Let's Try Smoking It Ourselves

I decided to actually try out the smoking method I'd learned from the bandits.

It was a little odd for the head chef of one of the Empire's most expensive restaurants to seriously research what bandits ate.

But cooking has one ironclad rule.

If it's delicious, you have to learn how to make it.

It doesn't matter whether it's a bandit camp, a shabby restaurant in a harbor, or a noble's villa.

It was the same in my previous life. There were flavors that could be learned only in the kitchen of an expensive restaurant, and flavors that could be learned only from a food stall or a market.

This time, the people who had those flavors were just unusually strange.

“So you're really going to do it?”

Marie asked as she looked at the smoking area.

“Yeah.”...
