“There’s no point in complaining about everything, so first—let’s think about the menu.”
Or rather… there’s an unbelievable amount of ingredients laid out here. Fresh vegetables, of course—but there were also several different kinds of meat.
“I see there’s yogurt and cheese as well.”
“We are beastman, after all. We are quite skilled in livestock management. In other regions as well, many beastman raise livestock.”
Ah, I see. That’s interesting. Because there are more beastman in this territory compared to others, dairy farming must be quite well developed.
“There’s quite a lot of oil here too. I even see soybean oil.”
“That is a specialty of the western frontier territory. We export a large quantity of it to the royal capital as well.”
With oil available, we can even make fried dishes.
Ideas were already starting to form.
“Then how about something like meat marinated in sauce, then grilled or deep-fried in a bold, hearty style?”
“Hoho… that does sound like something beastfolk would enjoy.”
“And we could also deep-fry vegetables and season them with salt, or use them as ingredients in curry.”
“Spices are greatly loved among beastman. Very well—let us begin at once.”
The head chef and the other cooks all showed interest in the dishes I suggested.
Alright—let’s get started with the cooking.
“First, let’s prepare a few types of marinade for the meat. It’s wonderful that we have both garlic and ginger available. We’ll start by mixing yogurt and curry spices with garlic and ginger, then marinate the chicken and orc meat for about an hour.”
“I will take it to the refrigeration magic device to rest.”
First up—an imitation tandoori chicken. With this, all you have to do is marinate it and bake it. It’s simple, yet effective.
“Next, let’s make French fries. Cut the potatoes, coat them lightly in flour, and fry them until crispy. Then finish with a sprinkle of salt.”
“They’re fluffy and delicious. And very simple to prepare as well.”
French fries really are incredibly simple yet unbelievably tasty. If we had paper containers, they’d be perfect for takeout, but I can’t exactly be greedy here.
“Now then, shall we make a vegetable-and-meat-packed curry?”
“We will handle that. Margrave-sama is especially fond of curry.”
So the Margrave is a real foodie, huh.And just like that, I left the curry to the chefs of the Margrave’s household.
