What a person likes and what they are actually eating are two different things.
Ah yes Yosai, also, what a person hears and what a persons listens to are two different things *nods sagely* Ah the perceptions of the world, I am sure there will be further conversations over games of go and shogi I expects the chefs to prepare a dish that is pleasing to the palette AND beautiful to the eye. It is not enough for the dish to taste good (with a complex blend of spices to add depth), it must also stir the other senses. It must also touch on a relevant topic of the current political interest, refelct on the seasons, or remind us of an important day in history.
Why, one meal we had celebrated the destruction of the Pirate Vessel The Kumo's Daughter. Live crabs were placed in boats of wood upon a large pot of water. Each boat was then lit ablaze, and the crabs roasted thusly. The sauce was red, for the blood spilled defeating the menace. Absolutely delightful nod to the courage and honor of the Crane clan.
I shan't complain of soldiers rations. I did, howvwer, expect soldiers of our status to eat better.
And be careful, Akodo-san. I may miss your meaning.
I have faith in our quartermaster that he has taken well in keeping us properly supplied for proper meals. How ever we were caught earlier in the town and there might be a harder rationing later. |

Congratulations you are going to spend the campaign celebrating with soldier rations. |

I am certain my cousin shall do his best.

Ooh, Dakishimeru, I tremble at your harsh and draconian punishment! |

On the food front:
The Legion itself does not have enough food stores to last the winter. The Dragon have graciously and compassionately allowed you to take from the stores of this town to feed the Imperial Legion for the winter. This valley is fertile and has a good deal of farmlands, though no rice patties.
That said,
The Legion itself does not have enough food stores to last the winter. The Legion demands resources from the town and has the military might to take it from the people if pushed. This valley is fertile but taxes are taken before winter and the little farmland the Dragon have get taken advantage of. Eta may have to do with less, but such it their burden in the celestial order for the glory of the Legion.

Hmm looks like I'll have to take the girls out to find their own food in the forests then. Not that I expected a Dragon town to stock enough of what they eat anyway. Mountain tuna only goes so far.

Suddenly, a Scorpion quartermaster makes more sense.  |

Back on topic, Amano's favorite food is this fried meat product developed in a far-distant nation. It's made from thinly sliced strips of swine.
