A Stay At Home Dad's Restaurant In An Alternate World Volume 2 Chapter 856 Is It That Bad?
Amy, Sally, and the others were also all looking at Mag with curiosity in their eyes. The new dish hadn't been prepared for breakfast this morning, so all of them were wondering just what this new "stinky tofu" dish was.
"Is it tofu pudding that smells bad?" Amy asked.
"Is it when you remove the brains from tofu1, then make it stinky?" Babla also chimed in with an inquisitive look on her face.
"Is it actually stinky?" Sally asked in a rather concerned manner. As an elf, she had a mild case of mysophobia.
How do I put this Mag thought to himself as he looked at everyone's intrigued expressions. Stinky tofu was a very contentious and controversial dish. Those who loved it treated it like a prized treasure, while those who didn't avoided it like the plague.
Mag had once been one of the people that belonged to the latter group. There were some misunderstandings involved there, but if it weren't for the fact that he'd been forced to bask in the putrid aroma of stinky tofu in the test field for the God of Cookery for so long, he most likely still wouldn't have been able to accept its stinky odor.
However, after making a portion of the perfect stinky tofu, Mag had completely changed his mind. Stinky tofu was a very prevalent and renowned dish, and there had to be a reason for this.
Mag contemplated his answer for a moment before replying, "This is a dish with a distinctive and pronounced flavor. It's very stinky, but if you were to carefully pick apart its aroma, you'd find that it has a rich and unique fragrance. After tasting it, you'll realize that it's an irresistibly delicious dish. It may not suit everyone's tastes, but those who like it will love it. However, it's not very suitable to be consumed for breakfast, so I didn't make it for you."
"I want to eat it! I want to eat it!" Amy raised a little hand high up into the air as she yelled, "I can only smell the rich and unique aroma! I really want to eat stinky tofu!"
A gentle and doting look appeared in Mag's eyes as he looked at Amy's expectant expression. He then turned to everyone else, and asked, "Does anyone else want to try it? Before you make your decision, I must warn that the flavor of this dish is quite heavy, and those who are sensitive to foul odors should exercise discretion before deciding whether to try it or not."
"I'll pass." Sally immediately shook her head.
"I'll pass as well." Babla also shook her head. She liked things that smelled good, and she couldn't accept foul-smelling foods.
"C-can I try it?" Yabemiya asked in a cautious and feeble voice as if she were worried that she'd made the wrong decision.
"Alright, so that's two portions of stinky tofu. I'll make them separately for the two of you after breakfast." Mag nodded with a smile. A dish with such an overpowering flavor should be eaten at the end of a meal. Furthermore, there was no guarantee that the two of them would still have the appetite for breakfast if they were to eat stinky tofu first.
After breakfast, Mag entered the kitchen to make stinky tofu.
Amy and Yabemiya were looking at Mag through the entrance of the kitchen with expectant expressions on their faces, while Sally and Babla were standing slightly further away, casting their eyes toward the kitchen with slightly wary expressions.
"System, activate the molecular isolation system. Isolate the area where stinky tofu is made from the rest of the kitchen, and also isolate all of the individual tables in the restaurant," Mag instructed internally, and then removed the lid of the brine jar after receiving an affirmative response from the system.
