There are Chinese food in the East and French food in the West. Except French, no country in the world has made such great efforts on food as China. The launch of the French Culture Year in China aroused the interest of China people in France. What exactly is French food like? Although China and France are separated from Wan Li, they are both good at food. What are the similarities or differences between China and French diets? I like to eat the original "China people eat too much oil" published in Global Times Life Weekly. As soon as Lei Ming saw it, he said, "Yes, you are absolutely right." He has been in China for three years and likes Chinese food very much, but "Chinese food is too greasy." He smiled and said, "I have Chinese food with my French friends. When we encounter dishes that are too oily, we will take napkins to absorb oil before eating. " Like Chinese food, French food also pays attention to "color and fragrance". Mr. Lei Ming said that French food is also exquisite and beautiful, and the chef's carving is no less than China's. French food is also very attractive, but it pays more attention to preserving the original flavor of food. Meat smells like meat, fish smells like fish, and vegetables taste like vegetables. There is no need to put too much seasoning for fear of covering up the original flavor of food. French food is generally light, except that southerners in France like to eat spicy food, which is a bit heavy. "We don't put too much salt when cooking. Salt is placed on the table, and everyone puts it according to his own taste. " French people don't eat monosodium glutamate, which is a chemical product and is forbidden to be sold in France. Lei Ming said: "You must not put monosodium glutamate in Chinese food." The low cooking temperature in China is closely related to its unique cooking methods. China pays attention to cooking and frying, but how do the French cook? Lei Ming said that the oven is the most commonly used cooker in French kitchens, and many foods are baked. The common cooking methods of French cuisine are frying, boiling and steaming. Mr. Lei Ming said that when people in China cook, the oil temperature is high and the oil smoke is big. Just fry it for a few times. France also makes vegetables, but the oil temperature is low, the cooking time is longer, and the nutritional loss of low-temperature cooking is less. French people use vegetable cooking oil such as sunflower seed oil. Now everyone knows that olive oil is good for health, so olive oil is used more and more. The French also often cook with butter. Butter is extracted from milk, which has low calorie and high nutritional value. They melt butter into soup and fry meat, and the dishes they make are delicious. Pay attention to diet balance "French people attach great importance to health", Mr. Lei Ming said, "French cuisine pays great attention to nutrition balance and diet collocation. In France, you can often see posters posted in restaurants and some public places to remind people to eat reasonably and recommend nutritious recipes. For example, the diet pyramid, we have known since childhood. " According to Lei Ming, the French eat a small number and many kinds, including meat and vegetables. The main course is mostly chicken, duck, fish and seafood. "You can try to eat meat, but you must match vegetables, such as spinach, lentils, cauliflower and tomatoes." The French eat very delicately. A typical French breakfast is croissants with a small cup of espresso, and lunch may be snacks or sandwiches. Their dinner is very rich, but the quality is not quantity, but few but fine. For example, there must be cheese, eggs or fish and chicken in the vegetable salad; Crude fiber bread, wine and cheese are all very nutritious foods. "So, there are not many fat people in France. In Europe, the French are the most symmetrical. " The lanky Lei Ming said proudly. Mr. Lei Ming said that hamburger fast food from the United States can't be promoted in China. He said that for fast food, eating slow food in Europe now means enjoying exquisite food, not rushing to eat, but being quiet and peaceful and paying attention to balanced nutrition.
