There are many different definitions of "good food".
Some people are satisfied with an ordinary meal and find it very tasty. Some people every day the mountains and the sea, but also still feel tasteless, thinking that it is really not as good as that deep mountain game Wang Bao. Eat for a long time, will also feel tired. So it seems that there may be no strict sense of food, only the concept of food in time, which may be because with the change of time and space, people's ideas and tastes will naturally change, which is beyond human control. If man could control it, then he would not feel tired of eating anything.
What is food? Is it because a beautiful-looking, good-looking dish, full of beauty and aroma, is considered gourmet, or is it because it tastes good, that it is considered gourmet. Of all the judgments, delicious is the closest thing to what everyone thinks. No matter how you choose the ingredients, what techniques you use to cook, what garnishes you use and what flavors you create, the most essential thing is still that it tastes good. Putting aside some forms, simple handmade, in the process of highlighting the simple texture.
So, do the abalone, scallops and oysters, and the big lobsters that people say are in star hotels count as food? Or the Netflix store food you can just whip out, the buffet of seemingly hearty delicacies? Actually, it may or may not count. For those who can't eat well, most people have tastes that don't necessarily suit them. For someone who is accustomed to eating, a five-kernel mooncake may be considered a delicacy, so what? Then what he considers gourmet food may simply be nothing more than everyday plain dishes, or like the scene depicted in "Tongue and Tongue", home-cooked food is the most delicious, far more so than the fancy dishes of those hotels, big restaurants and concept stores.
As far as the tastes of a gourmet's tasting are concerned, any single exaggerated review and expression is just a demonstration of his own personal tastes. Or, in the view of the earlier scribes who wrote about snacks, what best suits their own tastes is considered gourmet. Cuisines that the masses love are, at best, a collective subservience, thinking they've never eaten them before, or because, as a foodie, you don't feel awesome if you don't eat all the food in the world. In your own opinion, what is delicious is not the concept of "food", but rather a kind of marketing substitution, let the collective into it, to create more mystery. A lot of it is hype from foodies, or as tastes change, people are starting to notice the possibilities of food for health.
And in the exquisite cooking process, see some stories and inspiration to expand, with the story of the restaurant, coupled with seemingly bland dishes, if he really for each customer to present a sincere work, then he is at least worthy of being respected.
Just like the bowl of egg "eclipsed rice" in "God of Food," it's just a bowl of ordinary barbecued pork rice, but it can impress a high-level judge, which is indeed interesting.
