Su Shi likes mutton soup, so he wrote: "Qin only cooks mutton soup, and there is bear wax in the dragon."
He also wrote "Ode to Pork": "Without water, firewood can't smoke. Don't rush him when he is ripe, he will be beautiful when the heat is enough. Huangzhou good pork, the price is as cheap as dirt. The rich refuse to eat, and the poor don't know how to cook. I got up in the morning and played two bowls, so I was too full to care. "
Su Dongpo cooks pork with his favorite bamboo shoots. At a gourmet party, Su Dongpo personally wrote a jingle: "No bamboo makes people vulgar, no meat makes people thin, good but not thin, bamboo shoots stew meat".
Delicious but poisonous puffer fish has also become a new delicacy he often eats. "Peach blossoms outside the bamboo are three or two, and the spring river warms the duck prophet. Artemisia sphaerocephala has short reed buds all over the ground, which is the time for puffer fish to go up. " This carefree seven-character quatrain is about bamboo shoots, fat ducks, wild vegetables and puffer fish in spring. It's really delicious.
"Qiu Lai frost dew garden east, reed mustard gave birth to children and grandchildren. I am as full as he hates, and I don't know why I want to eat chicken and dolphins. " In his opinion, these vegetables are more delicious than chicken, duck and fish. Hufeng Lake is Su Dongpo's favorite place for picnicking. He compared the rattan vegetables grown by the lake here to the water shield of the West Lake in Hangzhou: "There are rattan vegetables in Hufeng Lake, which seems to be comparable to soup."
Su Dongpo ate the rice cake made by an old woman and couldn't help but write a poem: "Jade hands are rubbed evenly, blue oil is light yellow." Sleeping at night knows the weight in spring, and the beauty is wrapped in arms. "In just 28 words, it outlines the characteristics of uniform, bright and crisp rice cakes and the image that looks like a beautiful year circle.
"A cupcake is like chewing the moon. It's crispy inside."
"It is better to ask for weeds around the wheat field than to cook yam soup for the monk's family."
"The Yangtze River everywhere knows the beauty of fish, and the bamboo is good and the mountain is fragrant."
"Ask Qingtian wine when there is a bright moon", "If you don't drink enough, the taste will be particularly long when you are half drunk", "Occasionally taste wine and often hold an empty glass".
"300 lychees a day, you might as well grow into a Lingnan person."
Su Shi loves tea and often praises it in his poems. "Baiyun Peak has two new flags, green and fresh, and the valley is rainy and spring comes" describes the scenery of tea gardens in the mountains and plains outside Hangzhou. "Never Beautiful Tea Like Beauty" and another poem "Want to compare the West Lake with the West Lake" were compiled into the famous teahouse tea club association.
There are many food-related masterpieces in Su Dongpo's poems, such as Vegetable Soup Poetry, Eating Pork Poetry, Bean Meat, A Whale Journey and the famous Gourmet Fu.
