[It's definitely a hodgepodge of ingredients tossed into a pot, but most stews tend to be that way - though Ochako took great care to make sure this dish could be eaten by just about anyone and everyone (meaning it's completely vegan). A rich and savory mushroom broth, thick cut veggies that are cooked through but still crisp and not soggy, and a hint of spice that causes a delightful tickle on the tongue and in the back of the throat. It's not exactly a summer dish by any means, but it's good.

And the server is all too happy to pour a helping to anyone who looks interested. ...Like this young man who is eyeballing the pot like a starving vulture. Ochako snorts quietly, beaming, and reaches for a bowl that was placed close by. ooh, just cleaned and still warm, too...perfect! That'll keep the stew nice and toasty by the time this guy finds a place to sit.]

Hello there!! Would you like a bowl? There's steamed rice coming up soon, too, if you want a side to go with it. [Because of course there's rice - what do you take her for?] No meat, but plenty of chunky potatoes and other really yummy veggies!!
