Because the so-called "delicacies" in ancient Europe were really unpalatable, but in the Song Dynasty, China was already rich in materials, and many delicacies evolved, even beggars ate better. China's food culture has a long history. From raw food to flesh and blood, many delicious foods have been invented, but Europe is different.

In ancient times, the staple food in Europe was something called black bread. Although it occupies the title of bread, it is not as soft as bread, but very hard. Not only is it hard, but it smells sour. Even the white bread of the upper class in Europe is actually hard to swallow. And because white bread is expensive, even kings don't always eat it. At that time, Europeans also loved to eat a hodgepodge of all kinds of food stewed together. In our opinion, that kind of thing not only looks ugly, but also tastes bad.

On the other hand, China in the Song Dynasty, because of the prosperity and opening up of the Tang Dynasty and the market transactions in the Song Dynasty itself, many species were introduced into China at that time. Can you believe that ice cream appeared in the Song Dynasty? Moreover, in the Song Dynasty, there were shops selling sweet water in the streets and alleys, and the price was very low, and all kinds of fresh fruits were sold.

Besides, who says beggars can't eat well? There was a beggar gang in ancient China. And there is a famous dish in China called "beggar chicken", which was invented by beggars. Because of the rich products and China people's cooking talent, some people say that even beggars would not be willing to eat the top food in ancient Europe if it was placed in the Song Dynasty in China.
