At that time, the main source of protein for Japanese was fish (the rich eat rice), so there was a historical reason why Japan ate more marine fish than other countries. The modern version of Daiwa Cooking imitates the supply of canned food in Japan's second largest military during World War II, similar to that in our northeast? Chaos stew? In addition to pork, root vegetables, such as radish, potato and burdock, are added ... and miso and pyrogallol, which are unique to Japan, are added.
After the Meiji Restoration, Japan implemented it? De-Asian plus Europe? National policy. This country originated from the upper class. The political system and living habits are fully westernized (Meiji himself took the lead in eating meat), and canned food followed? West wind? Entering Japan, even commercial sales ... World War II Japan? Canned beef? Under the influence of World War II, many countries in the world experienced the problem of food shortage. In order to solve these problems, many countries choose to reduce military grain and replace it with more easily available raw materials. Japan has taken a similar approach to their canned beef.
Before World War II, the Japanese army would give their soldiers delicious canned beef. As the name implies, canned beef contains a lot of beef, most of which is canned beef. The canned beef of the Japanese army is English stewed beef. In fact, it is a supplement to beef, and stewed beef and potatoes, onions, cabbage and other vegetables are the main raw materials. These are two completely different concepts. The canned beef of the US military is mainly beef. The canned beef of the Japanese army is better known as beef soup. Later, with the outbreak of war and the shortage of resources, the Japanese had to make some changes to canned beef. At the beginning of the reform, they only adjusted the proportion of beef in canned beef. They put less beef and more vegetables and grains.
All in all, it's good. But in the end, they ignored it. Why do soldiers say that food tastes worse than pig food? Because delicious canned beef appeared very early, after the Anti-Japanese War, canned beef in Japan was no longer made of beef. At the beginning of Japan's invasion of China, Japan experienced the Meiji Restoration, completely got rid of the fate of the colony and made its own country strong, so it did a very good job in logistics.
Besides, all over Japan are doing this? Heroes who fought for their country? Provide food, so in the early days of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, canned beef in Japan was made of pure beef, with all kinds of vegetables, made by stew, which was a real Japanese food. But later, the Japanese army has been calling for the destruction of China for three months and plunged into the people's war. Before the war in China ended, the insatiable Japanese invaded other countries, starting with the United States in the Pacific Ocean. A large number of Japanese first divisions were drawn out to fight with the US Marine Corps, with heavy casualties.
The Japanese army was not strong enough and began to expand wildly, so that the limited savings of the Meiji Restoration were exhausted and the Japanese treasury was pulled to the limit. As a result, the logistics was not very good, and the canned beef used by the Japanese began to be cut into minced beef from large pieces. Nevertheless, the Japanese army ate much better than the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. Later, canned beef almost disappeared. On the contrary, beef offal and blood became the main raw materials, and some coarse grains and vegetables were added. The so-called canned beef became a can of beef blood with coarse grains and vegetables. It is said that it tastes fishy and is no different from pig food, so it was criticized by the Japanese military as pig food, even worse than pig food.
