I have no idea who those scum are, but I'm sure that they have magical powers. My senior was right. I now believe in the existence of a recipe that everyone applauds. Or a recipe that sends everyone to a dreamland. It was nice to learn from them. Though my disease is not cured yet, I ended the time when I was scoffed as a cook not knowing the flavour of the ingredients I use, with my own very hands. Though I must make some of those disgusting foods.
