Fried Bear from Food Wars! | Anime with Alvin

[@Nathan-hk5xp]

For those who don't know; the mangaka for Food Wars consulted with actual chefs when making recipes for the manga (and later, the anime). The main contributing chef was Yuki Morisaki.

[@RainbowAnimeCupcake]

Which is also why when she went on maternity leave and the publisher insisted the mangaka continue the story without her for one more arc the recipes turned…weird..

I appreciate the way the main character handled this. Brining out the meat's flavor is the best course of action. If you're hiding the meat's natural flavor then why even use that meat? I've eaten wild game my entire life and I've often told people, if you want the flavor of beef then use beef, but don't try to make wild game taste like beef.

[@sushilghosh9907]

I've never had wild game but I 100% agree. It seems like a waste to try to mask the flavour of something. If I don't like the taste of certain things, I'd simply not use them or eat them.

[@AnnoyingSquib]

I agree. I feel if you are trying to mask the gaminess of the animal you are sort of disrespecting them. Either bring out it's potential or don't use game meat.

[@josephcatania3955]

To be fair, bear kinda does taste like beef on its own.

[@maniak942]

@@josephcatania3955 yeah for Bear Grylls everything tastes like chicken. Bear is much fattier in taste and tougher meat that beef. By tougher I mean it takes longer to break it's muscular structure (like all carnivores meat).

I never expected to see this anime trope explored through food. By only describing the flavors of the two dishes you can already tell who is the villain (By going to extreme measures to reject and bury the qualities of their unique ingredient) and who is the hero (who embraces the difficult traits of their ingredient and works to harmonize with it). Not exactly stretching for an original trope, but certainly the most unique execution of it I've ever seen.

[@Aqsticgod]

yk ive never seen this anime being put like that and i agree, its certainly a unique version of the trope, and not to say that the "villains" are actual villains, just that the hero has a point of view they dont have. its kinda whacky but it works xD

@@vancearama except that last (maybe 2) arcs where i think the chef consultant either quit or had other stuff to do, which for me kinda makes sense idk of it was just fatigue on my part for the show but towards the later moments it got a bit too rediculous and convoluted for me including the dishes. I love anime and i work in the kitchen for a living, i loved the earlier parts because all dishes made sense and were believable but very creative but towards the end of the show i kept losing interest more and more

[@NobodyButEdj]

@@harold926 I heard the consultant is on maternity leave by the final arc, so that's probably it.

Yeah she went on maternity leave and due to lowering sales, the publisher wanted it to end, so no time to find another assistant. If you notice, the author had to use a lot of previous knowledge in the final arcs and didn’t show too much cooking either. I think the only dishes that might have been finalized before was the final 2 dishes of the series.

Like most game and gamey meat I'd suggest soaking it in milk for a day or two. It really does work. Then marinate it. I do believe the sake Alvin used is made near where my old school in Kobe was.

When cooking/baking any game, I like to leave at least some of the gaminess to taste. Then you actually know what you are eating. But it is also nice to make the gaminess so subdued, you do not know you are eating game; you just notice an unusual flavor, especially with ground game.

I like lamb, which I've heard is on the milder side for gaminess? I like a slight gaminess, but not too much.

😢 I literally felt tears in my eyes when Alvin used the actual ingredients for this video. The bear meat, the five flavor berries (forgot the real name 😚), the juniper berries, the whole nine yards.

Love seeing the Food Wars! recipes. Makes my day bearable. Waka Waka I am a dad I do not regret that joke.

On seeing the title, I thought this would be some grizzly content. It was the polar opposite! Highest koala-ty 10/10.

[@mightybellarts]

I’m super impressed with the amount of work that went into this video! I love this series ❤️

[@christianperez7846]

The fact the dishes work this well in application is really cool.

[@SD-uw7zu]

Can you make some chili dogs from the sonic series? It’s the series 31st anniversary!

[@Солнечныйсвет-ш2у]

YESS!!

This is among the most ridiculous foods ever featured on this channel, and among the best KZbin videos. I'm obviously never going to make anything like these fried bear or bear burger patties, but it's fun to watch Alvin try to make absurd food while also cracking bear puns the whole time.

[@erichvereen1988]

I find myself watching this channel more for Alvin than Babish. I'm an anime nut anyway, and I love those who try to recreate anime food. Is that bad? Also, the bear puns were bear-ly bear-able. Thanks Alvin! Keep up the great work.

"legally sourced" oh right I was so worried you were poaching bears. i think that was the wrong way to do chicken-frying, you'd want to do it pretty similarly to the katsu... no big deal though. this makes for better variety between the two dishes. Just something to keep in mind if you make fried chicken sometime, or regular chickenfried steak.

I'm so glad we get a constant stream of these. I joined the BCU because of babish, but these days I stay for Alvin.

[@kamilczerniak4175]

Wonder if we could get some dishes that are made in psychonauts 2 during a level called " Compton's cookoff. ". It would be really cool!

[@Qwertylol]

Oh man, I forgot about Psychonauts, that game was great

[@Wubsy96]

I first read the title as Fredbear and I thought "Wow, Daddy Babby is tackling FNaF now?"

[@CookingKun]

Wonderful ! I will definitely try this 😍😍😍😍

[@thatguy1094]

If I get a black bear this season, I’m definitely making this.

[@purpleYamask]

(Doofenshmirtz voice) If I had a nickel for every time a BCU Dish randomly used bear meat, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice-

[@Birb_of_Judge]

I love the fact that all the dishes in food wars are actually cookable

[@cookinglees]

I haven't tried this yet. Looks so delicious 😍😍😍

[@faeryb0mb]

I forgot how much I loved that character with the spice knowledge

[@Music-Man189]

So, is Babish dead? He no longer shows up on his own channel...

[@TheSiriusEnigma]

Fun fact: even in the anime, there is a mention that “competitive cooking” needs to put an heavy emphasis on “punch in the face” type of taste. It’s a different way of cooking.
