Tyranny of Steel

culinary talent was available in a remote region like Tyrol. Seeing the satisfied expression on Arethas ’ face as he dug into the veal schnitzel, Berengar could not prevent himself from asking about the man ’s opinion.

”So, what do you think about Tyrolean cuisine? ”

After being asked such a question, Arethas slowly chewed on the food and savored its taste before washing it down with a doppelbock beer. Since Berengar first established his breweries, the first batch of doppelbock beer had recently been released. As a beer connoisseur, Berengar was quite pleased with the result. It was apparent by the look on the Byzantine nobleman ’s face that he was not the only one who enjoyed the hearty taste of the strong German beer. It was only after several moments had passed and Arethas had time to enjoy the serving he had just devoured that he was able to answer Berengar ’s question.

”Truly, it is sublime. I have not had such a fantastic foreign meal in years. The last time I had such an exquisite dish from a foreign country was when I visited India! ”

Growing up in a globalized world from his previous life, Berengar was quite accustomed to eastern-style foods. He was a big fan of curry from various countries, including India; as such, his mouth salivated thinking about having a curried rice dish. Berengar had once experimented with eating curried rice with tortilla chips in his previous life, acting as if the rice dish was a dip. It turned out to be quite tasty; at least in his opinion, of course, everyone else thought he was a weirdo for doing such a thing.
