Su Shi, a gourmet in the Song Dynasty, never tasted potatoes.

Su Shi once tasted Dongpo elbow, Dongpo tofu, Dongpo yusan, Dongpo leg, Dongpo bud, Dongpo mochi, Dongpo cake, Dongpo crisp, Dongpo bean curd, Dongpo meat and so on.

Tofu is white as jade, soft and delicate, refreshing and palatable. It is the main raw material of vegetarian dishes in China and has always been welcomed by people. Su Dongpo once wrote the poem "Boiled beans are creamy and crisp" for tofu, visualized the making of tofu in refined language, and accurately stated that tofu is the essence of food.

Su Shi's love for food is not entirely due to poverty, as people say, but stems from his love for food. It's just that the delicious food studied by Su Shi in this period uses the current words: often high-grade ingredients only need simple cooking. At this time, Su Shi did not think about the sufferings of the people, but only studied food for the sake of food.

Such a "luxurious" life enabled Su Shi to follow his inclinations when he was in prosperity, but it also laid the foundation for his poverty when he was down and out.
