Although I was born in Huaiyang area, the highest level of the country is * * *, but the state banquet is for guests, not for myself, so we should rule out the regional complex such as Premier Zhou.
Huaiyang cuisine has a light taste and is more suitable for foreigners. Especially in the early days of the People's Republic of China, the international influence of Chinese food was limited.
When it comes to dishes, the grass roots of Sichuan cuisine are too distinct. Starting from hot pot and snacks, the spicy taste is too exciting and there are too few top-grade dishes. More suitable for restaurants and people's dining tables. In high-end restaurants, it is not only inferior to Cantonese cuisine, but even inferior to Shandong cuisine.
From the perspective of the class supporting vegetables, Chengdu and Chongqing citizens are the main classes, Yangzhou salt merchants are the rich, and the poor and the rich judge each other.
So there is no need to exaggerate the status of Sichuan cuisine, although the influence of the universe is the first.
It is difficult for everyone to adjust. Sichuan cuisine is spicy, Shandong cuisine is spicy, Guangdong cuisine is sweet, and Huaiyang cuisine is light, spicy and acceptable. People who like sweets have no problem eating Huaiyang cuisine, so Huaiyang cuisine is relatively more suitable for the public.
Sichuan cuisine is a state banquet.
At that time, many famous dishes in Beijing Hotel 100 were Sichuan cuisine, and several chefs in Sichuan Hotel were all state banquets.
Many people say that Sichuan food is mainly spicy and can't go to the state banquet. Actually, they are talking nonsense. Sichuan banquet dishes are probably not spicy, just like nine bowls in the country. None of them are spicy. There are few Sichuan dishes and spicy dishes at state banquets.
The reason why Sichuan cuisine gives people a spicy feeling is that most people who went out to work in the province in the early days were trying to make money and save money. Spicy dishes are popular, easy to operate and cheap. Eating spicy food can stimulate appetite and send meals. Therefore, the popularity of spicy food has spawned more small factions, such as Jianghu dishes and home-cooked dishes.
In the past, state banquets may be considered too grand and complicated, with inconvenient transportation and less population movement between cuisines, so taking care of taste has become the first priority.
It's completely different now. State banquets can also highlight the characteristics. In 20 17, Lei Jun of Xiaomi Company produced a state banquet menu with five main courses, including two western-style dishes (baked seafood with cream tomato and beef) and three Sichuan dishes (tofu pudding with chicken, kung pao chicken and boiled fish). This chicken tofu pudding may not be known to many people. It looks like tofu pudding, but it's actually made of chicken and tastes like tofu pudding.
