Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! [Season 1 Episode 11]

Okay, guys, let’s dive into the finale of Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! Season 1—Episode 11 just dropped, and it’s the perfect wrap-up to Melphiera’s wild monster meat mission. If you haven’t been keeping up, Mel’s this noble lady with a totally unhinged (but low-key awesome) obsession: she’s obsessed with turning monster meat into gourmet dishes and breaking her kingdom’s dumb stigma against it. And Episode 11? It’s her biggest swing yet—and let’s just say, it lands.

First off, let’s recap the vibe of the series for anyone who’s been living under a rock: Mel’s not your average fancy noble. She’d choose a plate of dragon tail stew over a diamond-encrusted cupcake any day. Her goal? To prove that monster meat isn’t gross or dangerous—it’s just underrated cuisine. And in this final episode, she goes all out: she throws a massive feast for every stuffy noble in the kingdom, and every dish is made with monster ingredients.

The best part? The Blood-Mad Duke (you know, the guy who saved her earlier) is right there with her. He’s usually all brooding and tough, but in this episode, he’s low-key Mel’s biggest hype man. When the nobles start side-eyeing the goblin mushroom risotto, he steps up and takes a bite first—then gives this deadpan nod that says, “This slaps.” The way the nobles panic a little but then follow suit? Hilarious. I replayed the scene where Lord Harrington (the most stuck-up noble ever) takes a tentative bite of shadow wolf steak and then proceeds to hoard the entire platter—chef’s kiss.

Fans on forums like MyAnimeList are losing it over the chemistry between Mel and the Duke here. One user said their dynamic is “like a chaotic foodie and her silent bodyguard who secretly loves her weirdness,” and I couldn’t agree more. There’s this sweet moment where Mel’s so busy running around the feast that she forgets to eat, and the Duke slides her a plate of her favorite—griffin kebab—without saying a word. It’s small, but it’s the kind of detail that makes you go, “Aww, they get each other.”

And let’s talk about the food animation! The colors are so bright and vivid—you can almost smell the garlic butter on the monster ribs or the sweetness of the slime jelly desserts. It’s the kind of animation that makes you hungry, even if you’re not into the whole “monster meat” thing. Voice acting is on point too: Mel’s excited squeals when someone likes her food are contagious, and the Duke’s deep, monotone lines add just the right amount of humor to every scene.

By the end of the episode, Mel actually wins most of the nobles over. There’s this heartwarming moment where an old count who initially called monster meat “barbaric” asks for a second helping of the goblin risotto. He even says, “I never thought I’d say this, but… pass the monster meat, milady!” Which is the perfect callback to the show’s title. It’s such a satisfying payoff—Mel didn’t just change a few minds; she’s actually starting a revolution in her kingdom’s cuisine.

But wait, does the episode leave room for a Season 2? Oh, absolutely. The last scene shows Mel staring at a map of neighboring kingdoms, saying she wants to try monster meat from all over the world. The Duke leans in and says, “I’ll come with you.” Cue the fan theories about their next adventure! Everyone’s already begging for more episodes—myself included.

If you’re into lighthearted fantasy comedies that don’t take themselves too seriously, this episode (and the whole series) is a must-watch. It’s got humor, heart, and a totally unique premise that sets it apart from other slice-of-life animes. Plus, it’s on Crunchyroll, so you can binge the whole season in one sitting (trust me, you’ll want to).

Overall, Episode 11 is the perfect finale. It wraps up Mel’s first big mission while leaving us wanting more. Whether you’re here for the funny moments, the cute interactions, or just the weirdly appealing idea of monster meat cuisine, this episode delivers. So go watch it—then hit me up in the comments: would you try Mel’s monster meat dishes? Be honest! 😉

P.S. The IMDb rating is 6.3, but don’t let that fool you—this show’s way more fun than a number can say. Give it a shot!
P.P.S. Shoutout to the light novel authors Kanata Hoshi and Peperon for creating such a chaotic, lovable world. We need more of Mel’s adventures!
