The number and variety of restaurants in China are probably the best in the world. I don't know when it started, and overnight, restaurants of all sizes appeared in the streets and alleys of the city like they emerged from the ground. What XX Seafood City, XX Fishing Village, XX Snake Pavilion, XX Hotel, XX Palace, XX Pavilion, all lined up in front of the door wearing bright "ladies" and greeted the diners with a smile. Well-dressed diners come in and out, bustling and lively. All kinds of raw seafood are dazzling, bared their teeth in the glass window. There are many kinds of recipes, including Sichuan cuisine, Guangdong cuisine, Beijing cuisine, Northeast cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, Suzhou and Hangzhou cuisine, Taiwanese cuisine, Japanese cuisine, Korean cuisine, Italian western food, French western food and German western food. Faced with so many delicious foods, a person may not finish all the delicious foods in his life. To answer the question of what is the best, we must limit one condition, that is, discuss what is the best and the price is as low as possible, otherwise I want to try both peacock tongue and bear's paw. There have been such competitions in the world. After the contestants were hungry for a few days, the young lady walked in front of the contestants with plates of delicious food to see who could last. At this time, no one will care about the taste of food, as long as they can fill their stomachs. In this case, as long as it is delicious, it is delicious. Therefore, whether it is delicious or not, it should be felt by people under normal circumstances, otherwise it will become a desire for food. Human food includes solid food and water. Water has no taste and can't be said to be delicious, but it is definitely more important than solid food. It seems that there has never been a competition in the world to see who is thirsty, so there is a premise to discuss what is best: what is best if you are not thirsty. Compared with other mammals or birds, people eat very little. A meal is only half a kilogram of food, which is much smaller than human weight, but the requirements for color, fragrance and taste are higher than those of all other animals. Birds can eat food equivalent to their own weight a day, while elephants can eat white kilograms of bananas and sugar cane a day. I think it's difficult for animals to pay attention to taste like humans when they are foraging, just eat enough. At most, if you can choose, choose some foods you like. Cats love to eat fish, but they don't necessarily eat fish every day. When food is not abundant, black bears eat wild fruits and tubers of plants. Polar bears love walrus, but if they get a lot, they only eat walrus fat, which is the most nutritious part. Maybe polar bears think fat meat is more delicious than meat, just as people think meat is more delicious than grass. Whether the food is delicious or not depends not only on the food itself, but also on the mood and environment of the diners themselves. The basic function of food eaten by people is of course to supplement energy, and children can also promote the growth and development of the body. In principle, as long as food can meet people's nutritional needs, goo-goo meat is a good food, such as aerospace food and military food, which meets such requirements, with small size and high nutritional value. People usually like to eat food with good color and smell, but animals are much worse. They can't process it, they can only eat it raw. The lion jumped on the zebra and swallowed it in one gulp. Cats eat fish without monosodium glutamate or salt. Their intestines and stomach can adapt to their food, and food can also meet their nutritional needs. In ancient times, it was much more difficult for people to have enough to eat. At that time, there was no shortage of water, no pollution, only food. Thanks to the ape-man who learned to cooperate with many people and fight against big and fierce animals, he could eat more nutritious meat. According to the analysis of unearthed fossils, most of the animals captured by apes are young animals, including elephants and mammoths. If dinosaurs were not extinct 60 million years ago, there may be small dinosaurs. Older animals can't tell who will eat who. Hundreds of thousands of years later, no matter how big an animal is, it is no match for human beings, so now it is a world where people eat animals. It is natural for people to eat people, but it is a tragedy for animals to eat people. Animals have become people's food, which is a great victory for human beings to survive and compete in nature. Apes use fire to improve the taste of food, making it easier to digest and more hygienic, and the human brain is more developed, so that human beings can constantly defeat their strong enemies in self-evolution and eventually become the masters of the earth. It can be seen that food has played an absolute role in human evolution. From this perspective, meat is better than grass, and cooked meat is better than raw meat. Primitive people gradually evolved into modern people. Hundreds of thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye. In the past, the scene of apes wearing animal skins and rounding up wild animals with bows and stones disappeared. On the contrary, men in evening dresses and women in long skirts pretend to sit in brightly lit restaurants and taste steaks and prawns gracefully with knives and forks. Its essence is no different from that of an ape-man roasting animal meat around a fire. We in China think the food in restaurants is more exquisite. Sometimes guests come to our house and we invite them to a better restaurant. Is the food in the restaurant delicious? Big fish and big meat, everyone is always in need at home. Seafood, in fact, is not much except a piece of skin. Businessmen and government officials invite customers or superiors or business partners to restaurants for dinner, which may not necessarily taste good, but may often lead to corruption. Comparatively speaking, I prefer local snacks with personality, and the food in the restaurant is the same all year round. This time, it tastes the same as last time. I ate it several times and it tasted like chewing wax. Stir-fried Xiaoyi Wen cabbage in winter at home, served hot, is very appetizing. In dog days, accompany Mei Mei to the cold drink shop to buy two ice creams, and eat them while walking, which is always sweet to the heart. Diet is not only a basic physiological need, but also has risen to the cultural level in China. Ancient literati not only had extensive interests in literature and art, but also set foot in the field of cooking art intentionally or unintentionally. In addition, the traditional scholar-bureaucrat interest and self-indulgent lifestyle of China literati also make some literati regard cooking as a kind of entertainment and a positive rest. The Song Dynasty was an era in which the number of scholar-officials surged and their consciousness changed. They pay attention to the harmony of their inner world, so they tend to pay attention to the details of life to express their political attitudes and life ideals. Diet has become their hot topic. For example, the gluttonous man is a worthless son who is looked down upon by people, but Su Shi regards himself as such, and declares in The Gourmet Fu: "The beauty of polymers is to support my gourmets." "Gourmet" has become synonymous with literati who pursue food without losing elegance. Huang Tingjian, who is as famous as Su Shi, wrote Five Theories on the Dietary Time of Scholar-officials, which systematized the scholar-officials' understanding of diet life. Today, great changes have taken place in food culture. Let's give an example. In the past, it was stipulated in the red-headed document that four dishes and one soup were required for the government to entertain guests. As a result, the restaurant used a full staff policy, with four dishes and four extra-large plates, and each plate was divided into four areas to put four dishes, which not only violated the regulations of four dishes and one soup, but also allowed guests to eat well. This is also an invention of China people, which enriches the connotation of China's food culture. China people are never tired of eating exquisite food and cooking. In its heyday, there was such a luxurious feast as the Manchu-Han banquet, which not only made foreigners salivate, but even China people rarely had a chance to have a full meal. But sometimes China's traditional foods are processed too much, which makes foreigners impatient, such as jiaozi, which is popular in China. Will foreign food make people feel refreshed? Not necessarily. First of all, I don't appreciate the western way of eating. Butter on vegetables, steak with blood, ham on bread, and ice in soup. Reminiscent of the generation that ate meat and blood hundreds of thousands of years ago. However, Westerners demand not only delicious food, but also nutrition, reducing cholesterol intake and paying attention to environmental protection, which is worth learning from us in China. There is also a famous joke about eating. Foreign tourists go to local restaurants to eat, but they don't understand the menu, but they don't want to admit it. So they ordered the first dish on the menu. As a result, the waiter said, "This can't be eaten. This is the name of our manager. " I know from this joke that the manager can't eat it, and it's not delicious. Of course, there are special exceptions. In an air crash in South America in the 1970s, the survivors survived by eating the dead, which sounds a little creepy. This event has been adapted into a movie several times. However, the current manager is nothing. If the passenger who was eaten happened to be the manager, the joke wouldn't stand. I saw a Hong Kong movie "Happy Ever After", which was very interesting. It is made of all kinds of delicious raw materials, including bird's nest, honey and bear's paw. It makes people drool, but the cost is too high and it violates the animal protection law. It is said that eating monkey brain alive is the best. Although monkeys are not protecting animals, it is cruel to eat like this, so they are the ancient gentlemen of China. Some overseas Chinese returned to the mainland decades later and found that the snacks of that year had lost their original flavor. One is that the craft is lost or out of shape, and the other is to cut corners. Third, the raw materials are mass-produced and tasteless. Therefore, if you can't eat something delicious, you can't list it to arouse people's appetite. Eating was once a big problem in China. Americans once predicted that China could not support such a huge population, but the United States never correctly predicted China, and this time is no exception. China people can not only eat enough, but also eat well. Look at the food on the supermarket shelves now. I can't name many of them. They have colorful packaging, not only in Chinese, but also in foreign languages. With the situation of economic globalization becoming more and more obvious, foreign foods are pouring into China, and the contents of these foreign foods are absolutely varied. Last year's 5.8 incident, the whole country set off an anti-American wave, and fast food restaurants such as McDonald's and KFC had a hard time. Since then, every time I go in, I have to go through a fierce and complicated ideological struggle, but I can't eat anything delicious. It's really painful. I had the desire and determination to resist the invasion of American imperialist culture, but I couldn't resist the temptation of Hamburg until I saw a netizen's post. Netizen (the famous Chen Bihong) said: During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the food of the American devils captured by the Volunteers was also delicious. I think, yes, that's the truth! From then on, I went in and out of McDonald's fast food restaurant with confidence. The delicious food is actually at home Cooking is a craft, and a virtuous wife must have good cooking skills in order to add a warm feeling to her home and form a warm home. There is a saying in the west that "simplicity is the best". It is also a pleasure to fry a few side dishes at home on weekends. Parents make a bowl of soft and delicious mutton pilaf for their children, and it is also a pleasure to watch them eat. Isn't it delicious to buy a soft baked red series in winter, peel off the skin and give off an attractive fragrance? Sadly, people in China regard eating as their main activity. When friends meet, when they get married, and when they get divorced, they eat them. You have to eat when you are born and eat when you are dead. If they can't finish it, throw it away. No matter how delicious things are, they will become less delicious. The taste of food depends on your own feelings, and people's feelings are very complicated and subtle. Not only things themselves, but also emotions, thoughts, cultures, traditions, habits, regions, environments and even sounds will affect people's feelings. Only when all conditions are in the best state, the food eaten at this time is the best.
