'Food Wars’ season 4 episode 11 release date, spoilers: Squid tentacle and peanut butter pairing helps Erina win

The last scenes from the previous week’s episode and the official title of “Food Wars” season 4 episode 11 suggest that Erina’s final dish for the Regimental Shokugeki would be unveiled. The notorious pairing of squid tentacles and peanut butter return in a major way and will help her win the final bout for the Rebel Alliance.

'Food Wars’ season 4 episode 11 spoilers: Erina’s main dish uses Soma’s notorious food pairing

The combination of the squid tentacles and peanut butter has been a recurring dish since the first episode of the series. Whether it is prepared by Soma or Joichiro, it has always seemed like merely a running joke. However, Erina uses these ingredients for her winning dish in “Food Wars” season 4 episode 11.

“Food Wars” season 4 episode 11 would point out that Erina’s God Tongue ability is somewhat the reason why she does not have a specialty yet. It allows Erina to make every dish she cooks as her best-tasting gourmet food ever.

However, “Food Wars” season 4 episode 11 is all about Erina breaking barriers, especially the misconstrued ideologies of Azami. Aside from suddenly changing her recipe, Erina will only have 10 minutes to cook. This calls for some fast-paced scenes with Soma helping her prepare the dish, more importantly, it requires Erina to be creative. A move that is totally against her father's wishes.

Erina reveals her dish is an Oyakodon, which she previously said was a low-class kind of food. Azami thinks the same and refuses to even taste it. However, he will oblige eventually after Rindo and Tsukasa are amazed by the pairing of Soma’s appetizer and Erina’s main dish.

The God Tongue maintains the croûte in her dish but makes it with finely minced squid tentacles and peanut butter. It would be explained in “Food Wars” season 4 episode 11 that the squid’s saltiness and bitterness complement Soma’s heavy meat appetizer.

“Food Wars” season 4 episode 11: Erina crushes Azami’s ‘True Gourmet’ ideology

Azami has been spewing the ideology that true gourmet means only perfectly following recipes and never subscribing to culinary creativity. Erina’s dish in “Food Wars” season 4 episode 11 encapsulates the total opposite of her father’s beliefs.

Even after tasting Erina’s food, Azami attempts to not recognize it is a great dish. But his bizarre “gift” that makes people around him involuntarily undress when he tastes a great dish will expose him. More people in the audience will become half-naked. For the first time in the competition, Azami’s top clothing goes off as well proving that Erina’s dish, paired with Soma’s appetizer, is an absolute winner.

The Rebel Alliance will be declared the winner of the Regimental Shokugeki as Azami walks off the stage. Without any delay, “Food Wars” season 4 episode 11 should be released on Saturday, Dec. 21.
