But inexplicably, the roast pig in western restaurant is a little different from the roast suckling pig in China. The biggest difference is that Barry has an apple in his mouth. After watching Good Friends of Cat and Mouse, you must be familiar with a clip involved. Tom's cat was knocked unconscious by a stronger cat, and then put it on a plate with an apple in its mouth. The imitation here is roast pig. Then why does the roast pig in the western restaurant always have a roast pig outside Barisai's mouth?
Many people think that putting an apple outside the roast pig's mouth is to combine the aroma of the apple company with the aroma of raw pork during the roasting process, so that the roasted raw pork will grow fruit aroma. Some people think that apple symbolizes safety and good luck, and it is better to put it in Barry's mouth. Others think that apples can digest and absorb the smell of pork, so that the roasted raw pork tastes better.
In fact, none of the above views are reliable, especially the statement that Apple is safe. Remember, only people in China will regard Apple as a sign of "safety", and this statement only appears because Apple's product "Ping" sounds safe and flat. So what's the use of this apple in the pig's mouth? Is raw pork really not tasty?
Originally, the function of this apple is very simple, that is, the effect of a "decorative design". Chefs in western countries pay great attention to the placement of dishes. When cooking a roast pig, the whole pig should be fixed with a long and thick string drill and then grilled on a charcoal fire. The string drill will pass through the pig's mouth and be fixed as the core. At this moment, the pig's mouth can't be closed, so it can only be opened. After roasting, the mouth of the roast pig can't be closed.
Customers can see the pig's esophagus through the pig's mouth for the first time, which is very harmful to their appetite. So in order to solve this problem, chefs need to think about how to block the pig's mouth. Need to meet this condition, not simple ingredients can do it. First, the ingredients used to block the pig's mouth must be just the right size. Second, the food should not give off a strong fragrance, which conflicts with the roast pig. Third, food must be common in the kitchen, so that the chef can get it easily.
All three conditions need to be considered, and Apple is a good choice. On the one hand, Apple's product design can just fit into the pig's mouth, which won't make people feel stiff. On the other hand, in the kitchens of western chefs, apples are a very common ingredient, and chefs often grind apples or juice to taste. When chefs choose apples as the food to block the pig's mouth, they find that the flavor of apple products can also be perfectly combined with roast pork and become more and more delicious.
In the long run, it will be a tradition to eat apples outside the Bari competition. Now, let's look at the roast pig in the west. We can often see pigs biting apples. It is used for decoration. Don't eat apples, after all, this apple company has no taste in the baking process.
