Westerners like to add sugar to their cooking, especially desserts. The amount of sugar is often similar to that of flour, which makes you tremble with fear. Why do all the polysaccharides enter your stomach? They make desserts beautifully, and when they eat them, they can smell them gently with their noses, giving people a feeling of being long, well, sweet and intoxicated, which is called "a paradise". Not only food, but also sweetened drinks, sweetened coffee and sweetened tea. Therefore, westerners think you are cute, so they always call you Britney Spears and Honey. They not only like sweets, but also can eat sweets. I have a sweet mouth, too, and I can speak sweet words.

In fact, western food is much more delicious than Chinese food, including the dessert just mentioned. Flour, sugar, butter and other ingredients are clearly marked with a few grams, spoonfuls, cups, and even when eggs are used, even the size of the eggs will be explained. There are also clear standards for the size of spoons. The smaller spoon is a teaspoon, and the larger spoon is a dinner spoon. The temperature and time of baking also clearly stipulate how many degrees and minutes. As long as you buy a measuring cup and spoon, you can engage in cooking. And it's not easy to cook Chinese food overnight. Even if you buy a recipe and follow it, it's not that easy. The menu won't tell you how much salt it is and how big a fire is. These all need time and feeling to ponder and experience. Chinese food seems to hide a mystery that can only be understood but not expressed, just like people in China.

▲ Chinese food is salted, why is it just a little? Because everyone has different tastes, there is a saying that "sweet in the south and salty in the north, spicy in the east and sour in the west". If it is mandatory to add a few grams of salt to the menu, maybe Shanghai people will feel salty and Hebei people will feel weak. You can add or subtract according to your own taste. Chinese food recipes give chefs a lot of authorization, but when the dishes are served, people who eat them have no choice. You must realize the salty taste. Even if it is light, you are embarrassed to add salt. Unless you are in your own home, you are not satisfied with your host's food. The western menu will clearly tell you to add a few grams of salt according to the amount of food and meat, so the western kitchen also has scales, measuring cups, measuring spoons and scales. Like a lab? These seemingly ridiculous things are very operational for people who cook. Even if your taste is heavy, there should be small salt bottles and pepper bottles on the table anyway. You can add it yourself. If you regard the person who cooks and the person who eats as a pair of subjects with corresponding rights and obligations, then in Chinese food and western food, their rights and obligations are different. In Chinese food, the cook has the right to add this main ingredient and seasoning or that main ingredient and seasoning, and how much. People who eat only have the freedom to eat or not and how much to eat. Hot pot is an exception, diners can choose, perhaps because hot pot is imported. In western food, many dishes are not cooked by the so-called chef at all. They just cut all kinds of vegetables and put them on a plate, put a bunch of carrots, some celery and some cucumbers, and then pour the seasoning into a small plate and serve it. Diners like how to arrange and combine their own dishes, whether to add seasoning or not, and how much to add is their own business.

▲ People generally like to look at the place of origin when they buy things. Italian shoes and clothes are very popular. Discuss Chinese food and western food. Let's see where they come from. Chinese food is produced in Chinese kitchens, while western food is produced in western kitchens. Generally speaking, western-style kitchens are open. Vegetables are either cold or cooked. The meat and pasta are marinated and sent to the oven. Occasionally fried food, but also a special fryer, western-style kitchen is a battlefield without smoke. Some western-style kitchens, sofas, tables, televisions, computers and even cabinets display exquisite porcelain, while others are luxurious, with fireplaces. The sofa is for people who cook with you, so you can chat slowly. Family members can have a simple breakfast at the dining table, and children can also do homework or play games at the dining table. The host can watch TV or even surf the internet while cooking, and look up a menu or something; The exquisite porcelain in the cupboard not only raises the eyes of the owner, but also raises the eyes of the guests; With the fireplace, it seems that you can stay in the kitchen forever. Chinese kitchen, stir-fried, filled with smoke, like a battlefield. People rushed into the kitchen in a hurry, just to get the meal ready. Who likes to stay in the lampblack if there is no need to cook? In short, the cooking methods of Chinese food and western food are different, which determines the different functions of Chinese and western kitchens. The function of Chinese kitchen is only kitchen, perhaps more like kitchen; But the function of western-style kitchen is not only the kitchen, but also some functions of living room, game room, family room and even office, which is the real center of the family.

▲ It seems that the production of western food is relatively peaceful. No frying, no chicken, duck and fish being slaughtered. Even if there is blood, it's not under your nose. You only buy fish pieces that can't tell the species apart, and even crabs may be cooked. All you can do is put them in the oven or fryer and don't move. Chinese food seems much more violent. Chicken, duck and fish are slaughtered and cut in the sword, and hot food is served after frying. Everyone just wants to taste delicious food. But after finishing, when eating, the tableware used in western food is tools such as knives and forks, and the tableware used in Chinese food is simply two small bamboo sticks-chopsticks. Is the tableware in western food more violent than that in Chinese food?

▲ Chinese food and western food are actually very particular about the atmosphere of eating, but the props that pay attention to the atmosphere are different.

▲ Western food pays attention to creating an atmosphere with scenery and utensils. Good restaurants are generally chosen at the top of beautiful hilltops, parks or the revolving top of high-rise buildings in the city center, so there is a saying of "eating scenery". Ladies and gentlemen dressed in beautiful clothes walked gracefully into the restaurant. A well-dressed waiter will show you to your seat. The cups on the table may be different from red wine glasses, cocktail glasses, tea cups, coffee cups and juice cups. Knife and fork are also different from cutting fish, meat, butter and bread. All kinds of exquisite tableware hold food from pre-dinner snacks to soup to main course to dessert, and they are not sloppy at all. People eat and turn corners by candlelight.

▲ The atmosphere of Chinese food is mobilized by taste and participation. A good restaurant for Chinese food is "good wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley". Maybe the tableware is not so exquisite, maybe the hall is not so imposing, but that's not what people rely on. Man conquers the world with taste. If they want to conquer your heart, they must conquer your stomach first. Jiaozi in Chinese food is one of the most participatory foods. Jiaozi's New Year's package is rolled up, wrapped and said, as if all the love and care were wrapped in it. This year is like a year.

▲ When eating Chinese food, everyone sits around the table and puts the dishes on the same plate. The warm host will help you put the dishes into the bowl. It's so sweet. After dinner together, friendship is different. When eating western food, everyone has a plate, even when ordering food in a restaurant, it is different. I ate a meal together, but I didn't seem to eat it. I couldn't even communicate the taste of the food. Because it is possible that you eat steak and he eats prawns, it is difficult to feel intimate when eating western food.

▲ People in China praise others for their good cooking. Generally, they will say that your cooking is great, and you are almost up to the level of restaurants, while westerners boast that their food is very good, but they say it is just like cooking at home.

▲ Actually, there are many similarities between Chinese food and western food, especially Italian food and Chinese food. Some people say that Italy is interested in pasta and pizza because Kyle Poirot brought pies and noodles to Italy. No matter how credible this statement is, spaghetti and noodles are quite close relatives, except that spaghetti is mixed with eggs, noodles are mixed with water, and spaghetti looks like wonton. The difference between pie and pizza is that one stuffing is inside and the other stuffing is outside.

Chinese food and western food are not related. It is entirely possible that you have me and I have you. We can transform Chinese food and influence western food. Making pies with burritos is convenient and delicious. I mixed preserved eggs with avocado a while ago, and the taste was very unique.

If you don't understand the problem, ask more, practice more and compare more, and you will always get a satisfactory solution. I hope my answer can help you. It's not easy to hit by hand. I hope it can be adopted. Thank you! !
