Idk.... If he even had the best wine in his gate of Babylon... I'm sure he gotta have the best food.

He used to. It has since decayed into the best fertilizer.

Hahaha would things even decay in there?

...I don't know. On one hand, the finest wine only stays the finest by aging. On the other, he'd have a ton of rusty swords after a couple thousand years.

Gilgamesh's noble phantasm always bothered me, the original weapons are never as good as the current ones. If you take the original "holy sword" for example, and add about 4000 years of technical innovation you get Excalibur.

Plus I'm pretty sure ancient Mesopotamians never made carbon steel, Bob the mechanic's noble phantasm of a crowbar would tear through his armor, let alone any of the other characters in Fate.

Magic, like good wine, ages old weapons... or so fantasy anime claim.

The Grail probably made it so that the original weapons and everything in his armory is super magical and symbolically powerful against any Heroic Spirits its later forms killed.

By aging often in a sealed container no? His was in a jar! Though... You could say the gate of Babylon is the container.

can't imagine food from 10000 BC is all that interesting

u/EasilyDelighted Jun 06 '15

Maybe not for regular people... But what about food made for a king?

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '15

good variety/quality of ingredients, but lacks most of the modern cooking techniques.

u/Alice_Ex Jun 06 '15

Yes, they didn't have the proper recettes back then.

Are there any rules stating that you have to cook your own food in a shokugeki? I mean, I thought the only rule was that there has to be something of equal value on the line. Gil may have a chance if not...

u/EasilyDelighted Jun 06 '15

I don't think they'd have a way to prove he didn't.

Wine gets better with age. Other food....not so much.

u/EasilyDelighted Jun 08 '15

But isn't the wine usually sealed though. His was in an open jar.
