3:32 I believe Souma force-fed Squid+Peanut Butter to Kurase in the 1st episode of Food Wars

・more in-depth notes・

4:00 「実食」 actually means "tasting food you've heard about/seen before"

4:05 「おあがりよ！」 i said this was "country-slangy" in past episodes but after researching, it seems more "catch-phrasey". i'll still be translating into country-slang because i think it captures the feel the most. catch-phrases are hard to translate, だってばよ！

14:21 「いける」 "good" is a simplified translation. it's more accurately translated as "to be able/to go well" but it's hard to fit into a natural english sentence

20:10 「赤子の手をひねる」 is usually an expression meaning "to do something with ease" but i think matsuoka meant it literally here

39:04 「噛み合わせ」 means something more like "turning of gears", translated as "process"
also: 「歯車が今あってない」 means something more like "the gears aren't really turning", translated as "can't quite do it". i tried fitting these two into natural english sentences but they became quite long

41:45 「こんだけ」 = kansai dialect, so sentence is translated as country-slang

45:37 「入ってますね？」 入る means "to be served (alcohol)" in this context

53:16 「お粗末！」 another thing souma says, although definitely not as catch-phrasey as 「おあがりよ！」. literally translated, this means "poorly prepared food" although it's really said when humbly serving someone food. i'll be translating this word differently depending on the context/episode.
note: previous episodes were mistakingly translated as "enjoy ya food!"




・mistakes・

1:45 「幸平ーくんが帰って来ないと、出れないんだけど」is yukihira returning or not returning the problem...?!

2:11 「お差しがいいですね」 差し is one of those words like 掛ける which have infinite definitions depending on context (even though the meaning is simple). in this context, i think kakuma is referring to the idea that matsuoka PUT OUT (the simple meaning of 差し)

6:47 「便利的に/便宜的に」 not sure if matsuoka is saying this, the more normal reading is べんり/べんぎ but can also be read as びんり/びんぎ

11:44 「午後の仕事がなければ」 not sure what matsuoka meant here

16:57 「輪廻が循環する」 i don't understand this line

22:58 「なんかこうしたいなとか、ーーー強さここだなみたいなので」 not sure what kakuma is saying during the ーーー part (not sure if 強さ is correct either)

29:18 not sure if kakuma is talking in 3rd person or talking as if she were kurase during this part

29:30 「方言女子だんのなんだのはべらせ」 this might be 方言

32:31 「方言女子ですか？」 not sure what kakuma meant here, is "country girl" an insult?

37:18 「料理はーーーのが大事ですよ！」 not sure during the ーーー part

39:21 「究極までいったってことですか松岡さんは？」 not sure what kakuma means here

43:14 「頭頂」this might be slang for the needle things
