Dungeon Meshi | Common ingredients and where they come from

✔️Beautiful foods

✔️RPG everywhere

✔️Touch of reality for those who think steak grows on trees

 

And that basically sums up for me the basis for this new anime that I recently discovered and I had no idea that there was a manga a long time ago, which talks about fantasy....RPG....and I don't know, friendship maybe, but most importantly FOOD!

 

First of all, as a person who has been heavily reducing meat consumption in recent years, this is not an anime for everyone, yes, it contains animals turning into food. Nonetheless, this is where what for me is the best part of this anime comes in, you see, for some time now I have been realizing that we are increasingly moving away from how the most basic things in our daily lives are made, clothes, utensils, art, technology and especially food, you have probably seen some news that in certain places people don't know that milk comes from cows, or that there are beautiful bacon plantations, and that an apple needs to be industrially treated before eating after picking it from the tree, well, I'm not going to say that this is a goal by capitalism of distancing people from things......but it kind of is.



And so, wow, besides making this art, I thought why not make a mockup as if it were a food making game! Perfect for enjoying some free time.


And that's where I come to the point that I loved about this anime, the great little Senshi, firstly his character design was the first thing that caught me and the second was his love for food (which I share a lot) and what's more Importantly, respect for her.


If this isn't the pinnacle of character design I don't know what is.

Throughout the anime (I've only seen 6 episodes so far guys) we are shown something that many people don't know in these internet times that we live, where food comes from. Senshi has immense respect for this process, he shows us how the ecosystem works in that fantastic world, showing that the best way to stay in that environment is to coexist and understand that world in a respectful way.


I'm having a lot of fun with the anime, I hope a lot of people get this touch of reality, it might even make some people rethink their eating habits and maybe even stop eating animal products, I'm at least trying that path, but I believe that the best way for this to happen is for people to reconnect with their own food, and understand and respect where it comes from.


So, I've already said too much today, a good breakfast/lunch/dinner for you, and I hope this message of a cartoon about delicious foods has reached your stomachs. ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ𓐐𓎩 ‧₊˚ ⋅
