Somehow I am jaded enough to expect the same “intelligent selection” of suggested content to be attached to an article on “food poisoning.”

When I visited the Ghibli Museum in Japan a couple years ago, they had an entire wing dedicated as a temporary exhibit on the food in Miyazaki’s films. Much the same content as the article, but more and with models and a recreation of a kitchen from one of the films, tatami mat and all (had to remove shoes to pass through).

It’s worth noting that food has a huge and often unappreciated role in Tolkien.

My daughter started writing a Ghibli cookbook about a year ago! Serious Eats is my favorite cooking site. I’ll have to show her this.

I first watched Princess Mononoke in a fansubbed version where the subtitles had been affected by some sort of error that, among other things, replaced capital E at the start of a word with capital B.
At one point, Mononoke is offering Ashitaka a piece of dried meat and telling him “Eat.”
Or, in this version, “Bat”.

My favorite anime food was always the huge, ridiculously elaborate parfait. I often wonder if these are a real thing you can actually get in Japan.
Awwww yeah.
EDIT: Evidently so!

“Po-ta-toes! Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew - even you couldn’t say no to that!”
You will notice no mention of french fries.

Sigh. I miss the food in Japan. I’d even be happy with a Japanese Denny’s nearby.

The second season of Midnight Diner features end-credits recipes. I’ve already made “Salmon & Mushrooms” and the cabbage rolls. Both are to die for.

Seventeen posts. 17. And not one of you has mentioned Ponyo shouting “Ham!” or passing out after eating noodles! (Which is how my girlfriend got her nickname of “Ponyo”, though as a vegetarian she never shouts for ham with such delight.)
