    How Different Cultures Influence Food in Shokugeki no Soma: A Savory Analysis

    Just finished another binge watch of Shokugeki no Soma, absolutely struck by the beautiful way it integrates the variety of global cuisine cultures. Each dish featured in this epic culinary showdown carries the essence of the country it represents, be it the flamboyant French, creative Italian, traditional Japanese, or the 'hotpot' of American cuisine.

    One of the most impactful scenes has to be the monkfish preparation by Soma showcasing Icelandic cooking methods; it was a lesson in respecting the ingredient and leveraging what nature offers. Also, let's not forget the 'Ram Don' from Korea that hits close to home quite literally. Is anyone else impressed by the way this anime dives deep into each culture, serving us a delicious platter of diversity and culinary genius?

    Would love to hear about your favourite food culture from the series! Thoughts on how accurately they represented each cuisine? Let's stir up the discussion pot.

    P.S. After final exams, totally trying out some recipes from the show. Wish me luck!
