https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugu#RegulationsFirst how would we cut away the poison in mostly liquid material? Well first you'd probably boil or cook out and separate all its toxins, not cut it away. So not really cooking skill beyond knowing how to boil.
Great, let's do that inside the game too.LadyGoo wrote:The fugu cooker has to have the licence after 2-3 apprenticeship in Japan.
Don't be silly. Just get high enough cooking to not to get poisoned = meaning for high cooking skills.Granger wrote:Great, let's do that inside the game too.
Maybe you misunderstood what I was getting at. Cutting toxin out of slime, wouldn't be consistent logic because slime is likely a non-newtonion fluid. You don't "cut" fluids, you boil and cook them. And if slime was poison, you wouldn't likely nuetralize the poison by cutting it away, because most likely all of the fluid would be poison. The best way to seperate elements in a liquid is by boiling. Slimes would be a great way to introduce Alchemy/Chemistry, but a terrible way to implement a Fugu Fish like mechanic. For that I think Cave Fish would make for more interesting fishing, and cooking direction for such a mechanic.LadyGoo wrote:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugu#RegulationsFirst how would we cut away the poison in mostly liquid material?

The fugu cooker has to have the licence after 2-3 apprenticeship in Japan. So, it could be said that cooking poisonous fish/whatever requires skills.

You're not very well versed in various cooking techniques, obviously. And then there's actual chemistry (materials interactions) involved in cooking in that knowing how to apply the right amount of heat for the proper temperature range, separation of substances (or the prevention thereof), and all kinds of other little trickery that's used. I think Goo has a good idea there.KaiMolan wrote: First how would we cut away the poison in mostly liquid material?

So you think cutting away a fluid, that looks to have the consistency of cornstarch or less solid jello (once the electricity/life has stopped) is the smarter way than boiling it and separating out the poison like you would fat from soup? Hell freezing/cooling then cutting it would make sense but not straight up cutting away the toxin. Please do me a favor, and go make two batches of cornstarch, one smaller batch of dyed cornstarch , and then just layer one on the other, or put a couple drops in, your choice really. Then try to seperate the two. Tell me how that knife cutting goes. Sure you'll seperate it if you cut enough away, but what about what's mixed in or hidden? Chances are the two liquids are of different density, and you will more easily seperate them by boiling.MagicManICT wrote:You're not very well versed in various cooking techniques, obviously.
