The description of food in writing highlights the author's or hero's research on food. On the one hand, it can be seen that the author or hero has a thorough study of food, and that he is a meticulous person and observes carefully. On the other hand, spending a lot of time describing it must have its purpose, which may not be obvious at the time, but reading the whole article is to serve the main body. For example, when writing a history of the rise and fall of a family, there will be many detailed recipes or banquets, so there will be a contrast between the rise and fall. Although the author will not say the difference between the two, readers will certainly appreciate the difference brought about by this change.
Therefore, a long description is bound to have its usefulness, and it is necessary to read the whole article before studying it.
