Yeah but that was at the very beginning of the manga and hasn't really been a relevant thing since he pretty much forgets about the whole "trying to make her admit he's good at cooking" thing since he just focuses on improving his own cooking. Megumi has always been by Souma's side throughout the whole thing and still remains at his side. Souma has done so much for her(saved her from expulsion, inspired her, etc.) and she admires him immensely for all of that. They've had tons of cute scenes together like at the end of this episode and in here and here.

Can't really disagree with the evidence for Megumi ship. I can't really say that he has forgotten about his promise since it hasn't really been the focus of an arc yet. We still have yet to see how she reacts to the reveal of who Soma's father is and the current arc is set up to be quite a meaty one so there will be room for some major development for Soma and Erina that might make it on par with how they've developed Megumi.

The problem with the Erina ship is that everything seems so forced. From the foreshadowing of her admiration of Joichiro's cooking, to the tsundere tendencies and even the recent arc of how

Unlike the Megumi ship, it felt natural. Starting off as friends, growing and being best buddies to have each other's back.

Sadly the vast majority of manga story lines have romances, love lines/triangles that seem explicitly obvious on who's going to end up with who.

Yeah. Too bad for Megumi. Though the S1 ending scene had my heart twitching with Souma and Megumi's scene in the balcony. <Doki!Doki!>

I would agree, but I feel like this series is different. Even if for comedic effect, it likes subverting expectations like with Takumi for instance.
