Mamono Realm Jam

Mamono Realm Jam is a food described in detail in Monster Girl Encyclopedia World Guide - Side II book.

Book Entry

Mamono Realm Jam is a jam made from the fruits of various mamono realm plants, and in appearance it is quite indistinguishable from ordinary jams consumed in human countries. Nevertheless, most mamono realm jams are infused with mamono mana from the fruits of the mamono realm plants that were used to make them. In others, the mamono mana is stored directly inside the jar. Such jam takes on a deeper flavor because it was saturated with monster mana directly at the time of preparation.

The mamono realm of Lescatie is widely known as the land of Mamono Realm Jam, and many different jams made from the fruits of a variety of mamono realm plants, which were brought from other mamono realms, adorn the dining tables of its inhabitants. In addition to mamono and incubi living in Lescatie favorably eating jams, a wide range of jams on the store shelves is also available to tourists from other countries.

Also, the fact that Mamono Realm Jam is hard to distinguish from ordinary jam is very convenient for the radical monsters of Lescatie. By exporting Mamono Realm Fruit Jams with a strong magical component to human countries, especially jams from the "Prisoner Fruit", which turns women into mamono right at the time of eating, more and more people are invited into the path of sweet corruption by "food." Eventually a new Mamono Realm is created. Mamono Realm Jam is known as a special product of Lescatie, but its origins go back to the days of the former theocracy. One might even say that the love of Mamono Realm Jam is a "relic" from the days when the country was ruled by the Order.

As I mentioned in the section on diplomacy, although Lescatie was a great country under the Order, the industries of Lescatie itself were underdeveloped. Among them, the production of "jam" could perhaps be called one of the country's few specializations. Even then, Lescatie produced so many types of jam that it became world-famous for this product, and was called the Holy Land of Jam. Normally, jam making is limited to a few types of those crops that grow in a given region. But thanks to the wide variety of crops that were brought into the country as payment for the "loan" of military strength to its neighbors, Lescatie was able to produce dozens of different types of jam. Jam was one of the achievements of the Lescatian army and was a symbol of the country's great strength and breadth of influence. It seems that jam was one of the few foodstuffs that both ordinary people and aristocrats freely consumed in Lescatie at that time. Although they ate the same product, jam, the cost of a jar might have been very different. The poor could afford only cheap jam, which had already lost its marketable appearance and could not be sold, or made of spoiled fruit, whereas only a handful of the wealthiest people could eat high-quality jam made from rare fruits that had come from distant countries and whose importation was rather difficult.

In Lescatie, jam played the role of the main "decoration" of the simple dishes that people ate. It was also a boon for the many soldiers of the Order who, because of the ability to store it long term, could eat jam even when they were on expeditions in distant lands. Although the culture underwent a striking change in the Mamono Realm of Lescatie, many things remained that were inherited by it unchanged, including the culture of making this jam. Although ordinary jam is now obtained somewhat differently... Since it is delivered thanks to what is known as "Magical Logistics."
