Foods

About
Foods in The Continent are varied and diverse. Most dishes are made with ingredients of one's environment, so plates served in the Helman Empire vary wildly from those of the Leazas Kingdom or from those with a different culture like JAPAN. There are some foods that are "universal" probably either due to their simplicity, or because materials for it are vastly found all over the continent. Breads are a good example of this.

Typically, insects are great sources of meals, and some Monsters are edible and can serve for delicious dishes. Pretty much anyone can cook but the higher one's Cooking skill level it is, the same meals will have a completely different flavour. Those with with higher skill level can prepare more complex and complicated meals, do it faster and are more delicious.

There is also a sub-skill called Confectionery that is more focused in making sweets, candies, cakes and other treats of that kind.

Henderopa
The Hendoropa is a meal that resembles a stew, made from the monster cockatrice's meat.

Sill’s specialty and one of Rance’s favorites. She ate some during the Kathtom Sinking Incident (Rance 02) at the bar and thought it was good so she started studying how to make it.

It isn’t a particularly high class food, but it’s very tasty and requires enough preparation to make the cook proud of themselves for it.

Uhaan
A high class dish that requires a very rare ingredient called Peach Apple, a beautiful apple that glows pink. There also seem to be low quality peach apples.

Zawas
A popular dish in Zeth, it’s made from fish and a plant called a zawa. It’s a flashy red dish, but contrary to its appearance, it isn’t spicy.

Tempura
The Tempura is the youkai tanukis’ favorite dish. Sill is good at preparing it and Tokugawa Ieyasu loves it. Covered in a golden, crunchy, crispy batter and fried.

Ingredients: Squidman, Sake, Sea bream, Ohohoufufu, etc.

Botan Nabe
Nabe made from the meat of a creature that lives in JAPAN’s mountains, the botan. An insect that resembles a pig.

Often prepared with miso flavoring.

Kimchi Nabe
A mysterious dish with an ingredient that can only be made by those with the name “Kimchi.”Spicy and delicious.

If you have the aptitude, your stats will improve when you eat it.

Mini Hanny Curry Sauté
The stinging and popping is the draw of mini hanny dishes.A skilled chef has to make sure that it doesn’t explode while he or she prepares the dish.

Body Sushi
Sashimi is made from fish monsters that have just hatched from eggs and grown a little bit and then served on top of a naked woman’s body as she lies face up.

It gets its flavor from the skin, so it’s very delicious.

It's a very high class dish. Rance likes to eat it with Pigu.

Natto
Natto is made from soy beans, fermented by the body of a girl wearing straw, traditionally from the independent state of Strawzend. The natto made by Strawzend royalty, using so-called "kingstraw", is very exclusive.

Body Natto
This natto is served on top of a naked woman's body, similar to Body Sushi. It's the most extravagant way to eat natto in Strawzend. One serving normally costs 20,000 gold. The serving girl may have anything done to her and is not allowed to complain or refuse.

Funyao Salad
A salad made with abundant monster eggs.If not eaten within five minutes of its preparation, it will go bad in no time.

Curry
A delicious liquid. Made by extracting a broth from a riverside fish (curry) and adding various seasonings.

Lately food companies have been selling curry powder and curry roux made from the broth so it can be easily made at home.

Udon
A white, squishy food. Fruit picked from the udon tree and left to sit overnight becomes “udon.”

The egg of the udon tree "Udon Egg" can also be eaten raw and is even more delicious. The udon egg used to be the egg of a vicious bird (Rance 4.2) but we’re changing its origin.

The curry fish is a new thing too.

Ramen
Noodles made by the gal monsters “Ramen,” “Babystar” and “Gold dragon”.

Even if you know the recipe you can’t make them unless you’re one of these three, so human shops stock up on the noodles and soup and prepare them together or sell them together.

Among ramen distributors, there are those who peacefully deal with these three and those who kidnap them and force them to work.

Curry Macarolo
Stew and gyouza inside french bread wrapped with udon. Tastes kind of strange.

Uroron
A terrible dish. Rance and Sill both dislike it.

The taste somehow sticks and scrapes and leaves you half dead. But there are those who like it.

Haniwa Soba
Cow meat and udon cooked on top of a fragment of a hanny. Eaten with sauce.

Most delicious when made with black hanny. Nouveau riche like to use golden hanny.

Goldfish Stew
On the menu at the employee cafeteria of the Happiness Pharmaceutical Company. Not particularly unusual.

There are many small bones and, thus, many people who don’t particularly like it.

Part of the A meal sold at Froncoise’s shop (Tasty Tasty Diner) on the floating city Ylapu.

Popular because of its wonderful texture (crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside), its scent, and its juiciness.

Frog On Rice
Slimy rice dish made by putting frogs mainly found in wells on top of rice.

Sold on the basis of “the taste of home,” but often the taste isn’t great.

Lard Fish Stew

If you eat the Black version with squid ink in it your mouth becomes pitch black.

Takoyakiyaki
Copandon’s favorite. Local cousine from the free city of Portugal. The latest trend is to fry it so that the outside is crunchy and the inside is soft (karitoro).

As a fun fact, if a Rommel, a mechanical monster capable of casting Holy Magic, fails an incantation for the "Tiger" spell, a takoyaki comes out instead. This is because the catalyst for a Tiger spell is the same as the components making up a takoyaki.

Kewpie
Simple food that can be made in three minutes. Made by combining a kewpie with various ingredients and casting a spell. Has a different taste every day.

But it disappears if you don’t eat it within three minutes.

It won’t go bad for almost two years so it's used as preserved food in other countries.
