Dungeon Meshi – Kitchen Battle #2

Two weeks have past since the first battle and I'm back to engage in the second one. This time I had to prepare a tart.
No (re)tards were involved.

The hurdle I had to get over was, that I had no idea what kind of fruits to use, since I'm ignorant as hell in that regard.
Staying faithful to my initial plan, I only worked with the fruits I'm familiar with, are easy to acquire and can be bought without paying a fortune.

I thought that it'd be a rather mundane and uneventful task at first, but I sure got told otherwise after I actually started working in the kitchen.

And as before, I don't want my fellow meshifags, who might have planned dishes too, feel discouraged. Rather, I want you to cookpost. I feel lonely.

Looking at the chapter we only had a handful of ingredients and one issue. The problem was, that Senshi added an ingredient which I didn't have anymore:

>the scorpion soup
I didn't have any of my original one left and cheating with a crab or scorpion broth didn't feel great either, but I got around that problem by replacing the soup with regular quark and eggs.
I needed something to bind, thicken, the ingredients I was about to use. The tart wouldn't keep its solid form otherwise, even with gelatin. So I added quark and eggs to my list.

>Baraselia
No fucking idea. The only thing that came to mind and which made sense to me, was to regard it as an apple. With that I got my main ingredient: apples.

>Mearauk
The slices looked more like a tomato than anything else, but the fruit as a whole resembled more a cherry and so went with the latter – morelly cherries.

>Betahn
Since Betahn is used as a topping and part of the créme, I tried to think of a fruit which, I knew, was used a lot in that way. The answer was either orange or peach. I went with both.

>Slime
Slime was used as gelatin, so I went with gelatin.


Translation wasn't as good as I wanted it to be, mainly due to the scorpion soup, but that shouldn't keep us down.

First I had to deal with the greatest obstacle of them all. The crust, which was the substitute for the dough. Pealing an apple the normal way was out of the question. After some tries I found the best method.

Cutting an apple in half and spooning out the flesh. It was way easier than I thought; however, that was only the beginning and the difficulty came right after that.

I had two hollowed halfs of an apple. Flattening them resulted in tearing the skin apart. After many trials and errors I found a technique I could use. Removing the top, bottom, left and right side. That way I got three peaces I could work with.

The apples' meat got mashed and squeezed to get rid of its water. Quark, two eggs, orange and peach (diced as good as possible) were mixed in.

The apple skin was perforated and laid out into the pie pan, covering the whole base and sides. After that I put the apple créme on top and spread it evenly. I put it in the oven at 180°C. I set my watch for a 15 minutes cycle.

Now we wait.

And wait.

And wait.

After 45 minutes I put the morello cherries on top and put it back in the oven and suddenly I had an apple pie. Another 45 minutes passed and I considered it long enough.

Cutting the tart-cake-pie and removing one piece of cake for tasting purposes.

DEKIAGATTA!

It tasted really good. The natural sweetness and sourness of the apples, oranges and peaches was enough and didn't require any additional sugar at all. The quark added a creamy yet neutral note to the overall taste.

The result was pretty good, considering that I only ever bake a cake during Christmas and never tried a pie or tart. Again I learned a lot. Looking back I made quite a few mistakes. I didn't put the tart on the lowest line inside the oven for the entire time, which resulted in a rather squashy apple skin layer. Letting it cool down made the base more solid, mitigating the mistake. I added too little quark, which made the apple flavor the stronger one of the two main ingredients.

Nonetheless I had a lot of fun yet again. I'll see you on the third battlefield.

Thanks user. Now I'm hungry. It doesn't help that there's still 3 weeks to go before the next chapter.

I'm hungry too.
>It doesn't help that there's still 3 weeks to go before the next chapter.
One dish should be possible. The only way to bridge the wait.

Yoo, this looks great. It's not quite apple picking season where I'm at, but I'll definitely give it a go in a few weeks.

These threads are a blessing, especially during the hiatus.

>but I'll definitely give it a go in a few weeks.
Good! Have fun. Be sure to post some pics too.

...

Roasted chicken is next, right?
>laughing_black_cook.ogg

That other healer elf girl is cute. Maybe cuter than Marcille, even.

Is it Marcille or Marsilla or Marushiru?
>Maybe cuter than Marcille
No.
Get out of this thread.

Marcille is better for lewd than cute, you know it to be true.

>Lewding Marcille
Get out now.
There's even only one decent doujin.

Disgusting? Did someone really draw this and think that it looked good?

>decent
That doujin is god tier, I don't know what you're talking about.

Even if so, it's literally the only fappable out there.
I know you meant to quote me familia

NOW THIS IS MY KIND OF CONTENT

What is this spin trying to convey?

Desperation for a good _meal__

You are doing the lords work. I'm reminded of when I attempted my own feast based around the Redwall novels.

General question to the thread? Are we saving these threads in picture form?

I want to see more elves in this manga. Even male elves

I didn't catch the first one, but here's something I threw together in paint.

Elf(male) is extremely rare in the wild.

>Elf(male) is extremely rare in japanese fiction
FTFY

But can she uses ancient and forbidden magic to recreates a person from bones and dragon blood?

Yes.

>burnt apple skin
It looks tasty (like crispy apple chips) and inedible at the same time.

Amazing OP, great job!

Next time, please do the imouto recipe!

>kill your dog and wait for it rot
>go to grave yard
>dig up body, preferably girl

serves one

That looks quite dry, I'd imagine it would taste divine with some whipped cream.

How do you do it Cred Forums?

Easiest solution is actually really dungeon meshi, just hang around someone that can cook.

Good job, OP. It would be interesting to see some living-jewelry sweets or something. Chocolate and food dye, I guess?

Wherever you live, i will locate.
I will find you. I will visit you. And then i'll make you cook for me.
I'll give you some tasty beer, whiskey or something in return. Or i'll do the cleanup.

They actually make jewel candy you know. It's mostly sugar.

Though, there are species of jewel bugs.

Also, some bugs are edible.

Yea, apparently they even have complicated stuff like this. Didn't know that.

now just superglue some cricket/spider legs on that and report back how it tastes

I would not recommend eating superglue.

However, I've eaten some sort of dried salted bugs from Mexico once. Tasted like salty dust.

Use extra thick syrup as glue.

This thread went from tasty to disgusting as fuck real fast.

>bugs
>disgusting
Try it Cred Forumsnon. You will change your mind.

I don't have any more disgusted Marcille pictures but I would post them if I had now, believe me.

There is always this.

Awesome as always. Where did you learn to cook so good, user?

Bugs are surprisingly tasty.
Though i didn't try to outlandish stuff.

No, post them all, my folder needs them.

...

What part of "I don't have any more" didn't you understand, user?

I don't care, do something.

So will the october release be super spoopy since halloween?

You were getting real desperate so I drew you this rare smug MS Paint Marushiru here you go

Apple pie it's awful, cooked apples are even worst.

So what's going on in here? I thought the manga was fairly popular, why are there only a handful of posters?

You had threads reaching post limit before. It's just that there isn't anything new to talk about, except posting elf faces.

The DM crowd only gathers during chapter spoilers/releases.

Also, a month break doesn't help.

Much appreciated. how did you accomplish this so I can hopefully do the same for later threads?

No chapter until October so there isn't much to talk about.

I love it when a hentai artist actually captures the spirit of the source material.

Snipping tool, ctrl+v, and good ol' ms paint.

thought so, was hoping for something a little faster but beggers can't be choosers.
