Because the so-called "food" in Europe in ancient times was too unpalatable. During the Song Dynasty, our country was already very rich in materials and evolved many delicious foods that even beggars could eat. It's relatively good. China's food culture has a long history. It has developed from eating raw flesh and blood to the present day, and has invented many delicacies, but Europe is different.

In ancient times, the staple food in Europe was something called black bread. Although it occupies the name of bread, it is not as soft and soft as bread, but very hard. Not only is it hard, it also has a sour taste. Even white bread, which is reserved for the upper class in Europe, is actually very hard to swallow. And because white bread is so expensive to make, even kings may not be able to eat it often. Europeans at that time also loved a hodgepodge of various foods stewed together. In our opinion, that kind of thing not only looked ugly, but also tasted unpalatable.

Looking back at China during the Song Dynasty, due to the prosperity and openness of the Tang Dynasty and the market transactions of the Song Dynasty, many species were introduced to China during that period. Can you believe that ice cream has already appeared in the Song Dynasty? Moreover, during the Song Dynasty, there were shops selling sweet water in the streets and alleys at very low prices, and they also sold various fresh fruits.

And who said beggars must not eat well? In ancient my country, there were gangs of beggars, the Beggar Gang. Moreover, there is also a famous dish in our country called "Beggar's Chicken", which was invented by beggars. Because of the rich products and the talent for cooking that may be flowing in the blood of the Chinese, some people say that even beggars would not be willing to eat the top delicacies of ancient Europe if they were placed in China during the Song Dynasty. .
