are the three elements of food full of color, flavor and taste? This is not entirely true. Color, fragrance and taste are aimed at the food itself. I think the three elements of good food should include good food, good collocation, good tableware and good environment. However, on the road of finding delicious food, it is often difficult to have both. So, if you can only choose one thing, there will only be good food.
China cuisine is in China, and China cuisine is also in the world. Before the Zhou Dynasty, people mainly lived and survived. Although there were pottery bronze tripod, it seems that these containers are very rough now. Food, that is, cook the meat, Dading cook the meat, or Meat Forest Wine Pool, is no different from a local tyrant.
After the week, China entered the etiquette society, and the class was divided, and the food and clothing were respected. Coupled with the improvement of tableware and cookware technology and the promotion of aquaculture and planting, the types of food sources have also increased a lot compared with before. At this time, eating is no longer a meal, and you can enjoy your status. The upper class dominates everything, and the eight treasures rice in the palace creates the eight treasures rice that continues to this day.
Liu An, the king of Huainan, is not brilliant in his career, but everyone in China will be grateful to him for inventing tofu. The national strength of the Han Dynasty was strong, the country was unified, and the emperor was more particular about food and clothing. The emperor of the Han dynasty even had a set of full-time catering leadership. Coupled with full confidence in national strength, the Han Dynasty maintained close contacts with foreign countries. Through the Silk Road and the Western Regions, many exotic foods were added to the Chinese menu, such as grapes, spinach, eggplant and pumpkin, which were cooked naturally as soon as they came in. The variety of barbecue banquet has been divided into rice, porridge and snacks, and milk and ghee are listed.
the Tang dynasty is the world's Tang dynasty. Cultural blending reached its peak, food flavor, clothing and dressing have followed the trend, and even Hu Ji was accompanied when eating. At this point, mutton still plays the leading role at the dinner table, and it is a kind of enjoyment to have a bowl of mutton soup on the streets of the Tang Dynasty.
The rise of blue-and-white porcelain and Jingdezhen is the progress of food culture and pushes the food to a new height. Tableware has diversity and higher aesthetic requirements.
along the silk road and by sea, foreign food continued to enter China. Pepper, which people love and hate in China, is always used as an ornamental flower when it first enters China. Just like tomatoes were treated as poisonous fruits when they first entered Europe. Once discovered, it quickly charmed everyone.
People who live now have a better taste for food. Chinese food has already developed into eight major food series, even bigger than the eight major foods. People pay attention to factors such as tableware and environmental emotions while paying attention to ingredients.
Cooks have never been valued in China, and they were often called cooks in ancient times. Only Yuan Mei in the Qing Dynasty had a unique eye, honoring a good cook as a teacher, and even used a sedan chair to pick up the chef.
Chefs have a high status in France. This is related to the history of French cuisine. Louis XVI, who lived for more than 7 years, pushed the French diet to the peak, with luxurious materials, exquisite tableware and exquisite dining. If a cook is demoted for his cooking skills, he will be humiliated and even commit suicide.
But who would have thought that France before the 15th century was in such a mess in diet that it even cut meat with a knife? Until an old Italian father who loves his daughter appeared, Catherine, the daughter who was married to France, was very particular about food, so the old father married pots and pans and had the best chef. The court pays attention to food, so the French people from top to bottom began to pay attention to food. It was not until Louis XVI, who was powerful in national strength, the emperor who was very particular about mountains and rivers, architecture and cuisine, promoted the status of French cuisine and chef most directly and powerfully.
With the increasing convenience of transportation in the global village, international cuisines are gradually becoming international. China cuisine and French cuisine have become the undisputed food pioneers. It should be the wish of every food lover to save more money, see more in the world, taste more delicious food and feel more regional culture.
