The United States has the most ridiculed food in the world, simple and rude practices, and even exotic foods such as starry sky pie and black pudding. There is almost nothing but sausages, bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, eggs, baked beans and toast. As the writer Mao Mu said: Eat like a king in the morning and like a beggar at noon.
Simple thinking is another reason why American food is bad, and it is also the biggest difference between American food and Chinese food.
For example, in order to eat, people in China can spare no effort to stew good rice with fresh shrimp, blue crab and squid for three to four hours until protein breaks down into small molecular amino acids and starch becomes dextrin or maltose. A spoonful of seafood porridge has a faint sweetness at the entrance, and finally gives a thumbs up: "fresh and sweet"! But Americans are different. They want to eat sweets. Just a few spoonfuls of sugar. For example, American ice cream is a dessert. Just put sugar in it. Another example is that people in China emphasize that cooking should be "delicious". Under the limited seasoning, the taste can penetrate into the food in various ways. But Americans will think, just sprinkle salt.
Being tolerant may be a cultural advantage in other aspects, but when it comes to food, it is definitely a defect of American food. This inclusiveness has never reflected the inclusiveness of global cuisine like China and Hongkong. Unlike the Japanese, they don't turn West Point into foreign fruit to improve their taste. Perhaps out of strong cultural self-confidence, American chefs often make foods from different countries conform to American lifestyles and eating habits before tasting them.
There is a saying that what you can do is not as good as what you can say, and what you can say is not as good as what you can eat.
