Most of the middle school teenagers have a dream of "traveling to another dimension": to start an adventure in a strange world where elves and magicians coexist, collect a harem by the way, and accidentally save the entire other world. universe.

But if I am a timid and weakling, I will definitely only get a quick lunch if I travel to the past. If you don’t know how to kill monsters or use magic, then what skills can you use to conquer other worlds?

Don’t panic! We also have foodie skills!

So I would like to recommend a few comic books about food from another world to everyone - but since they are all Japanese comics, all Japanese home-cooked dishes appear. It can also be called "How Japanese food can save another world"...< /p>

The original light novel is also translated as "A Wandering Gourmet from Another World with Extraordinary Skills". Currently, the Taiwanese version of the light novel has published its first volume.

The setting is novel and combined with modern online shopping, which makes it more immersive. The protagonist thinks about how to save his life and has a lot of excitement (yes! When traveling to a different world, of course, saving your life is the priority!), It’s quite exciting to look forward to the next plot development.

The story tells that the male protagonist, as a 27-year-old ordinary office worker, was suddenly summoned to a different world of swords and magic one day - but he was not the chosen hero! But he is just a person from another world who was involved. Compared with other brave men who have advanced skills such as holy swords and magic, this ordinary person from another world only has one inherent skill - online shopping.

So he used this function to start the process of conquering the mythical beasts and harem (?) in another world...

From the beginning, the male protagonist showed off his cooking skills. The simple otherworldly ham soup + bread conquered the Brave Guardians. "People feel refreshed when they encounter delicious food" - It turns out that in a different world, eating delicious food can really improve your attributes. It is very Japanese RPG setting~

Next, there is "Ginger Sauce Stir-fried Pork" "Iwatori Teriyaki" and "Red Python Short Rib Rice Bowl" have appeared one after another. If you eat Japanese food as often as I do, you also know that although these dishes use ingredients from another world, they still correspond to Japanese food. "Ginger Sauce Stir-fried Pork", "Teriyaki Chicken" and "Eel Rice Bowl".

In terms of online shopping skills, online prices are much cheaper than real prices (Alibaba?). It seems that the male protagonist can make a lot of money as a guild merchant instead of being a warrior. Some of the settings about the guild are quite interesting. I look forward to the follow-up plot development~

This has also been adapted into animation before. It tells the story of a Western restaurant that has been run since my grandfather's generation. Monday On Fridays it is just normal business, but on Saturday it is "special business" - welcoming guests from another world on the other side of the door.

Among these guests from other worlds are elves, magicians, orcs, and even dragons... However, no matter how superb their skills and magic are, everyone will become a gourmet in this restaurant, and every episode Being able to give very vivid explanations of the dishes you eat is also awesome.

Since they are all Japanese food, how can we miss out on the izakaya? Currently, three volumes of the Taiwanese version have been published.

The setting of this comic is very similar to that of "Another World Canteen", in that they are also diners from another world.

However, unlike canteens that are scattered across different worlds through limited-time dimensional gates, Ashin Izakaya is fixed in a certain small town, and it feels like the audience of diners described is slightly narrower; It may also be limited to the fact that the description of the food in an izakaya is not vivid enough.

I also read this comic, and I think it can be called "My Mary Sue Journey in Another World"

The heroine was inexplicably summoned to another world (completely There is no clear mission call, and there is no opportunity to travel, such as being hit by a car or falling into the toilet. In short, the heroine wakes up and goes to a different world...).

Then he was taken in by a wealthy family and had good food and drink without having to fight or kill him. However, the heroine found the food too unpalatable - so she started cooking and showed off her cooking skills, even in a different world. He opened a coffee shop (the funds for opening the coffee shop and the store came from the support of the adoptive family, which shows that time travel and reincarnation are both technical tasks), and he also met the hero of the knight with facial paralysis. The male protagonist voluntarily gave up his career to become an apprentice in the female protagonist's shop, and faced difficulties with the female protagonist, etc. Oh, why did the food comic that was promised suddenly become so Mary Sue?

Most other world settings are still set in the Middle Ages, so what did people in the Middle Ages eat on a daily basis?

Take medieval Europe as an example -

The livestock raised cannot be eaten; cattle need to plow the land, sheep need to produce hair and milk, chickens, ducks and geese need to produce eggs - all An important source of income;

Religion strictly requires meat-eating time, for example, it is forbidden to eat meat on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and during Lent;

Hunting? The prey belongs to the territorial lord...

So except for the rich nobles, most of the people at the bottom really don't often have access to meat.

The staple food is bread baked with wheat flour mixed with a lot of bran. A small amount of rice is imported, and pasta is concentrated in Italy.

Baking technology is underdeveloped and the flour is not refined, so the bread produced is very hard and is said to be unpalatable.

Potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers are still in America.

Then it is said that fruits were considered by doctors at that time to be cold foods and must be eaten stewed.

(The above information is collected from the Internet. If there is any inaccuracy, please point it out)

From this point of view, it is really understandable why Japanese food is so popular in other worlds.

If you go to another world for Chinese food, you will probably dominate the entire universe. However, given the material conditions at the time, without the assistance of online shopping skills or dimensional gates, it would be difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
