I Became a Food Developer in Another World

In the Empire, what people enjoyed eating while watching plays was 'candy.'

Sweet candies not only alleviated the boredom in their mouths but also didn't make any noise when eaten, so they didn't interfere with the concentration required for the play.

When theater was an elegant pastime exclusive to the upper class, then candy alone would have sufficed.

However, the fame of the Beast Cards and the Emperor's active promotion of the 'viewing culture' have expanded the reach of theater beyond the upper class to the general populace of the Empire.

Then, the shortage of 'candy' began to become apparent.

"Even after eating, I'm still not full."

"I was watching a play and got hungry, so I went to eat in the middle."

To the citizens of the Empire who valued 'fullness' above all else, candy did not even provide a hint of satisfaction.

As a result, people started bringing frozen chicken and ramen into the theater to watch plays.

When they brought in food that smelled, of course, a fight broke out among the audience.

Food that emits strong odors in a theater that required concentration became a distraction during the performance.
