishes for some time.
I agree with the treasure bug rating, my hungry ass could never be a geologist
respect to the video using the actual monsters as a factor but i would do this based on real life dish equivalent as well
That way you can get the real flavor instead of assumption the ingredients like how some people do(example being marcille)
, i have eaten most of these in real life. like the treasure bugs can be simillar to kohakutou and chocolate candy coins. Fruit tart is quiche and even the tree root plant is similar to a real life plant. Obviously oyster are Armour and parasite is eel. So besides what monsters and such are to...i recommend if we do more of these rankings, to go flavor profile and dishes similar to it. I like cooking foods from fiction alot, especially from foodwars and cartoons so this show really made me hungry.
Hey, were you using final fantasy 8 music for some of these? Because that overworld theme just hit's right. When you're talking about food on an adventure.
that bread really does look so so good. all the food in this looks insanely good, even the stuff i wouldnt personally eat. (like the living armour)
Yes!!!!!! Delicious in dungeon food !!!!! It's all so delectable!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The crown gives me honeycomb vibes. I really want to eat it!
can't wait for the human and worg bones rating hope its an A I was drooling when I saw it
XD
i imagine the parasite meat tasting like unagi...,, i love unagi so much, great video :3
16:57 I legit wasn’t expecting the parasite to have a FREAKING PARASITE
I miss delicious in dungeon thursdays
Oh, fun fact about real giant squid: they are full of ammonium, so Dungeon Meshi hit it right on the nose. They *would* taste absolutely disgusting 😔
the parasite is a parable to grilled bbq eel which is very popular in Japan, i think if you tasted one before you'll appreciate that grilled parasite meal more; and similar to eel in real life, there's also parasites resided in eels, so the preparation is important
When they ate the gems, it brought me back to like 2013 when I watched that one episode in MLP when Spike would eat gems, and I wanted to eat them too 😞
15:09 Everything… looks nice. I wanna try every food in this anime…😅
I've actually tried eating monsters too in DnD, but my character didn't have cook's utensils proficiency so my DM just ruled it that I cooked it poorly and ended up being sick later on lol. (This was before I even heard of Dungeon Meshi, mind you… a year or two before the anime even got announced…)
Personaly i would love to try either the dragon or the parasite most.
Your problem is that you are afraid when it comes to new food.
No matter what you say, you are D-tier because you are afraid.
wouldnt normal coins taste like armor? you said the metallic taste would throw you off
Never thought I'd live to see the day a Nigerian can't handle spice... Love the video man!
I don’t care what it took to make it. I am eating all of this and I’m not stopping till end up like Falin
Personally the man eating plant tart is closer to a quiche, being mostly egg and the savoury flavour
They taste DELICIOUS AND SWEET
So, you in chat: Who here wants to see an official Delicious in Dungeon cookbook? Besides me, that is.
Yes🥹
Wait, I thought living armor mollusks creates their own iron shells to form the armor?
iirc the gem treasure bugs are described as having an 'almost fruity flavor' by the cast, so the sorbet would come out like a fruit sorbet.
there are actually a number of things that the monsters remind me of from a non-japanese perspective. the mandrake kakiage looks like akara…the living armor look like snails before they’re cooked. i wouldn’t be able to eat the tentacle pasta - i’ve had one too many thoughts about it looking like parasitic worms even before i read the manga 😨
Came (don't be dirty lol) for the food, stayed for Marcille
16:20 this is a topic I don't typically like to talk about because people don't usually want to understand what it actually means, but I'll explain in short.
No, it isn't cannibalism, it can't be considered cannibalism in any way because you have to be the exact same species or race for it to be cannibalism, a Tallman can eat an Elf and it won't be Cannibalism, a Wood Elf can eat a High Elf and it will not be cannibalism but only if both races of Elf originated from different evolution lines. Like Crocodile and Alligator as just an example of two creatures that won't be cannibals for eating each other.
18:50 bro my stomach is screaming at me i LOVE stew❤
"Reminds me of the time someone ate a bat and the whole world got traumatized" I laughed harder than I should have at that.
With both being anthropods, I'd assume the scorpion would taste closer to Crab or Lobster than any scaled fish sort of seafood
*puts penny in mouth* myea, pretty normal for me-*chokes*
to make sense of this tierlist you need a Master's Degree on what the author likes or not, what's trendy at the moment and what the author feels about the trend.
I'll rate this tier list F tier
Wouldn't the man eating plant fruit tart be more akin to a quiche than a pizza?
I admit, I thought the treasure bugs would taste like jolly ranchers!
I thought about it for a little bit, what would a chimera taste like? would it taste different to everyone who tries it? would it even be safe to eat?
Frog is actually quite tasty! Its generally somewhat fish-like but its good when done right
My list as a picky eater based purely on if I could eat it (sorry for typos im on my phone at 3am, lets go!):
-scorpion hotpot: TRY/YES :this one seems promising, the scorpion seems p lobsters and the slime noodles seem like rice noodles so the odds of at least being able to eat that are decent! I will be touching nothing else in the pot.
-fruit tart: MAYBE?TRY :probably a no, but if I picked out all the bits and just had the cake-esk part it could be... alright... possibly...?
-basalisk: YES : litterally just chicken.
-basalisk omelet: YES/CAVEAT : I could prob eat just the egg part, just cook up the egg part and it's prob fine. Like my brain might be mean about the snake egg aspect but it seems enough like egg powering through seems plausible.
-kakiage: NO :bat and veg. No shot. And it's fried weird? Nope.
-living armour: GOD NO :its fucking osters and shit! Hell! hell! Begone demon!
-vegi boil: YES? : I.. could eat the carrots and potatoes I guess? That'd be fine?
-stewed cabbage and spicy chicken: KINDA :I can eat the bread at least ;-;
-treasure bug snacks: NO :no shot not a chance in your life am I ever gonna be bringing myself to eat bugs, no mater how aestetically mouthwatering they look in jam (which I also can't eat texturally) truly killing me with the sorbet they look so good but I just can't do it rip in pepperoni.
-Boiled mimic: YES :lobster. First real meal in a hot minute.
-boiled barley: KINDA : Mimics back on the menu boys! And nothing else :/
-parasitic worm: NO :its slimy and gross!
-kelpie grilled meat: TRY/YES :I mean, it's meat. There's a chance I don't like it but there's a higher chance I do. Not eating liver tho.
-undine stew: TORN :on the one hand Kellie stew seems so, so good. And if it was just that and veg I'd be all over this. But the tentacles.... like I Def will not eat them and depending on the flavor they give the stew I may not eat it either. Very maybe.
-tenticle pasta: MAYBE :Pasta may be my one great love but again! Tentacles! Of unknown flavor and texture! I am fear.
-frog coutlets: YES :ah bread, the return of my savior! I could maybe also do the frog coutlets so long as it wasn't placed of the red wine tenticles. It's just like chicken right? Right? ;-;
-dragon meat: YES :first time I've ever seen something I 100% beleive I'd try in real life no caveats. That is the most succulent red meat I've ever seen. Like it's def tough so idk how long that enjoyment would last, but it's so worth a try. And wrose case there's decent pizza on the right!
Part 1: 9ish (pos 11) meals out of 17. So like, a bit over half? I'd survive at least!
(the 3 meals made from treasure bugs were counted as 1. The shakey maybe meals or heavy caveats were tallied as 1/2 meals. The extra 2 pos meals were for the tenticles.)
Fear and hunger x Dungeon meshi might look wierd at first but it honestly makes sense lol
FEAR & HUNGER MENTIONED 🗣️ 📣 🔥🔥🔥
i would probably eat treasure bugs if i kept them coin side up or couldn’t see any insect parts because they look so tasty but the bug part really puts me off
fear and hunger mentioned!!!
Mm, the music you got in the background during criteria part... I'm shocked I recognized it, whatever mihoyo's doing, the art and music teams did awesome job.
BREAD! BREAD! BREAD! BREAD! BREAD! BREAD! BREAD! BREAD!
3:45 it's a quiche, would recommend
