IIRC some culture's full course consist of 20 dishes or something...

UP NEXT; Teruzuki's at the abyssals. Probably with French hime.

But in general parlance, 'Full Course' really just refers to a multi-course meal that isn't just the starter/main/dessert (+/- coffee, soup and salad) set.

If you want to get crazy, a Korean royal court cuisine could 30+ dishes inside it. Admittedly, they're served à la française rather than the more expected à la russe, but it's a rather impressive display when it's taken to its culmination.

Degustation menus have become rather popular in recent times, though; while not the same as full-course, it's probably the closest that most people can really come close in a restaurant setting, as full-course restaurants (especially past 6 or 8 courses) are pretty thin on the ground (in my experience)

Now I feel bad when I didn't even have to farm for Teruzuki and she came to me twice in 2 continuous runs
And 1 run later, Akizuki came

While it's near impossible for us commoners to be able to enjoy it now, the Manhan Quanxi has at least 108 cuisines for the whole thing...

I've had a kaiseki before, and that was 7 courses. Needless to say, I was stuffed.

Mark this words! I bet 100$ for it.

Let's not forget thé best part about the french full course: you are served wine and liquor every few dishes. Usually red wine go with red méat, fish and white meat are served with white wine, etc... I can see Pola joining in.

As soon as she finds her cast-off clothes, she'll be joining :D

Poor Ido still can't rescue Teruzuki :(

You underestimate Pola. Clothes or none, she'll be there, prompto.

Richelieu: "No shirt or shoes, mademoiselle? No service!"

Has a soft spot for seeing younger girls' joyful faces.

Hell, add the fact that since Richelieu's a damn battleship, she'll probably UP THE SERVING.

I see that Iowa let Richelieu knew about the Ducks' scant exposure to the world of five cuisine so she could contribute to their education.

I seriously hope Ido does this.

im surprised akagi isnt here already
pola i can understand...... no popping of the cork yet :D

No better audience to help a chef feel welcome than feeding the ducks...

Realistically speaking, though, any meal with more than a dozen courses is going to either have nearly every course be cracker-sized, take at least a whole day to get through, or not expect its diners to actually eat something from every course. The Manhan Quanxi previously mentioned is a definite example of the latter, and was explicitly done solely as a display of "look how rich and powerful I am to be able to actually pull something this insane off!", and was done solely to cow emperors into awe with the ludicrous wealth they were willing to burn on one meal.

The color on the collar needs to be reversed. Then Richelieu would be considered as the Meilleure ouvrière de France.

Last Panel makes me want to take the Duckies to an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Really happy for the Akitsuki girls, getting to eat these. <3

Meaning you don't always want to give the duckies delicious food? You heartless monster!

whats le poisson?

The fish course.

Also Granités should be Gratinés. Aka Gratins.

I don't know why, but this seems like a colossal waste of dishes. So much to clean up afterwards. Not only the plates but also the kitchen with so many dishes made and pots used and all that. Also time making all that seeming super small potions where it seems to be more about how it looks (and probably tastes) rather than being just food.

That's usually what 5 star Meals are. Spending 100$ on a small Steak that's like 2 ounces. Most of the plate is used specifically for Garnish.

Like those super desserts where there is a small slice of cake in the middle of a plate that is drizzled with Chocolate syrup spread out in a zig zag pattern.

And at high-tier restaurants, a much larger proportion of the cost of the meal isn't the food itself, but the experience; which, while sounding incredibly naff, can be well worth it. Sure, you could make most of the food yourself, given time, but the total package really isn't something you can do on your own.

Corrected the note attached to the menu - thé is French for tea, and would be a traditional way to close out the meal.

The note for the full-course sign is screwy on mobile for some reason. Its way wider than it has to be, so most of the text is off the left of the screen.

I feel offended by the typos. But hey, someone finally remembers that avant-desserts are a thing.
