I've finished<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;removing all of the tendons.<br>**[00:56] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That's... the thigh.<br>**[00:58] Megu**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The thigh?<br>**[01:01] Megu**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He's covering the venison with minced onions<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; and garlic and letting them marinate.<br>**[01:06] Megu**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He's making the meat even softer<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;while increasing its aroma.<br>**[01:10] Hisako**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But he's up against the very best...<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the Elite Ten's First Seat, Tsukasa Eishi.<br>**[01:16] Hisako**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He's not going to stand a chance<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; using any standard methods.<br>**[01:21] Erina**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yukihira-kun, if you lose,*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you'll have to join Central.*<br>**[01:25] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*If that happens...*<br>***SIGN***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Food Wars

<br>**[03:06] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, yeah. I need to get that stuff out.<br>**[03:09] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What's the matter, Yukihira?<br>**[03:11] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There's one other ingredient<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that my dish definitely needs.<br>**[03:15] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And it's in your bag?<br>**[03:16] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Let's see, where did I put it...<br>**[03:18] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This isn't it. Nope. Not this either.<br>**[03:21] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, here it is. Now I'm set.<br>**[03:23] [SONG] Sign**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sweet Roasted Chestnuts<br>

<br>**[03:24] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sweet chestnuts!<br>**[03:26] Both**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What?!<br>**[03:28] Hisako**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He's seriously thinking of doing<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;one of his experiments now?<br>**[03:30] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tadokoro-san, what is that? "We Shelled 'Em?"<br>**[03:34] Megu**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;U-Um, it's a snack that<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; uses shelled chestnuts.<br>**[03:38] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Chestnuts...<br>**[03:40] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An ingredient that goes well with wild game.<br>**[03:42] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pairing venison with chestnuts isn't<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;rare at all in French cuisine.<br>**[03:46] Hisa**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But the problem is that it's a snack.<br>**[03:50] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I highly doubt this will help<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;create a legitimate dish.<br>**[03:56] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, this?<br>**[03:57] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm going to stop heating it<br>**[03:59] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for a moment, cover it<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;with a bowl, and let it rest.<br>**[04:02] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Steam will rise within the bowl<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and spread throughout the meat.<br>**[04:06] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then I'll just heat it up in<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the oven once again right before<br>**[04:08] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I serve it, and it'll be complete.<br>**[04:09] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, I see. This is really educational.<br>**[04:13] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I didn't learn that from Master Shinomiya.<br>**[04:17] Hisa**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This is no time to be in awe!<br>**[04:19] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You truly are strange, Yukihira.<br>**[04:23] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You think so?<br>**[04:24] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But are you doing okay?<br>**[04:26] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unusual ingredients alone won't be<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;enough to create an actual dish.<br>**[04:31] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, then let me apologize in advance.<br>**[04:35] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because I think I'm probably<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;going to surprise you again.<br>**[04:42] Megu**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A charcoal brazier?!<br>**[04:43] Hisa**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He's cooking French cuisine with charcoal?!<br>**[04:45] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Good, good. This is just<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;about the right temperature.<br>**[04:48] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll just finish it up right now.<br>**[04:49] Hisa**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The topic is French cuisine!<br>**[04:52] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Do you understand that?!<br>**[04:54] Megu**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Arato-san, if you shout<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;like that, they'll hear us!<br>**[04:57] Hisa**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That might work to lightly<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;sear the outside of fish,<br>**[05:02] Hisa**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but I've never seen French cuisine<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;where they used charcoal to cook<br>**[05:06] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;meat from start to finish!<br>**[05:08] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;However...<br>**[05:09] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's true that there are benefits<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;from cooking with charcoal.<br>**[05:13] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The temperature of the surface of<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that charcoal exceeds 600 degrees.<br>**[05:16] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If he fans the flames,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; it'll get close to a thousand degrees.<br>**[05:19] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On top of that, the infrared<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;radiation that the charcoal emits<br>**[05:22] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;will heat the meat directly.<br>**[05:24] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That venison will end up with a<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;crispy outside and a juicy center.<br>**[05:30] Hisa**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But Erina-sama...<br>**[05:32] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;True, it will be difficult to incorporate the<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; bitter charcoal aroma into French cuisine.<br>**[05:40] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Which means that he might try<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to create a new French dish<br>**[05:45] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that only he, Yukihira Soma, could prepare.<br>**[05:56] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All right, Tsukasa-senpai,<br>**[05:57] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;let's finish this battle.<br>**[06:02] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dig in.<br>**[06:05] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sure. I'll have a bite.<br>**[06:08] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh!<br>**[06:09] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I just realized... We haven't figured out<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;how we're going to judge this thing.<br>**[06:13] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Well, we're the only ones here,<br>**[06:15] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;so we'll probably have<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; to taste each other's dishes.<br>**[06:18] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hey! Will you guys taste them?<br>**[06:21] All**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He knew we were here!<br>**[06:22] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You startled me! Were you<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;there this whole time?!<br>**[06:25] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why were you guys hiding in the first place?<br>**[06:27] Megu**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Huh? W-Well, you know...<br>**[06:30] Megu**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Wait, why were we hiding?<br>**[06:32] Hisa**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Well, that's because Erina-sama...<br>**[06:34] Megu**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why?<br>**[06:34] Megu**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why was that, Erina-sama?<br>**[06:36] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I-I don't know either!<br>**[06:38] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then let's have them judge.<br>**[06:41] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This works out perfectly.<br>**[06:43] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Well, we'll be counting on you guys.<br>**[06:45] Hisa**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;W-Wait a second, Yukihira.<br>**[06:47] Hisa**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There's no way that we can<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;accept that offer so easily.<br>**[06:50] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Huh? Why?<br>**[06:51] Hisa**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Depending on how we judge this,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you might end up in Central.<br>**[06:56] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But you know there's no way that I<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;could back down after what he said.<br>**[07:00] (Flashback) Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hmm, but I guess Central's long-term goal...<br>**[07:05] (Flashback) Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is to shut down all the<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;restaurants in Japan.<br>**[07:09] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have to settle things<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;right here, right now.<br>**[07:14] Megu**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Soma-kun...<br>**[07:15] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Very well.<br>**[07:16] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you insist, I will be the judge.<br>**[07:20] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yukihira-kun, serve us your dish.<br>**[07:23] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Got it.<br>**[07:25] Hisa**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Erina-sama...<br>**[07:26] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You two should also<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; honestly judge the dishes.<br>**[07:34] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;First, the aroma.<br>**[07:37] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's very rich because<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of the charcoal, but...<br>**[07:49] Hisa**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Th-This is...<br>**[07:52] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Such a plump, fun texture.<br>**[07:55] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The mildly sweet aroma from the chestnuts...<br>**[07:58] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That flavor, combined with<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the charcoal-grilled venison,<br>**[08:00] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is further bringing out<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the juiciness of the meat.<br>**[08:04] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This couldn't have been<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;done with normal chestnuts.<br>**[08:06] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This was only capable because<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;they were sweet chestnuts.<br>**[08:10] Megu**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You even chopped up the chestnuts<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and put them in the sauce, too.<br>**[08:13] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yup.<br>**[08:14] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fond de veau, cinnamon sticks, orange zest,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and minced chestnuts set to a simmer.<br>**[08:21] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I call it Yukihira-style chestnut sauce.<br>**[08:23] Hima**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I see.<br>**[08:25] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You've managed to spread the sweetness<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;throughout the venison.<br>**[08:29] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What a surprise. But why?<br>**[08:32] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The aroma from charcoal usually doesn't<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;pair well with French cuisine,<br>**[08:35] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but somehow, it works in this dish.<br>**[08:38] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Is there some other secret?<br>**[08:40] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's coffee.<br>**[08:42] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What? Coffee?<br>**[08:43] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That's right. I'd expect nothing<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;less from your God Tongue.<br>**[08:46] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I learned this at Master Shinomiya's place...<br>**[08:49] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That cacao and wild game<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; go really well together.<br>**[08:52] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To be honest, I don't have<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;much experience using cacao,<br>**[08:55] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;so I used instant coffee.<br>**[08:57] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The bitterness is similar to cacao<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and works perfectly with wild game,<br>**[09:01] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and its deep, astringent flavor<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is perfect for a French sauce.<br>**[09:04] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That's why I used it as a secret ingredient.<br>**[09:07] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This is my own original, new French dish:<br>**[09:10] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Charcoal-Grilled Venison<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Thigh with Chestnut Sauce.<br>**[09:13] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Main ingredient, sauce, and garnishes.*<br>**[09:17] Erina**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A main course in French cuisine must balance*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;those three things in perfect harmony.*<br>**[09:22] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*This dish is eccentric.*<br>**[09:24] ---**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's far too eccentric, but there*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;can be no doubt that it's a French dish.*<br>**[09:35] Erina**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I hate to admit it, but it's almost as*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;though it's shelling away my common sense!*<br>**[09:42] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;H-Hmph.<br>**[09:43] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I guess I can say that for Yukihira-kun,<br>**[09:45] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;this dish covers all the aspects needed<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for it to be considered French cuisine.<br>**[09:51] Hisa**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*For Erina-sama to say this much...*<br>**[09:54] Megu**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*But what about Tsukasa-senpai?*<br>**[09:57] Hisa**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*What's your move, Tsukasa Eishi?*<br>**[10:04] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, right!<br>**[10:06] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm supposed to present my dish, too!<br>**[10:08] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I-It'll just be a little longer.<br>**[10:16] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I hope you like it.<br>**[10:20] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I call it "Two Faces of Roast Venison."<br>**[10:25] Hisa**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The surface of each slice*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is a perfect rose red.*<br>**[10:28] megu**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*It's as though the meat itself is gleaming.*<br>**[10:32] Hisa**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I can slice through it just with*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the weight of the knife alone.*<br>**[10:38] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Harmony...*<br>**[10:39] Megu**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Harmony...*<br>**[10:40] Hisa**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Pure, tranquil...*<br>**[10:43] Three**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*...harmony.*<br>**[10:45] Megu**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The red meat is so fragrant,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;yet tastes so light,<br>**[10:49] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and savory juices are burst from<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;it without any gamy taste at all.<br>**[10:52] Hisa**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Is this what came from all that<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;love and care he put in heating it?<br>**[10:57] Hisa**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And what's more frightening<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;are these two sauces...<br>**[11:01] Soma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What the heck?<br>**[11:03] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What's going on with these<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;unbelievable sauces?<br>**[11:05] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On the right, we have sauce poivrade.<br>**[11:09] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's a sauce made from venison stock<br>**[11:11] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and has a rough bite, but a<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;lingering and clear aftertaste.<br>**[11:15] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then I added various berries to that sauce<br>**[11:18] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to give it some tangy and<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;refreshing sweetness on the left.<br>**[11:22] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sauce poivrade au baie.<br>**[11:24] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Poivrade comes from the French<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;word "poivre," which means "pepper."<br>**[11:30] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The slight bite from the<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;peppercorn in this sauce<br>**[11:33] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;helps bring balance to the mild and<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;light venison's weighty volume.<br>**[11:37] Eishi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The berries I used are...<br>**[11:39] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Blueberries, red currants, blackberries...<br>**[11:42] Erina**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As well as cassis liqueur, red wine,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;blueberry vinegar, and raspberry jam.<br>**[11:47]
