Isekai ni Demodori Shimashita? Chapter 11 (1/2)

Chapter 11 –  The First Dinner

By punctured coin, I a.s.sume she means the old Asian/current j.a.panese style coins. Basically like American coins, but with a hole in the middle.

“Innkeeper, thank you for the tea. It was delicious.”

When I reached the dining room, I called out towards the kitchen.

“That’s fine. I’m glad it suited your taste.”

The innkeeper gave a light smile and took the tray from the Squad Chief, before heading back to the kitchen.

“Dinner for three, please.”

The Prince spoke to a nearby employee (the daughter of the innkeeper?), and sat down at an empty table.

The Squad Chief sat down at the table as well, so I also vaguely decided to sit down as well.

Somehow or other I ended up listening to them talk about the bandits from today, and the knight squad, before our food was carried to us.

“Tonight is bread with grilled herb chicken, and a vegetable and sausage stew.”

When I looked at the food, the innkeeper explained them to me.

Since I was hungry, I decided to immediately begin eating.

If you looked around, the other two at the table were already eating.

“Itadakimasu.”

After bringing my hands together in thanks, I tasted the food.

One by one, I took a bit of each of the foods, and chewed them.

After that, I took one of the pieces of bread from the basket in the middle of the table, and tearing off a little, I tried eating it.

“…”

I had forgotten…

The taste of the food was no different from in the knowledge of my old life.

In other words, it was not tasty.

It was by no means bad tasting. For the sake of protecting the honour of this shop, I have to say that it’s tasty for this world.

But to this tongue of mine that has gotten used to the food of j.a.pan, it’s not food that can satisfy me.

MSG doesn’t exist in this world, but the way you use herbs and spices can greatly affect the taste of the cooking.

I know from the knowledge of my old life that the herbs and spices in this world are basically the same as those on earth.

In this world, most of those are used in medicine or talismans, and there’s no concept of using them in cooking.
