Meaning of 譲れん (譲れない)


Trying to figure out what 譲れない equates to in English. Context is that this is
from a manga, and the conversation is:

> Character 1: はぁ、相変わらず熱心だなァ。
>
> Character 2: 無論、僕は庭師だからな。庭だけは **譲れん** 。お前も料理に関しては **譲れん** だろう？それと同じだ。

I'm under the impression that 譲れない means "non-negotiable". However, if I were
to use that meaning, in English the above sentence would be something like:

> Of course, I'm a gardener after all. Gardening is the one thing I don't
> negotiate on. You also don't negotiate when it comes to cooking, do you?
> It's the same as that.

But I feel like I'm missing another meaning for 譲れない as "non-negotiable" in
this context doesn't seem to make much sense.




Unless you have to do a verb-for-a-verb type of translation, you might
consider using phrases such as:

> "I'm the boss/rulebook (when it comes to ~~)."
>
> "I'm second to none (in ~~)"

because that is the nuance of 「[譲]{ゆず}れない」 in this context.
