If that one place didn't give me a ratatouille moment with their margherita pizza I wouldn't be looking at margheritas everywhere else trying to reexperience that

no this one wasn't as good as the OG!

I would like @maggiemayhemnj to know that I think I finally have a pickled Peña idea that makes sense. I used the prompt, am looking up recipes that likely won’t be included, I’m just gonna use the dish.

Chucho has the pickles, is making use of them, Javier does not want to hear about it. 🤣🤣🤣 I gave him peace and used his father to traumatize him.

I just gotta find where this line fits and end it, not to touch it until January. 🫡 My mission is underway.

I don’t know what SpongeBob is doing with those pickles but it delights me. 🤣🤣🤣

I was walking around my local food market near my job yesterday and WTF is this. No seriously, WHO made this a cereal and who approved of it to be sold!?

“Nobunaga Gourmet” in Gifu

(a.k.a Nobunaga-labelled food items that actually has nothing to do with Nobunaga)

Gifu is probably the “Nobunaga capital” in Japan. He’s more celebrated there than places that can claim to be his “hometown” like Nagoya or Kiyosu. As such there are many food and other products that are named Nobunaga, but actually has nothing to do with him. 

It’s not a novelty product, or even a recreation of historical food from the Sengoku. It’s just that the name Nobunaga is so catchy, that people can’t help but use it.

This article reports on three such products (accompanying video can be watched on Youtube). 

Nobunaga Banana

Some legends say that the Europeans introduced the first bananas to Japan as part of the gifts they presented to Nobunaga, but this is not some sort of medieval cultivar. It’s actually a specialty strain bred to be sweeter than normal bananas, and with skin so thin that they claim you can eat it without peeling (like you would an apple).

The reporter did give it a try, and he said that it’s true! The inside is so sweet, and the skin thin enough that the texture and astringency didn’t detract from the flavour.

The farm that grew this breed said they named the banana “Nobunaga” in the hope that they can be successful in marketing and selling their produce, just like Nobunaga had succeeding in expanding his territories. 

As it happens, the restaurant in the Kinkazan ropeway (the ropeway that leads to Gifu Castle museum on top of the mountain) supplies their menu with these bananas as well. 

Nobunaga Shiitake mushrooms

(left: standard shiitake, right: Nobunaga shiitake)

These mushrooms are apparently not specifically bred. It’s just that due to the good farming environment, sometimes the mushrooms would just naturally grow that large. The farmer then decided to specifically pack the large ones together as a separate product than the standard-sized shiitake.

The name Nobunaga was actually rather arbitrary. When naming his product, the farmer gave it the name Nobunaga without really thinking, but it turns out to be rather popular, so it stuck. The reporter jokingly said “Gifu people must really love Nobunaga that much”. 

Nobunaga Ten-don (tempura rice bowl)

There’s a tempura specialty restaurant called Yanagase Tempura Club 柳ヶ瀬天ぷらクラブ in Yanagase Shopping Street in Gifu city. Among the many tempura rice bowl sets that they offer, they have this special menu that boasted a jumbo-sized prawn tempura 25 cm (about 9.8 inches) long. 

They wanted an impactful name that matches such an impressive-looking food item (the tempura is so huge it’s bigger than the bowl), so they named it “Nobunaga”. The massive tempura is flanked by two regular-sized prawn tempura, which they call “Hideyoshi” and “Mitsuhide”. 

They also have a “Dousan Ten-don”, featuring a conger eel tempura to represent the Nagara River and various seasonal vegetables for a rich and flavourful menu (inspired by the legends of Dousan being originally an oil merchant).

hehehehhe, was thinking about construction worker simon who goes to work every day just to show off the lunches you make him for work. and it soon becomes a huge thing and all his coworkers and even managers look forward to seeing what you've cooked cause it never seems to be the same. it's literally the only reason simon wakes up in the morning to go to work; he has everyone jealous and prances around all proud, then tells you all about when he comes home :(

Always Favors You

Another Sibling Danny and Jason idea!!

"Are you Jason Peter Todd?!" demanded a deep and commanding tone from the strange glowing being in front of them.

All the Bats stiffened and tensed, no doubt gearing up for a fight against the being that somehow knew Red Hood's full name.

Jason, Red Hood, decided to put on a brave front despite no doubt cursing in his head and wondering how the heck did this thing know his full freaking name.

"Whose asking." he snarled out, his hands twitching for his gun when the huge glowing knight with purple flames coming out of his helmet and cape, who was riding on a nightmare looking horse while they all had been in the cave going over tonight's patrol.

The Knight didn't seemed bothered by his response nor did he even seem to care or flinch when Batman made his own demand on 'Why was he there and who was he' or when Damian unsheathed his sword and pointed it towards him. Instead the strange glowing Knight reached to it side and pulled out... A glowing scroll? Huh. (Also he completely unnerved everyone in the room when the Knight didn't even react when Batman had tossed a Baterang when he reached for his side)

The Knight opened the scroll and spoke clearly with purpose.

"Jason Peter Todd,

You are hereby invited as a special guest of honor to the crowning of our future King of the Infinite Realms.

Daniel Phantom, once Daniel Jackson Fenton, and once Daniel Austen Todd.

Prince of the Infinite Realms, the Keeper of Balance, The Peacekeeping Halfa, the Defeater of the Tyrant King Pariah Dark, The Great One, Youngest of the Ancients, Ancient of Space, The Bridge between Life and Death.

You, the half-brother of our King, have been given the highest of honors for your past actions and will be given housing and food in the Realms and Phantom's Keep, for the week long event. Personal servants and attendants will be at your disposal and a seamstress will be on hand to tailor make your attire for the Coronation.

Signed: Clockwork. Ancient of Time. Watcher of the Infinite Timeline. Kronos. Mentor and Adviser.

PS: I shall have Fright Knight ("Me" the Knight bluntly said for a second) leave this scroll along with a personal one for you from Daniel to read over and once you make up your mind sign the bottom of the scroll.

I do hope in time you will pick the right choice Jason Todd, we of the Infinite Realms would like to reward you for your actions. After all, if you hadn't gotten young Daniel away from your father that night all those years ago, we would never had gained our Prince nor be free from our once Tyrant King.

Ah, one more thing.

The Infinite Realms will always favor you Jason."

Jason felt like he couldn't breath as Fright Knight? Rolled up the scroll, pulled a letter from his side, and held out the two items for him to take.
