With the continuous progress of productive forces in modern society, more and more kinds of food appear on human dining tables. Even the varieties of seasonings are becoming more and more abundant. Even a simple dish can be a delicious dish with all kinds of seasonings. So I think the biggest difference between ancient diet and modern diet is that there are fewer kinds of food that can be eaten in ancient times, which is not as perfect as modern society. The reason is because of the backward social production in ancient times. First, what to eat when crossing to Qin

I remember seeing a short story about history on the Internet, telling a modern foodie crossing to Qin. Holding the idea of a full meal, I walked into the inn of Qin. As soon as I came up, I ordered a bowl of tomato and egg noodles. As a result, the bartender said that noodles didn't appear until the Song Dynasty, and tomatoes, a specialty of America, had not yet spread to Qin. So the eater patted and ordered a white steamed bread, and the shop assistant said that steamed bread would not appear until Shu and Han Dynasties. The angry foodie ordered another beef, and as a result, the shop assistant was on the verge of an enemy, covering his face with his hand and saying that he would go to jail for eating beef. So the eater slammed the door in a hurry. Although the story is funny, it also reflects that there were very few things to eat during the Qin Dynasty. Second, the convenience of modern society

With the enhancement of trade exchanges around the world and the emergence of convenient means of transportation. Let people buy what they want quickly. Moreover, the development of various technologies has also given birth to different flavors of spices. So compared with ancient times, there is nothing to eat, and there are too many things to eat in modern society. Moreover, delicious food from all over the world can be enjoyed, which is the convenience brought by technology. However, in terms of taste, ancient people paid more attention to the original taste of food, and there was no lack of it because of the high price of salt. Nowadays, the taste of food in society is more like an accurate calculation. Third, the progress of social productive forces

The reason for the great gap between ancient diet and modern diet is the progress of social production. Ancient people were backward in social production and didn't have a comprehensive understanding of the world, so their food was just to fill their stomachs. Food in modern society is not only protective, but also has aesthetic value.
