A chef gets too damn good.


•all recipes are my own unless i state otherwise •

Xia Yu made a wish to eat until he vomited. And this particular wish brought him to a completely strange spirit world which was full of cuisines.
What, Chef God System?
"You need to not only satisfy normal people's appetite but also all kinds of devils and ghosts. Use your food to move them!" the old man said to him coolly.
So, Xia Yu would never stop running on the road of becoming a Chef God.
 

Kaya's controversy worsened. Any website related to Grand Chef talked about Kaya's past.

Not many people thought Tess Gilly was delusional. She even posted a photo of the scar on her chin, and she claimed Kaya did it. People didn't think to assume she was lying since she even posted a photo.

The netizens were split. While some were suspicious about whether Tess Gilly was telling the truth, others just took her word for it and cussed out Kaya. The facts were simple. They were classmates, friends, and they were currently on bad terms. At the same time, it was also Kaya who caused the scar on Tess Gilly's chin. Countless 'classmates' confirmed it online. The problem was that it was hard to confirm if those classmates were really their classmates.

Hilary Hahn: There's no reason to overthink it. Even if she caused that scar on her face, it's not right to accuse someone without knowing the truth.

LGE: What kind of story do you need to hear to accept that scar? That's unacceptable no matter what the circumstances were.

Erika Vlados: @LGE She's just saying it's dumb to talk about it before it's confirmed. If she really did do something wrong, she would've gone to juvie, but she didn't.

This is how it went. There wasn't enough information to be certain. But of course, some thought it was enough to criticize her, but people like that simply tainted their own reputation and became the target of laughter and criticism.

"It'll be fine once time passes."

Martin mumbled over and over. Robert frowned because he couldn't understand.

"Can't we just reveal the truth? It's not all good, but if we just tell them everything, more people will understand."

"But if we don't tell them anything, it'll feel iffy, but they'll forget. And as for the truth, besides Kaya's side of the story, we don't have any proper evidence. If we make an announcement without evidence, it could backfire on us. Trust me. This is for the best. Best for Kaya and best for the show."

According to Kaya, the scar on Tess' chin was the result of a two-sided fight, and the reason why she was the one to be expelled was simple.

Grand Chef had yet to make a formal statement on the matter. To be more exact, they simply gave a neutral answer. 'We're looking into it. What Tess Gilly claimed conflicts the truth that we've found out.' And they didn't reveal anything in detail. They had to take some time to watch the public's response.

And the result wasn't all bad. Once the 10th episode showcasing the dessert mission was aired, Kaya's middle school incident started to be forgotten. Of course, some people still liked to drag it on, but at this point, it wasn't a problem.

Martin massaged the back of his neck. His head hurt. The best thing they could do at this moment was wait. If it died down, that was the end of that, and if it came back to the surface, they had to pop it down themselves. No matter which outcome, this wasn't the time for it.

"Forget it. Let's prepare for the mission. There weren't many interesting scenes in the dessert episode. Min Joon saved it by recreating the jelly perfectly, but we can't rely on him forever. This time, let's get more viewers hooked."

"… Ugh, someone else will go home today. It always hurts to see it."

Martin smirked.

"Worry about yourself. Anyone can get disqualified in life. Do you think you'll be in that producer position forever?"

***

"It's all about you again."

Anderson growned and exited out of the window on his phone. It was understandable. He came up with a recipe after eating a dish once. There was no way other contestants got any spotlight after that. Cho Min Joon smirked and asked, "Are you jealous?"

"Not exactly. It's normal to hate seeing other people succeed."

"Seeing how you're saying that with a straight face… You're just like Kaya."

"… Stop it."

He really didn't want to hear it. Cho Min Joon smiled and picked up a skewer, but it wasn't a chicken or lamb skewer. On the stick were parma ham, tomato, and toasted bread. It was an Italian dish called bruschetta. It was a simple dish, but as soon as it entered his mouth, the salty parma ham and the olive oil spread throughout his entire mouth… And after that, the unique scent of the toasted bread took over. He exclaimed with joy.

"I didn't know bread could taste this good…"

"Bread is a basic in Europe. Just like how rice is basic in Asia."

"In my country, bread is more like a snack than a main meal."

"I know. You told me last time."

"… Did I?"

Cho Min Joon smiled with embarrassment and put a piece of bruschetta in his mouth. This time, it was just a piece of bread with olive oil on top. What was fascinating was that it was delicious, but then again, since rice and sesame oil tasted great on their own, it was a similar idea.

He glanced over at Kaya. She put a piece of Sasha's cheesecake into her mouth with a tired look on her face. She said she was sick and didn't have an appetite, so she couldn't even enjoy the dish that she made. Cho Min Joon showed a sad look on his face. She tried not to show it, but she was clearly having a hard time.

He felt bad, but there was nothing he could do for her. Hugo saw Cho Min Joon's face and cautiously asked, "Do you think Kaya's okay?"

"Of course not. There are so many mean comments about her. Kaya's still young. She's 18 years old."

"… Come to think of it, Kaya's the youngest contestant among the surviving ones."

Hugo looked at Kaya with surprise. She acted young, but since she always put on heavy make up and frowned, he never realized it, and she was very talented. A contender to win the whole thing, so it was hard to treat her like a normal teenager.

"Who's the oldest here?"

"I'm not sure. Isn't it Sasha? I think she's 28? Anderson is 22, you're 21, and how old is Chloe, again?"

"21… I didn't notice this, but all of the remaining contestants are pretty young. I thought there would have been some people in their 30s."

"That just means we're that good."

Hugo smirked with confidence. At that moment, Robert approached the table. Everyone's faces stiffened up. Whenever the youngest PD showed up, it always meant one thing. Out of Robert's mouth came out what they all expected to hear.

"The mission will start in 2 hours. Get ready."

Robert disappeared after that one remark. Kaya, who watched him blankly, knitted her brows.

"I lost my appetite."

"Me, too."

Sasha answered with a sad voice and cupped her chin. Chloe thought deeply and then glanced at Cho Min Joon.

"… What do you think the mission will be, Min Joon? You got it right last time."

"I'm not sure. I don't have an idea today."

"Do you get some kind fo special feeling for stuff like this?"

"Of course."

He answered with an awkward look on his face. Even if things happened the way it originally did, his memory was hazy, and it seemed like the judges were trying to make the missions more difficult these days. If the mission changed, his memory was useless. Chloe smirked and said, "I hope we get a mission related to Chinese food."

"… If that happens, we'll all fail except for you."

"I'm allowed to think selfishly, aren't I?"

Chloe stuck out her lip. Cho Min Joon laughed. If it was anyone else, it would have sounded selfish, but hearing Chloe say it made it cute.

But whether she was selfish or not, Chloe's wish wasn't going to come true. That lunch, the mission that the judges announced was very different.

"There are two themes to this mission. The first one is fire."

Emily spoke in a serious voice. Despite her efforts, it didn't sound all that serious, but since she was a judge, even the sound of her breathing made everyone tense. Everyone stared at Emily. Emily took a moment to soak it in before continuing.

"Fire brought civilization to mankind. Yes, that's also what created cooking. As a result, many dishes use fire. Roasting, poaching, simmering, sautee, broil, grill… Just listing them all takes quite a bit of energy. You must use one ingredient and cook it using three different methods. And the ingredient is…"

Emily paused again, but she didn't do it on purpose. Emily gulped and continued with an embarrassed smile, "I'm salivating just thinking about it. The ingredient is pork. You can grill it to be crispy on the outside, or fry it after putting batter over it. It's also good to put it in a stew to make the savory flavor come alive. Whatever you choose, I hope you make your best dishes."

"You have 2 hours to cook. We'll give you 30 minutes to come up with a recipe, so please make your decision by then."

Allan calmly spoke after Emily. 30 minutes. While he thought about how that wasn't enough time for 3 different methods, Joseph continued, "If all three of your dishes go well together, we'll give you extra points, but the most important aspect is quality. Please make your best dishes, Aand think of your recipes. You have 30 minutes."

Cho Min Joon did his best to think. 2 hours. 3 dishes. The pork came with all portions, but they butchered it in a way that suited Western cuisine, not Korean.

But he still had many choices. There were so many that he couldn't choose, and with so many different options, there were many recipes to consider. While spending time with the other contestants, he came to learn all sorts of secret recipes and know-hows. If he combined that knowledge, he could yield good results.

Cho Min Joon closed his eyes. Countless recipes popped up in front of his eyes and then disappeared. He didn't realize it, but they were passing at lightning speed. Since 2 recipes flashed by in just a second, he was 10 times faster than the others at coming up with recipes, but of course, the others took the recipes of other people or what they tried before…

When he opened his eyes, 5 minutes had already passed. Cho Min Joon organized the recipes inside his head. The first dish was Hong Kong-style fried pork belly in soy sauce, and many cooking methods were used for it. It was boiled, fried, sliced up, and then cooked down in a sauce. The second dish was a meatball cooked in balsamic dressing and paprika, and the third was pork ribs cooked with barbeque. The composition score was 6…

Cho Min Joon laughed. When it came to coming up with recipes, he significantly improved since he first started in the competition, and the predicted score for all the dishes were the same.

8 points.

Because of his love for cooking, he had thrown away his career as a teacher and had become a chef.
But despite his desires, his lack of cooking skills was the harsh truth he had to face.
But when he reached the age of 30, he had been sent back 7 years back into the past.
Another chance.

The next day.
Adam and Caden were eating breakfast in the dining room.
"Did you have a company in your room, last night bro?" Caden asked.
"Yes. Jessy and I were having a date in the city last night then she sleeps in my room and went home in the wee hours of the morning," Adam replied.
"Ah, okay," Caden said.
"Yum, you're pancake today taste better than last week, bro!" Adam commented. "Why is that?" he asked.
Caden smiled. "Well, I just happened to discover a new way to add flavor to the pancake to make it more creamy and flavorful, but it's a secret bro, sorry I can't reveal to you my secret ingredients," he grinned from ear to ear.
"Oh, really—? I guess I know where you got your new pancake recipe bro," Adam scanned at his mobile phone.
"Where?"
"Here in YouTube videos, 'coz I see you browsing on the video recipes the other day," Adam chuckled.
Caden scratches his head. "Ah, I'm busted bro. You are right, I can learn so many food recipes on YouTube. I'm planning to study Culinary Arts since I love eating and I crave foods a lot, it would be good to learn how to cook during our break time when you have no engagement or photoshoot to honor. I want to be a Chef!" he said enthusiastically.
"Well...go ahead... bro. I will support you all the way," Adam smiled and patted his friend's shoulder. "For now, you can practice cooking in our kitchen one recipe at a time. Just master one recipe first then progress onto another recipe to broaden your knowledge in preparing and cooking different dishes...some people can cook delicious dishes without even attaining culinary course just like Nana Aida... she has no formal schooling in cooking but the foods she cooked every day are praiseworthy. People can excel in what they do because they have great love and passion for what they are doing," he explained.
Caden awarded Adam a thumbs-up sign. "Wow, thank you for boosting my confidence bro, starting tomorrow I will cook you my first masterpiece..." he bragged.
Adam raised his brows. "And what could it be—?" he asked interested.
"I will cook you a red braised pork belly, Chinese style! It will be super delicious for sure!" Caden chuckled.
Adam smiled broadly. "Okay...bring it on...show me your cooking skill bro!"
"I will start with 1-kilo pork first," Caden said and began browsing videos about how to cook braised pork belly on his phone.
Adam has done eating, he stood up and left the table bringing with him his hot mug of coffee and went to the living room to watch the morning news on TV.
While sipping the coffee, there was news on TV about the fire that broke in one of the residential buildings in the city last night. Thankfully there were not many casualties, only two people died, but some of the residences got minor injuries and were taken to the hospitals for further health check-up and observation. There was a mystery surrounding the tragedy because the fire died even before the ambulance has a chance to fight the fire, then the occupants of the floor where the fire has started found themselves waking up in the ground floor without knowledge how did they even arrive there in the first place?
Adam felt sad that two people died in the fire last night. He was thinking what could he have done to prevent the death of those people who perished on the fire? On the other hand, he and Jessy lend a helping hand to put out the flames quickly preventing the fire from spreading to other floors but still, in the end, death was unavoidable.
"What news is that bro?" Caden sat on the sofa holding his mug of hot coffee.
"Ah, just some news about the fire that broke last night in one of the condominium building situated in the city," Adam answered.
"What—there was a fire? So... you and Jessy were able to witness the fire before you come back home last night?" Caden asked curiously.
Adam nodded his head.
"You did not help to put out the fire, bro?" Caden asked.
"Jessy and I helped to put an end to the fire quickly but still two people died, so it's kind of jarring that although we were able to put the fire out still people died just the same," Adam said, a gloomy expression marred his face.
"Yeah, sad indeed. I'm feeling sad about the two people who died and my sympathy for their grieving families. But stop feeling guilty bro, if you and Jessy did not stop the fire, many people would have died last night. It's your timely help that saves more lives. Two person's death is a bit bearable and acceptable compared to many. Maybe those two people died because they're meant to die. Let's just pray for their eternal peace in heaven, and let's hope their bereaved families can recover quickly from their grief. Cheer up, bro! When it comes to tragedy and accident, death is sometimes unavoidable you can't save everyone," Caden consoled his friend.
"Yeah, I guess you are right, bro," Adam nodded his head in agreement.
They switched the channel and looked for a sports show.
"By the way, what is our schedule for today?" Adam asked.
"This afternoon, we will be going to the mall for the perfume promotion. You will be signing your fans autograph right outside the entrance of the store for two hours," Caden answered.
"Okay, so let's get ready then..."
"It's okay bro, just relax and have a beauty sleep, so that your fans can see your glowing porcelain skin and ogle at your handsome face. I suggest that you go back to your room and sleep again so that you don't look haggard and you will look fresh for your public appearance later," Caden said.
"Okay... whatever," Adam answered and sauntered back to his room.
Inside his bedroom.
Adam went to his bed lazily and lie down to take a quick nap. He was wondering what Jessy is doing right now? As usual, she will be in the clinic doing blood transfusion.
Then his mind wandered to his brother Zain. He was thinking of his brother's proposal, he can't take that proposal out of his mind.

Spam (stylized SPAM) is a brand of canned cooked meat made by Hormel Foods Corporation. It was first introduced in 1937 and gained popularity worldwide after its use during World War II. By 2003, Spam was sold in 41 countries on six continents and trademarked in over 100 countries (not including the Middle East and North Africa).

According to its label, Spam's basic ingredients are pork, with ham meat added, salt, water, modified potato starch as a binder, sugar, and sodium nitrite as a preservative. Natural gelatin is formed during cooking in its tins on the production line. Many have raised concerns over Spam's nutritional attributes, in large part due to its high content of fat, sodium, and preservatives.

By the early 1970s the name "Spam" became a genericized trademark, used to describe any canned meat product containing pork, such as pork luncheon meat. With expansion in communications technology, it became the subject of urban legends about mystery meatand other appearances in pop culture. Most notable was a Monty Python sketch which led to its name being borrowed for unsolicited electronic messages, especially spam email.

History

Spam was introduced by Hormel on July 5, 1937. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America states that the product was intended to increase the sale of pork shoulder which was not a very popular cut. Ken Daigneau, brother of a company executive, won a $100 prize that year in a competition to name the new item. Hormel claims that the meaning of the name "is known by only a small circle of former Hormel Foods executives", but popular beliefs are that the name is an abbreviation of "spiced ham".The difficulty of delivering fresh meat to the front during World War II saw Spam become a ubiquitous part of the U.S. soldier's diet. It became variously referred to as "ham that didn't pass its physical", "meatloaf without basic training", and "Special Army Meat". Over 150 million pounds of Spam were purchased by the military before the war's end.

During World War II and the occupations which followed, Spam was introduced into Guam, Hawaii, Okinawa, the Philippines, and other islands in the Pacific. Immediately absorbed into native diets, it has become a unique part of the history and effects of U.S. influence in the Pacific.

As a consequence of World War II rationing and the Lend-Lease Act, Spam also gained prominence in the United Kingdom. British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher later referred to it as a "wartime delicacy". In addition to increasing production for the U.K., Hormel expanded Spam output as part of Allied aid to the similarly beleaguered Soviet Union. Nikita Khrushchev declared: "Without Spam we wouldn't have been able to feed our army". Throughout the war, countries ravaged by the conflict and faced with strict food rations came to appreciate Spam.

The billionth can was sold in 1959, and in 2007, the seven billionth can of Spam was sold. In 2012, the eight billionth can of Spam was sold.

International usage

United States and territories

Domestically, Spam's chief advantages were affordability, accessibility, and extended shelf life. At the time it was introduced, it was the only canned meat product on the market that needed no refrigeration. Statistics from the 1990s say that 3.8 cans of Spam are consumed every second in the United States, totaling nearly 122 million cans annually. It became part of the diet of almost 30% of American households, perceived differently in various regions of the country. It is also sometimes associated with economic hardship because of its relatively low cost.

Spam that is sold in North America, South America, and Australia is produced in Austin, Minnesota (also known as "Spam Town USA") and in Fremont, Nebraska. Austin, Minnesota also has a restaurant with a menu devoted exclusively to Spam, called "Johnny's SPAMarama Menu".

In 1963, Spam was introduced to various private and public schools in South Florida as cheap food and even for art sculptures. Due to the success of the introduction, Hormel Foods also introduced school "color-themed" spam, the first being a blue and green variety which is still traditionally used in some private schools of South Florida.

Hawaii

Spam musubi is a popular snack and lunch food in Hawaii

Spam is especially popular in the state of Hawaii, where residents have the highest per capita consumption in the United States. Its perception there is very different from on the mainland. Hawaiians sometimes call it "Portagee Steak".

A popular local dish in Hawaii is Spam musubi, where cooked Spam is placed atop rice and wrapped in a band of nori, a form of onigiri. Varieties of Spam are found in Hawaii that are unavailable in other markets, including Honey Spam, Spam with Bacon, and Hot and Spicy Spam.

Hawaiian Burger King restaurants began serving Spam in 2007 to compete with the local McDonald's chains. In Hawaii, Spam is so popular that it is sometimes referred to as "The Hawaiian Steak". There is even an annual Spam-themed festival on the island of Oahu that takes place every spring, known as the "Waikiki Spam Jam.Local chefs and restaurants compete to create new Spam-themed dishes, which are then sold in a massive street fair on Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki.

In 2017, Hawaii was plagued by a rash of thefts of Spam. Spam had long been a target of thieves in Hawaii, but the magnitude of the thefts ramped up, with incidents in which multiple cases of Spam were stolen at once. Local retailers believe organized crime was involved. This came alongside increases in thefts of some other retail goods, such as corned beef and liquor. The president of the retail merchants of Hawaii attributed the rise in retail thefts to a recent change in criminal law, which raised the threshold at which a theft would lead to felony charges by approximately $400.

Guam and the Northern Marianas

In Guam, average per capita consumption is 16 tins (cans) per year. It is also found on McDonald's menus there. The Spam Gamesalso takes place in Guam, where locals sample and honor the best original, homemade Spam recipes.

In the Northern Mariana Islands, lawyers from Hormel have threatened to sue the local press for publishing articles alleging ill-effects of high Spam consumption on the health of the local population.

Puerto Rico

Sandwich de Mezcla is a party staple in Puerto Rico containing Spam, Velveeta, and pimientos between two slices of sandwich bread.

United Kingdom

After World War II, Newforge Foods, part of the Fitch Lovell group, was awarded the license to produce the product in the UK at its Gateacre factory, Liverpool, where it stayed until production switched to the Danish Crown Group (owners of the Tulip Food Company) in 1998.

The United Kingdom has adopted Spam into various recipes. For example, recipes include Spam Yorkshire Breakfast, Spamish Omelette, and Spam Hash. Spam can also be sliced, battered and deep-fried into Spam fritters.

East and Southeast Asia

Spam is often served with rice in Asia.

In China, Hormel decided to adopt a different strategy to market Spam, promoting it as a foreign, premium food product and changing the Spam formula to be meatier in order to accommodate local Chinese tastes.

In Okinawa, Japan, the product is added into onigiri alongside eggs and used as a staple ingredient in the traditional Okinawan dish chanpurū, and a Spam burger is sold by local fast food chain Jef. For the 70th anniversary of Spam in 2007, cans with special designs were sold in Japan due to its popularity, primarily in Okinawa. Following the March 2011 earthquake, Spam sales in Japan declined and Hormel shifted its focus to China although Hormel did pledge to donate $100,000 along with cans of Spam for relief efforts. In the summer of 2011, Burger King introduced its own version of a burger made of Spam, called 'BK Shot' Spam Burgers. These small burgers are filled with slices of the canned meat and were an attempt by Burger King to capitalize on Spam's popularity in Japan. In early 2014, Burger King also introduced the Spam and Cheese burger as a breakfast menu item.

In Hong Kong after World War II, meat was scarce and expensive, so Spam was an accessible, affordable alternative. The luncheon meat has been incorporated into dishes such as macaroni with fried egg and spam in chicken soup, as well as ramen.

In the Philippines, Spam is a popular food item and seen as a cultural symbol. It is prepared and used in a variety of ways, including being fried, served alongside condiments, or used in sandwiches. The canned meat's popularity transcends economic class, and Spam gift sets are even used as homecoming gifts. There are at least ten different varieties of Spam currently available in the country and an estimated 1.25 million kilos of the meat is sold every year in the Philippines. During the rescue efforts after Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) in 2009, Hormel Foods donated over 30,000 pounds of Spam to the Philippine National Red Cross.

In later years, the surfeit of Spam in both North and South Korea during the Korean Warled to the establishment of the Spam kimbap(rice and vegetable filled seaweed roll). Because of a scarcity of fish and other traditional kimbap products such as kimchi or fermented cabbage, Spam was added to a rice roll with kimchi and cucumber and wrapped in seaweed. Spam was also used by US soldiers in Korea as a means of trading for items, services or information around their bases.

In South Korea, Spam (Hangul: 스팸;RR: seupaem, licensed from Hormel by CJ CheilJedang) is popular with a majority of the population, and outranks Coca-Cola and KFC in status as a foodstuff. Today, South Korea produces and consumes more Spam than any other country except the United States.

Spam is also an original ingredient in budae jjigae ("army base stew"), a spicy stew with different types of preserved meat.

Middle East

Israel

In Mandatory Palestine, demand for kosher canned meats increased as Spam became more popular during World War II. Canned meat was briefly mentioned during wartime from 1939–43, but the true boom in kosher canned meat came in 1945. This is when kosher canned meat became the key item in Europe's Jewish war victim relief packages. Then in 1946, the Chicago Kosher Sausage Manufacturing Company registered a patent for a kosher canned meat product called Breef. Made of beef, Breef has a similar texture to Spam but tastes like corned beef. Also, a kosher variant of Spam, known as Loof (Hebrew: לוף‎, a Hebrew linguistic play on meatloaf), was produced by Richard Levi, and mostly used as part of field rations by the Israel Defense Forces. A Glatt kosher version was also produced. It was phased out of field rations during the early 2000s and was finally removed from rations when production ceased in 2009.

In popular culture

Beginning in 1940, Spam sponsored George Burns and Gracie Allen on their radio program.

During WWII, Spam was not only eaten but was also incorporated into many other aspects of the war (grease for guns, cans for scrap metal, etc.); it was so prominent that Uncle Sam was nicknamed "Uncle Spam".Other terms influenced by the product's name include the European invasion fleet, or the "Spam Fleet". Furthermore, the United Service Organizations (USO) toured the "Spam Circuit".

In the United States in the aftermath of World War II, a troupe of former servicewomen was assembled by Hormel Foods to promote Spam from coast to coast. The group was known as the Hormel Girls and associated the food with being patriotic. In 1948, two years after its formation, the troupe had grown to 60 women with 16 forming an orchestra. The show went on to become a radio program where the main selling point was Spam. The Hormel Girls were disbanded in 1953.

Spam has long had a somewhat dubious reputation in the United States and (to a lesser degree) United Kingdom as a poverty food. The image of Spam as a low cost meat product gave rise to the Scottish colloquial term "Spam valley" to describe certain affluent housing areas where residents appear to be wealthy but in reality may be living at poverty levels.

Spam was featured in an iconic 1970 Monty Python sketch called "Spam". Set in a café which mostly served dishes containing Spam, including "egg and Spam, egg bacon and Spam, Spam egg sausage and Spam, Spam egg Spam Spam bacon and Spam ", the piece also featured a companion song. By the 1990s, Spam's perceived ubiquity led to its name being adopted for unsolicited electronic messages, especially spam email. Because of its use in a line of a song in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the title of the musical version of the film became Spamalot.

Spam is the subject of the "Weird Al" Yankovicsong "Spam", which is a parody of the R.E.M.song "Stand".

Other offshoots of Spam in popular culture include a book of haikus about Spam titled Spam-Ku: Tranquil Reflections on Luncheon Loaf. There is also a mock Church of Spam, and a Spam Cam which is a webcam trained on a can of decaying Spam.

In the 1982 film Sophie's Choice, the character Stingo brings a carton of Spam to his newly-rented room.

Spam is referenced in Island of the Sequined Love Nun by Christopher Moore, where SPAM is explained as Shaped Pork Approximating Man, which was used to explain its popularity amongst Pacific Island Cannibals.

Spam has also been mentioned in the online point and click game "Escape from Plastic Beach" from 2010 on gorillaz.com. In the game it's used as bait for a talking fish.

Spam is celebrated in Austin, Minnesota, home to the Spam Museum. The museum tells the history of the Hormel company, the origin of Spam, and its place in world culture, including Hawaii where Spam is eaten daily by locals.

Austin is also the location of final judging in the national Spam recipe competition. Competing recipes are collected from winning submissions at the top 40 state fairs in the nation. The Spamettes are a quartet from Austin who only sing about Spam in parodies of popular songs. They first performed at the first Spam Jam in 1990 and continue to perform at various events.

Hawaii holds an annual Spam Jam in Waikikiduring the last week of April. The small town of Shady Cove, Oregon is home to the annual Spam Parade and Festival, with the city allocating US$1,500 for it.

Spamarama was a yearly festival held around April Fool's Day in Austin, Texas. The theme of Spamarama was a gentle parody of Spam, rather than a straightforward celebration: the event at the heart of the festival was a Spam cook-off that originated as a challenge to produce the most appetizing recipe for the meat. A rule of the event was that contestants had to be prepared to eat the Spam dish if requested by a judge. The festival included light sporting activities and musical acts, in addition to the cook-off.

This novel is spam content. I advise you not to read as this is only meant to give me the badges for having 10k words published.

Ordered the ingredients, the big stones in the heart, and the rest, you can see your own skills.

    "Today's menu is Sichuan and Cantonese."

    "Steamed vegetables are fish-flavored pork, Mapo tofu and hot and sour potato."

    "Cantonese dishes are sand tea beef, pineapple and pork, and South milk."

    Six dishes, both It is familiar to Xia Yu, and it is possible to get a 60-point evaluation in the system with a little snack.

    As for the recipe for tomorrow, we will copy the three dishes today, and add three new dishes: oily prawns, nine-turned large intestines and one seafood tofu.

    It is not difficult to find that the dishes with tofu as the main material are a bit more.

    This is actually the helplessness of Xia Yu.

    In the study of "Magic Mapo Tofu", he touched the analogy. He almost filled the skills of tofu cooking. Other Xia Yu did not dare to say that if he said that he would make tofu, he would definitely be full of self-confidence.

    However, the other two Lu cuisine, oily prawns and nine-turn large intestine, relatively unfamiliar, and occasionally can take 60 points to evaluate, Xia Yu now has to do more practice, to stabilize the quality of the dishes.

    But looking up and down the ingredients in the kitchen, Xia Yu followed the dumbfounded.

    The refrigerator is almost empty, not to mention the two main ingredients, the shrimp and the pig's large intestine, and the other side dishes are not found!

    Moreover, using the ingredients purchased in the store to practice cooking, Xia Yu turned to think, I feel very unreliable.

    When the old man was there, he could empty his head and be carefree. When he saw what ingredients were there, he would use what ingredients to train his hands.

    Especially this week, Xia Yu recalled, can not help but shame.

    The failure of "Magic Mapo Tofu" has poured a basket and a basket.

    The consumption of tofu is equally terrible. From the beginning, soak 5 kg of soybeans to soy milk every day, increase to 10 kg on the third day, and 15 kg on the fifth day. In other words, without the support of financial resources, it is too extravagant to be able to defeat the bottom of the family.

    This is why a chef is difficult to cultivate.

    If you don't go to the chef school in the distant month, then you should find the master, take the hands in the kitchen of the restaurant and the restaurant, run the errands, start from the most basic cutting vegetables, accumulate experience, and become the chef, no more than a dozen. Don't think about the accumulation of twenty years.

    The most important thing is money.

    The old man only stayed for one million yen. This part of the money is definitely used to purchase ingredients. It is very difficult. If Xia Yu continues to use the ingredients he bought back, the result is that he will use up the funds unconsciously. The store was half dead and completely dead.

    But it doesn't work, unless you use the same menu every day in the previous period.

    Xia Yu shook his head.

    From 12 dishes a day to six dishes, it can be said that you have done your best. This is the bottom line.

    If you cut it down again, Xia Yu feels that he is self-exiled.

    No pressure, where is the driving force?

    "System, is there any way I can practice cooking?" He can only turn to the kitchen system.

    "The host currently has a reputation worth 220 points. You can open the kitchen space to practice. Each time you spend an hour in the kitchen space, you will consume 10 reputation points." The system replied.

    Kitchen space?

    Xia Yu only tried it tentatively. I didn't expect the system to have a solution. I couldn't help but be overjoyed. But he immediately forced himself to calm down, "System, 220 points of fame, what can I buy at the kitchen shop?"

    "Blue recipes, the average price of 500 points."

    "Blue permanent kitchen, the average price of 1000 points of fame ""

    "Blue extended skill book, the average price of 1000 points of fame."

    Sure enough!

    500 points of fame can buy a recipe, and use 220 points to open the kitchen space, can only support 22 hours.

    The recipe is a permanent learning.

    Thinking of this, Xia Yu feels distressed.

    With half the fame, he can buy any blue recipe, carefully study it, master the new radiance dishes, and increase the number of cards he must kill.

    However, due to the late start and lack of cooking skills, a lot of cooking practice is necessary.

    For example, the pig's foot of the restaurant spirit is alive and well, and the practice of cooking at the age of three has been used for 12 years in the kitchen of the studio. It has an extremely rich first-line chef experience.

    Similarly, Takmi and Isami, the brothers from Italy, entered the long month before they were professional chefs with rich practical experience.

    Xia Yu's base played very well. Even without a kitchen god system, Knife was also top-notch among a group of students in the distant month, but he was extremely lacking in experience as a frontline chef.

    These experiences have to be accumulated slowly by operating small stores. Before that, Xia's Chinese cuisine shop must also be operated!

    "Exercise! Practice!"

    Biting the teeth, this fame Xia Yu is an investment in operating a small store.

    "The system, change me Chefs space 22 hours of use." He said, "after Chefs space is open, I can take out of it?"

    "Yes, leave the host Chefs space, time to freeze."

    "That Open it!"

    Xia Yu ran off the bedroom on the second floor, closed the door, and couldn't wait to say it in bed.

    ...It

    seems like a beautiful sleep.

    Woke up, Xia Yu found himself in an antique traditional kitchen, gas stoves, cabinets, pots and pans, as well as an unopened bottle and cans, all glittering.

    Classical luxury is like a dream.

    In addition to the kitchen table with cut vegetables, there is a kitchen counter with fresh ingredients. Xia Yu walks over and takes out a fat salmon from a box full of ice.

    Smell the smell of salmon, Xia Yu's stomach seems to be protesting, I do not know why, the salmon became a dish, drifting in front of the horizon.

    Just holding the ingredients, the inspiration is like a urine collapse. Xia Yu couldn't help but take a breath and enjoy this state of active thinking.

    "Time to start."

    "Host can freely use the kitchen ingredients, and the food is not limited supply."

    "In addition, if the host made 90 points or more dishes, you can get the mysterious reward surprise of the system."

    Then, The kitchen system is silent.

    Mystery surprise reward?

    The corner of the mouth was pumped. Although this temptation means, the singer's greasy master sister, what is the dragon's knives click to send almost the same, but it is precisely able to violently evoke people's desires.

    Xia Yu began to look forward to it, 90 points, right? Do it for you!

    He started practicing sweating.

    ...

    The rain in Tokyo is very big today, until there is no sign of stopping in the evening.

    Two Chinese female tourists, Anya and Mu Xiaoyue, spent almost a whole day in the Xia's shop.

    From two o'clock in the afternoon, the manager and the chef's teenager disappeared, leaving two young Chinese ladies who didn't know for a long time to help him see the store.

    "Xiao Ya, our dinner has fallen tonight."

    Mu Xiaoyue brushed up again on Weibo, stood up from the chair, stretched out, and touched his stomach to reveal a sweet smile. "At noon, I have to support it. Now I have finally digested most of it."

    "What to eat tonight?" What?" Her girlfriend, the goddess Fan's Anya, also held her hands on her cheeks and held them on the table, staring at the empty menu bar on the wall.

    Hey.

    "Someone is there?"

    With a knock on the door, a young couple, put together a wet umbrella into the store.

Waking up in the world of MHA (My Hero Academia).
But it is not like those fan-fic that I read in which the MC is the same age as the protagonist.

He is 3 years older than Midoriya Izuku.
---------------------------
"Shit, I don't know who sent me here but at least because you didn't give me Izuku's age"

"And why I keep hearing a damn sound in my head"
--------------------------------------
Well this is my first fan-fic I hope you like it

The treaty of bringing together the worlds of
BHNA --- boku no hero academia
SNS --- shokugueki no soma
Kenichi the most powerful disciple
As the story progresses I will try to integrate more.

He stopped all of a sudden. From the memories of the girl she hasn't seen this prince yet. So I don't know the identity of this one. The others came to us, so I steadied myself and gave a bow.

"Greetings your highness', it's been a while since the mansion has received visitors, I hope you'll enjoy your visitation. If you'll excuse me."

"Ze'er where are you going?"

"Hello big brother"

I wave a hand at him as I walk away, not letting any of them respond.

"Ze'er--"

"The sweat makes me uncomfortable, I need to change my clothes big brother."

He nodded in approval so I went back to the manor.

Lin Sha and Lin Tsu assisted me. The clothes I have here are too colorful. I need to request new clothes from mother. I'll make clothing designs on my own, and base them to the 21st century clothing styles that way I'll be more comfortable wearing them. Besides I want something elegant yet plain and patterned.

"Young miss do you have any other plans for the day?"

"Do you know where my mother is?"

"The madame is still busy tending to the needs of the household"

"En. Lead the way to the kitchen I'd like to give some instructions for the preparation for lunch. I want to surprise my mother, I fear that she's on the verge of having anxiety"

"Young miss what is anxiety?"

"Oh don't mind that word, come on, we shall head to the kitchen"

It did not take long before we arrived at the kitchen.

"Young miss it's good to see you, how are we of assistance?" the head chef inquired

I smiled

"I want to pass four secret recipes and I want them to be prepared by lunch time. These are the recipes, I will be needing everyone's cooperation in making the meals."

"It will be our honor to have these secret recipes, we shall tend to your instructions young miss"

"En. I want fresh ingredients, the imperial children might be dinning together with us. Remember, no mistake shall be made."

"As you wish"

I instructed them accordingly. The fragrance of the dishes aroused everyone's appetite. I told them to make the 21st century fish fillets, the four seasons vegetable salad, a fresh whole pig barbecue, and spaghetti for the side dish. Since I miss eating French fries, I instructed some to cut potatoes and stir fry them in a pan of boiling oil and I decided to have them make banana ketchup.

In military, a party was once held with military men from different countries so I've learned recipes from them when I visited the kitchen for a service checkup.

In the culture of the Philippines, Filipino military men loved parties with 'Lechon Baboy' a vernacular term that means a whole pig barbecue. It is highly seasoned and delicious, so when they brought it for the party I was amazed and that was the start of my pork eating habits.

I'd like to serve that type of festivity dish, as a sign of gracious happiness for the coming of the imperial children. By now my father and my third uncle should be on their way home for lunch.

Qin Zetian was the youngest prodigious daughter of the president. At a young age she was renowned as a gifted child who has the ability to learn anything in the fastest speed possible. When she worked for the military she attained honorable accolades and was promoted as the general of the Northern border. But her life was cut short when she was diagnosed with Leukemia. It was her 32nd birthday when her body collapsed, unable to consume the prescribed medicines. And on her last day, Qin Zetian wore the Qin family's heirloom before she was buried.

The real journey starts where it ended. Her soul was transmigrated in the body of Qin Zetian, the third daughter of Zhou kingdom's right prime minister. The real owner of the body fell from the highest branch of a tree and tragically died on the spot. But the body remained unconscious, as it was inhabited by another soul through the heirloom of Qin Clan. Qin Zetian woke up with memories foreign to her. Then she promised to achieve her previous goal to become the richest woman in ancient history.

She was a legendary figure, a genius neurosurgeon, a renowned lawyer and one of pillars of wildlife conservation. Her brainpower was too horrifying that the government saw her as an imposing threat to their jurisdiction. One day Feng Jiang Lei was sent to work for diplomatic relations with the terrorists and deal with the aftermath of risking her life to fulfill her duty. It could have been successful, but she was assassinated and died by the hands of her childhood best friend. Remembering that no matter how important a person is to you, there will come a time that love will abandon and betray you.

He was the son of an affluent technological expert, a professor from Harvard University and the heir to AdTech-Space Developers Corporation. Professor Qin Xue Rong spearheaded the expedition to Jupiter and ventured the lands of the unknown yet one night the great red spot appeared without warnings, thus putting everyone at risk. He could have saved his life, but he sacrificed his own to save his people and send them back to earthly safely. He was then sucked by the storm, bringing with him was a 17-Petaflop Titan Supercomputer and Valkyria the most advanced space humanoid robot.

But the gods seemed to have different plans. Two lost souls with untimely death were fated to meet in the era of the past and change the mistakes of the history. One became the wicked and outrageous miss who was banished to the mountains as the star of destruction. While the other was the fool who was stripped from his noble title and left to rot in the forest. Despised and plotted against, will they survive the test of time?

"What are you inventing hubby?" she asked

"A cultivation booster for my wifey!" he answered

"Will we get richer?" she asked again

"Indeed the richest!" he answered and kissed her forehead gently.

I sat under a tree, took out my notepad and scanned through what I had written while I scrapped the rest since it is of no use and takes up space. I tore off the pages and burnt it to asked near the base of the tree to turn it into compost.

At last, I put the notepad down as I roughly made about 14 days of 4 recipes each for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I have not made the schedule for the puddings, cakes, pastries, muffins, pies and biscuits but some of the recipes can be made rotational into mid-morning or mid-afternoon snacks as well.

The children clamoured after me as they had completed more than level 3 at 60% progressed and I handed them the 100 points to them on top of the 10 points that they've gained through the level up.

After Patricia has received another 100 points from me, she had allocated all into her 5 attributes and hers looks like this: STR +162, DEX +162, CONS +162, INT +197, WIS +162 while the children's stats looked like this: STR +194, DEX +206, CONS +194, WIS +194 after allocating 110 points into 4 attributes.

"Come on, let's go and see how well you perform on your next quest. Let's meet with Quest Master Becky then." I stood up and Jane took my notepad and read what I had written while I was waiting for them to finish the grinding. 

"Oh. My. God... You are going to teach them to make a burger and fried, Daddy? So many dishes in one day... Oh yeah... I almost forgot we have 20 junior members to feed. Hehe." said Jane as she looked in amazement at what we are going to have for the next month as I had made up about 60 menus excluding the desserts. 

The children all looked at my notepad and saw the list of menus and can't stop their stomachs from growling. They soon exchanged their wild boar's hide for credits and then heads back to accomplish their second Quests.
...
"Hi Becky, we are here to send them in for their second quest. Hah hah hah... It had been some time since they had done their first quest and right now they are just about to do their second one." I greeted Rebecca who was waiting for the last 4 adventurers before she calls it quits and back to her normal life.

"Oooh... Finally. They are ready, aren't they? Well, one at a time and once you come out wait a while before I issue to the next niece if mine. But seriously, juggling between a Quest Master and an aunt sometimes is a real headache for me." replied Rebecca as she began to narrate for help to the adventurers.

"Please, adventurer. Tend to my son while I go and get some medicine for him." Rebecca started her role as a quest master and asked for assistance from the children. "Adam, you go ahead first and accept the offer to help Quest Master Becky," I said to Adam and he nodded his head and did a little role play.

Adam opened the door and went into Rebecca's house and when he shut the door after him, he saw the two hoodlums with their weapons drawn. "Oh, look at what the crafty puss...." before they could finish their sentence, Adam had shot the two hoodlums at point blank and they were thrown back and their bodies disintegrated into the ground. 

He merged and Rebecca approached him and said, "Thank you there, adventurer. Here, I found this when they were pushing me around and demands me to hand over my purse to them. It's a Ring of Strength." she presented the ring to Adam and he took it and thanked. 

"That was easy... What could I do with this ring, Daddy?" Adam asked as he held the fingers and tries to see its attributes. 

"Keep it then, it serves as a remembrance that you had completed the second quest, just like me." I showed Adam my little pinky and there's the ring that I got from Rebecca that time. 

"It's Ingles turn now." I tapped Ingles as she got her Assassin's compact crossbow ready in hand as she accepted the quest and once she has done so, she barged in and shot the two hoodlums dead. 

When she emerged from the door, she too got a similar ring from Rebecca. Jane took the quest and after accepting it she, she enters and a little while later she emerges with her two crossbows tucked at her sides as she flashed a Victory sign with her fingers across her eye. 

Lastly, it was Kayla's turn to accept the quest and the moment she enters and closed the door after her, I heard blood-curdling shrieks coming from her and soon after she emerges from the door. "Daddy...!!! Those hoodlums are really hideous... Where did the director pick those two guys from? They were brandishing their swords and jumped from that corner of the house and I shot a few bolts at them." 

"They got no chance to speak and I had my eyes closed on that moment as I shot the crossbows right in front of me. Really, Daddy... Those men were really ugly and they looked fiercer than lions trapped in a cage...!!!" 

We all laughed at Kayla as she went to receive the ring and that ends the task of Quest Master Becky for the whole period. She had been repeating the same requests over and over again until she had lost count and was there to wait for the 4 of them to complete the quest. 

"Hah Hah Hah... Now I can go back being the Rebecca you used to know. Phew... I guess my task is done now unless there are new adventurers popping from other towns. So how was your grinding at the Northern Forest?" Rebecca asked Patricia as she saw that the latter was holding to a Mark of Magi as everyone heads back to the Castle. 

"Well, we had a lot of fun blasting the wild boars into smithereens with my frost and lightning bolts. Furthermore, I'm there to level up, the same goes to our children." Patricia replied to her sister in law. 

"Daddy has made a lot of recipes and menus for next month starting tomorrow, am I right Daddy?" exclaimed Ingles in her excitement as she had worn the ring on her pinky and kept sliding out so she kept it around her amulet instead. 

"Yes, that's for the apprentices, and since Auntie Becky is free now, she may help to mind the junior members as well in the first part of the morning. Uncle Prius had also completed his task being the Quest Master so everyone can chip in."

"So the internship would commence tomorrow am I right? Wow... I can't wait to try every single recipe that your Daddy would teach to those apprentices." Rebecca replied as we walked in the town square and got ourselves a cold soda first from the vendors.
.....
"Hmm, excuse me. I can't help noticing the staff that you are holding. I am Cyrus and I am the youngest siblings from the House of Light. Are you a fellow Wizard that came over to our store many days back?" 

a young man hurriedly approached and introduced himself to us. By the looks of him, he may not even have passed his 16th birthday with a boyish look and scrawny little arms beneath his cloak that was made of light blue material.

"Well, hello there Cyrus. Yes, we are all fellow Wizards and don't be fooled by our battle gear as well. We are from the Castle of Keating and these seniors here are the new breed of Ranger-Assassin-Wizards. What is special about the staff I am carrying right now?"

Patricia replied as she introduced herself and the children to Cyrus. She eyed him with suspicion and is able to read his body language and his intent even before he opened Cyrus opened up his mouth to speak the next sentence.

My name is Sam. I had somehow being thrown into a void where flickers from the fragments if my memories flashes by on the so called big projection screen. It was as if a roulette of choices as it played over modern day era and right till medieval England or Celtics.

I don't know how long I have been in this void since I had met with a horrendous traffic accident and its like a waiting room, to wait and answer before God or my Maker?

There was no telling of time since the will to eat, drink and even to relive myself had been suppressed. It was like as if I'm hanging in mid air, in between the hands of time.

Well... Only God knows where He had placed me right now.
