Compared with the "taste" diet in China, foreign countries are a rational concept of diet. Regardless of the color, fragrance, taste and shape of food, nutrition must be guaranteed, and how many calories, vitamins and protein should be taken in a day. Even if it tastes the same, you must eat it-it is nutritious. At the banquet, you can pay attention to the collocation of tableware, materials, services and raw materials in shape and color. But no matter how luxurious and upscale steak is from L.A. to new york, it has only one flavor, and there is no art at all. As a dish, chicken is chicken and steak is steak. Even if there is a match, it is done in the disk. A plate of "French lamb chops" with mashed potatoes, leaning against the lamb chops, and boiled green beans and some tomatoes on the other side. The colors are in sharp contrast, but the raw materials are irrelevant, the taste is harmonious, each has its own flavor, and it is simple and clear.

China people attach great importance to "eating", and the proverb "Food is the sky for the people" shows that eating is as important as the sky. Because this nation has been at a low productivity level for thousands of years, people are always hungry, so there is a unique food culture that puts food above everything else, which is probably due to the need of survival. If a culture takes eating as the first thing, then there will be two phenomena: on the one hand, it will exert its function to the extreme, not only to maintain survival, but also to maintain health, which is the cultural basis of "medicine tonic is not as good as food tonic"; On the other hand, paying too much attention to food will make people admire the pursuit of delicious food. China people's pursuit of food is an indescribable "artistic conception", that is, using what people usually call "color, fragrance, taste, shape and utensils" to concretize this "realm", which is still difficult to cover.
