Shipgirls teach: Curry of the World, Part 1 [untypeset]

Translated from http://www.acfun.tv/a/ac1571499

>Special Expeditionary Order - Ethnic Curry Observation Diary! (I made up the Diary part, "Ethnic Curry Observations" or "we must observe Ethnic Curry" didn't seem quite as good)
>[We must eat even more curry]
>Shipgirls teach: Curry of the World, Part 1 (could be chapter 1 as well)

>"Navy Curry" and the Imperial Japanese Navy are virtually indistinguishable.  At the time, nutritional deficiencies due to inadequate diets among sailors led to the incidence of beriberi. This was believed to be due to protein deficiency.  Therefore, the military's meals were altered to a western standard.  However, the enlisted men and lower ranks were left with nothing to satiate their hunger but bread, leading to widespread discontent.
 >The IJN began imitating Great Britain, their allies at the time, combining stew with curry and then pouring it on rice--and so curry over rice was born.
>Apart from using a variety of nutritious vegetables and meats, corn starch was added to thicken the stew and inhibit spillage on a rocking ship.  This is one of the specialties of Navy Curry.

>(Kinu:) Ehhh, it's Curry again?!
>(Satsuki:) We've had enough of curry
>(Tone:) I want something different!
>(Miyuki:) We're against curry!
>(KTKM:) don't make that shit no more
>(Sendai): that's right!

>Hm, well it's not like I can't sympathize.  Eating too much of a dish, no matter how good, will make you hate it.
>[<--- this week's secretary ship]
>how picky.
>This is quite the reaction, though.
>What we're eating normally is just the Japanese Navy equivalent of Ramen, after all.
>No matter how much the ingredients change, the taste is pretty much constant.
>But curry is not something only Japan has!!
>Therefore, in order to expand the options available to our mess halls, I'm entrusting this special expedition to you guys!  Visit the nations of the world, research their curry and their special characteristics, and then report to me.
>And so, dividing into groups of several fleets, the shipgirls fanned out.
With south Asia as the focal point, they embarked in order to fill their mess halls with new ethnic curries.
>Though it was also because they had eaten curry to the point of vomiting.

>[Thailand]
>Let's introduce thailand's curry first!  What i'm eating is green curry!
>It has a crisp, herbal, healthy aroma, but it sure is spicy!!
>I'm eating Massaman Curry.  It's not as spicy and has a richer taste.
>Big pieces of chicken and taro combine for a very full flavor.
>The nuts in it give it a bit of an exotic feel too!

>This is the red curry.
>This curry uses the most red pepper, but it has a bit of a sweet flavor to it.
>Let me have a taste
>Sure, it's really great.
>Do you want to burn me to death?!
>Houshou's eating it without a glance...scary...

>[Myanmar]
>Eh--so this is Burmese curry!
>Beef curry
 >For an outsider, it looks pretty wierd.
>This...rather than a curry...
>It might be more realistic to say it's just meat with a very thick sauce.
>Mmmmm....spicy and delicious...it's great with rice.
>Ah...

>Though the taste is very thick, it's really oily.
>[this can't be good for digestion...]
>Indeed.
>For the young shipgirls, this might be a little too heavy.
>Is it?
>I didn't really feel that off.
>I actually really like this, though?
>It's because of this that heavy cruisers....
>KTKM and Abukuma have found a rare thing they are united on.

>[The Phillipines]
>I'd like an order of Chicken and coconut-milk curry (shit's nasty, I tried)
>Also!  Could I get four servings of Sisig and this adobong baboy?
>Uwaah
>You're just ordering things that have nothing to do with our mission!
>Boiled and salted Pork
>A Sauteed mix of Pig face, Pig liver, and pig ear
>Curry milk and chicken curry

>It seems like the Filipinos really like sweet flavors.
>Seems about right. Even though it's a curry, it's not particularly spicy.
>[ara, it's good]
>The pork seems a bit like a Filipino version of (Pork Kakuni/豚の角煮/猪肉角煮)... [really soft]

>This Sisig snack looks kind of like junk food, with all that spice and oil.
>[Vinegar + olive oil + a raw egg = an egg yolk-flavored flavoring.]
>But just add a little lemon juice it becomes a lot clearer and it becomes easier to eat, Zuikaku.
>Ah, Akagi-san, you forgot to add the sauce.
>Hm?
>[--> already finished]
>If it's Akagi eating, the flavor doesn't really matter too much.
 >[of coursh <3]
>[should I order a little more?]

>On the other hand, on base
>speaking of curry, that curry bread Verniy made was really good.
>Ah...that's not a curry bun, that's a russian fried dumpling (Pirozhki).
>[There's a saying that curry buns originated from pirozhki]
>Does Germany have curry?
>Curry?
>Well, we do have a German curry sausage, if that counts!
>Just take a roast sausage and sprinkle on enough ketchup and curry powder...
>Well, you could call this curry...
>Isn't the sausage the most important part?

>If you ask me, Japan has some really great curries too.
>Musashi, do you have any curries you'd recommend?
>Gorilla Curry (Go! Go! Curry - http://oyatsucafe.com/image/data/candies/potatosnacks/go-go-curry-potato-snacks-2.png )'s light -- ship curry (I don't know exactly what this means, it's using the characters of "light (as in not heavy)", o indicates --, and then the word for a part of a ship or plane (轻o舱) is the best curry!
>[Ingredients: one chicken Egg, two crsipy-skinned sasuages, chicken fillet, tenderloin, Fried Shrimp]
>luxurious ornaments and pitch-black sauce really stirs the appetite!
>In that case, 梅家 (note: I couldn't figure out what they referred to.  If this is the Japanese word then it'd be Ume-ka.  If it's a transliteration the pronounciation is Meija, but could be Meica (http://www.meica.de/en/products/curryking/), but that would be out of character).  Beef curry over rice is also amazing!!
>Western curry and Japanese traditional beef combine perfectly!
>That may be, but store-bought dishes too pricey, so they're out of the question.
>[author's note: a Beef Curry over Rice costs 962 yen per serving, while the light vessel curry costs 2404 yen, which either indicates this is a huge serving or nips are fucking rich to spend 24  dollars on a single dish]

>[Vietnam]
>Mmmm....this spring roll appetizer.....it's too thick, I can't fit it into my mouth.
>Mmm >mmmmeehhh....
>misleading camera angle
>Vietnamese Curry Chicken
>Ah, there's a garlic smell to it.
>This kind of curry uses a rather thin sauce and is eaten like a soup, huh.
>Then let's quickly learn about Vietnam's curry.
>In terms of ingredients, we have large pieces of chicken, diced radish and diced garlic.

>Sweet potato's been added to the soup curry...the sweetness gives it a mild taste.
>Mmm...though it's very delicious, it's not quite shocking enough for people used to spice like us.
>I also feel
>it's just not provocative enough.
>Is it?  I (wagahai, naturally) really love this curry!
>I wish I could eat this every day!
 >Ah, so the taste is oriented towards children.

>[Ethiopia (isn't Ethiopia landlocked?)]
>Special expedition my ass...what were they thinking?
>They made us run all the way here for curry.
>Hmph...after all, they don't see us as important combat assets anyway!
>Alright!  We're in a store, so settle down!
>They say Ethiopia's curry is extremely spicy.
>You're all fine with spice, right?  Do you guys want something different
>Oyoy, I won't be scared of something like curry.  For a shipgirl, this kind of spicy food is just a snack!
>I've eaten Gogo curry (see Musashi's page) and I always get level 10 spiciness.
>Thank you for the wait (too lazy to draw an actual negro huh)

>Pelepele pepper, herbs and spices and combined with butter, tiny pieces of garlic and tomatoes, and then combined with cooked chicken.  It's accompanied by a bread called injula.
>This spiciness that fills my nose...what is this?!
>It's so strong my eyes hurt!!
>Can we really eat this?
>Hmph!  It  can't be hlped then, let me deal with it!
>You guys can go eat the kid's meals for lunch then!
>[amazing <3 so reliable <3]
>Areh?
>It doesn't seem as spicy as expected?
>[At this rate I can finish it all and then...]

>I...it... >It only just kicked in!
>That's right, I'll have a bite of the bread that came with it...
>These vegetables in rum are really amazing!  It goes so well with the bread.
>Where the hell was my part?
>[It's already been finished -->]
>Shit!  If I stop the spiciness gets even more unbearable
>I'll just have to keep going!
>Here, Tenryuu-chan, Ice water <3
>Thanks, Tatsuta!!
>It doesn't help at allllllll!!!!
>Water triggers and sensitizes the taste buds--if you try to use it to quench your thirst, you'll get the opposite effect!

>I feel as if....
>Here, another cup! <3
>Tatsuta-chan's deliberately messing with Tenryuu-san?
>Hm?
 >I acclimated to the spiciness?!
>This curry is actually super good!
>Huhu...today was wonderful.
>She couldn't bear to lose face, huh....
>I like strong girls like that, you know.
>From then on, three more destroyers joined the "I don't want to oppose Tasuta" club.

>[Peru]
>Eh, Peruvian curry is white
>That pyramid rice is so cool!
>fun fact regarding Peruvian Beans: Surrounded by the Andes, Peru is a nation with an air of mystery, maintaining many ancient traditions. Cusco's Machu Pichu ruins remains largely a mystery.
 >Aji de Gallina: A peruvian dish, combining chicken, potatoes, eggs, black olives (the word is actually to small for me to properly read, but according to the recipes black olives are in there so why not) and parmesan cheese, all cooked into a chowder
>Ohh!  It's really good!  >Mmm mmm, the cheese gives it a really mild taste
>This is super good!
>[It's Nenohi!/Nenohi day]

>It has a little bit of spice and an unbelievable taste, pyon
>[It has a taste of Incan romance, pyon]
>Uhh, the menu says it's Chicken in a creamy cheese sauce.
>This isn't curry!!
>This meat is really good!
>It's called Kui--although it's my first time, I'm already addicted!
>A mix of other grilled meats
>What is Kui?
>Hm, according to google, it's guinea pig
>eh?
>[guinea pig...]
>Uwaah, nenohi ate a mouse, pyon
>[ain't that cannibalism pyon]
>Due to a shortage of guinea pigs toady, we switched to using rabbit meat, actually
>Pyon?!

>(on the left) [shipgirls teach - curries of the world!] - (title) - Don't you want to eat curry even more now?
>Hm....every country's curry has their own strong points.
>That's right.
>Speaking of which, I asked the western seas garrison fleet.  Apparently, Malaysia and Singapore use the fish heads in a fish head curry.
>Eh
>If it's fish, we can just skim on costs and take a few enemy scalps for that.
>[I'll kill them in a shot]
>An enemy destroyer's.... whole head...
>That's too barbaric, rejected!  [It looks horrid!!]
>eh
