    For those who don't know; the mangaka for Food Wars consulted with actual chefs when making recipes for the manga (and later, the anime). The main contributing chef was Yuki Morisaki.

    I appreciate the way the main character handled this. Brining out the meat's flavor is the best course of action. If you're hiding the meat's natural flavor then why even use that meat? I've eaten wild game my entire life and I've often told people, if you want the flavor of beef then use beef, but don't try to make wild game taste like beef.

    I never expected to see this anime trope explored through food. By only describing the flavors of the two dishes you can already tell who is the villain (By going to extreme measures to reject and bury the qualities of their unique ingredient) and who is the hero (who embraces the difficult traits of their ingredient and works to harmonize with it). Not exactly stretching for an original trope, but certainly the most unique execution of it I've ever seen.

    I love how respectful these comments are (at least as far as I can see). No one is condemning the use of bear meat, and a number of users actually are sharing some of their stories! I don't know if I'd ever personally hunt bear, I know I at least would like to try bear meat, it's supposed to be really rich in flavor from what I've heard.

      Give it a shot, there's surprisingly a LOT of culinary techniques in the show. The mangaka had a professional chef as a consultant who created/tested almost every dish on the show! I learned a number of interesting cooking tricks from it. Also if you want a watching partner ChefPK on youtube got his start reacting to it as a professional chef, don't know if the vids survived the youtube strikepocolypse tho.
