When you have a meal from a place you like and know, then have that same meal from a similar place, and it's different.
Like, the recipes for these kungs pao chicken are quite different. One has much more flavour for example, while the other lacks flavour for bitterness/texture, it makes up for it by sheer quantity of reasonable chicken and veg - like twice the volume of the first place.
Can't complain either way, but sheesh, flavour is so important. Like I don't necessarily want to go back to that meal, even though it was fine - it was just... Lacking.
Also Dungeon Meshi was good this week! Can't believe how far we're in. 24 episode season, that'll cover the entire manga I think, at the pace we're going! Maybe. Might be two seasons. Depends on how long the Dragon takes. Loving the long-season-short-episodes though! Always craving just that little more than we get each week!
