I FINALLY MADE Takumi's Limoncello Semifreddo from Food Wars!

[@Mirydar]

As an Italian, I must say this is a perfect semifreddo, probably very refreshing for a dessert in summer! Also, just as a little bit of Italian knowledge: we call it Limoncello, the word is formed Limon, from Limone which is Lemon in italian, and -cello which is a term we add to the end of a word to make it more endearing, directly translated is "Little Lemon/sweetie Lemon" :D

[@CHEFPKR]

I like that translation

[@HenSt-gz7qj]

basically Lemon-chan in Japanese XD

[@ashryver3605]

You know, a lot of the "food from anime" stuff tends to look a lot less...appealing than it's anime form. Paler, eg. But it is what it is, real life versus anime you know. But WOW, this one actually looks just - if not more - appetizing than the anime.

That's a cook and chef mind set, you go to all sort of length to make dish or a meal so you yourself will appreciate it more and likewise you would most likely criticised it more than others Unless the person eating your food is a better cook or is a chef, you might be in for some screaming (looking at you Gordon)

The camera angles, the whole kitchen being the gorgeous thing it is, him having so much more space to work with stuff, the way that the ingredients show up with the specific part of the dish that they're for, the clearly improved cameras he's shooting on, but this just has the vibe of a channel that's about to get so much bigger and I love that I've been here since pre 100k (wish I was here sooner but the algorithm didn't catch up with me soon enough :( so) but yeah I just love the new style of videos

That moment when he takes that first bite. You tell that in his mental imagery, the background lit up and his clothes faded away for a moment. It was so powerful that the only way to do it justice would be to slow down the part where the puts down the dessert and drops the spoon.

Just a pet-peeve: it's "Limoncello", not Lemonchello. It's a typical italian liquor, that is actually protected under several international laws.

[@crimsonking2874]

Why is it protected under international laws?

[@Moribax85]

@@crimsonking2874 Typical product. There's plenty of PDO, PGI, TSG products in the world. That's the reason why Parmesan cheese exists: if they called it Parmigiano (as it's the original name), they would be infringing on various international laws, as Parmigiano can only be made in a specific region in Italy, with specific milk from a specific breed of cows in a specific region of Italy, with a specific production methodology.

[@Moribax85]

@@crimsonking2874 it's not because it's better, it's because it's the original one, made in the original way, that's older than most countries. It's about protecting a typical product and its historic heritage

@@Moribax85 makes sense, those who wish to try it would be more for the rarity of it and its historical value. Italy is the one that focuses on protecting its food culture right. I know other countries do it as well but I always here more about it from Italy.
