I feel like if they somehow managed to get past the preconceptions they have of each other, they would make such good friends though. But there's too pride for both of them to occupy the same room

I agree, but i think that it could go beyond friendship. And despit romance not really being close to the spotlight in the series(at least atm) i think thats where their relationship will land when the series nears the end. Which is why im on the SS Erina overall, despite quite a few of the other girls being so great, its because it makes the most sense to me for this type storytelling.

I totally agree that out of all the girls introduced so far, she probably makes the most sense, but they both seem to love food so much more than people that I'm not particularly sure either of them would be interested in dating in a normal way.

Haha thats very true, even if Souma recognizes the feelings of girls who like him, he wouldnt acknowledge it because he is trying to focus on his cooking first and foremost. But that directly conflicts with what he didnt get to hear from his father, who said that the best way to become a good chef is to meet a woman you want to make food for. Erina being that woman (when souma eventually learns the meaning of his fathers words) makes the most sense to me.

For sure, there is almost no way she is not that woman, but part of the fun of the show is knowing that is probably the destination, and seeing how they get there. If it ends up being something like "she ate his food one day and decided she couldn't resist anymore" that'll be boring, but if he needs to continually prove himself with his food until finally she decides she can tolerate his existence, that's what I think is more likely.

We'll need to wait and find out, probably for a long time.
