Let’s break it down into a few points – the diet of the Han Dynasty was mainly pasta and grains, and the non-staple food was definitely not as abundant as today’s, but we also know that people could already eat bear paws during the Mencius period... bear paws are no better than ordinary ones.

Meat needs to be carefully stewed before it can be eaten. According to the recipe circulated on the Internet, bear paws should be sealed for two years and then slowly stewed with honey for a day to make them soft and fragrant.

The cooking method of the bear's paw is more troublesome when adjusting the tripod... Jin Linggong is not a king, so he uses it thickly to carve the wall; he bounces people from the stage and watches their pills; the butcher kills the bear because he is not familiar with it, so he kills it.

Place the bamboo baskets for the women to carry on their way to the court.

This passage in "Zuo Zhuan" shows that it is a very historical thing for kings to eat bear paws. It is even mentioned in the Taiping Yulan that the kings of the Shang Dynasty began to eat bear paws, and it was also mentioned that the bear paws were not cooked.

The convicted cook shows that no matter which dynasty or generation the emperors were in, their food was extremely particular. In this regard, it should be beyond the ordinary restaurants today.

Despite this, bears are protected animals, please refuse bear paws = =Meicheng of the Western Han Dynasty and his work "Seven Hairs" are very famous, claiming to have created a new style of writing. Among them, a section in which Wu Ke talks about delicious food to the prince is very touching——

The guest said: "The meat of the fat ox is made from bamboo shoots and cattails. The fat dog is made from mountain skin. The food of the Miao of Chu is made of Anhu's pigtails. The food is not digested and scattered after a sip. So he made Yi Yin suffer,

It is easy to reconcile with the teeth. The skin of Xiongqi is mixed with the sauce of peony.

Dajun is like Tang Wo Xue. This is the most beautiful thing in the world. Can the prince dare to taste it? "The prince said: "I can't do it." Here is also a direct copy of the vernacular translation from Baidu Encyclopedia: Wu Ke said:

"Cook the fat from the belly of the calf, mix it with bamboo shoots and cattails. Mix it with the soup made from fat dog meat, and then put it on the bed of shiitake. Use the rice from Chu Miao Mountain to cook it, or use wild rice to cook it.

The rice will not fall apart when rolled together, but it will melt in your mouth. So Yi Yin is responsible for cooking, and the bear paws are cooked thoroughly, and the meat on the spine is cut into thin slices for seasoning.

It is made into grilled meat, and fresh carp is cut into sashimi. It is served with perilla that turns yellow in autumn, and vegetables soaked in autumn dew. It is also made with pheasant and domestic leopard fetus.

Food. Eat less and drink more porridge. This is the best delicacy in the world. Can the prince get up and taste it? "The prince said, "I am sick and cannot taste it."

The writing is gorgeous, and there must be some exaggeration, but judging from the author's description and imagination of the most beautiful and rare treasures in the world, the non-staple food in those days was not necessarily so monotonous, and it was possible to make variations with less abundant materials.

The taste is probably greasier than the dishes cooked today. In addition, the custom of eating sashimi with perilla continues to this day, which is also a very ancient cuisine.

Putting sashimi on perilla leaves is a very popular way of plating Japanese food. But again, there are no potatoes, no eggplants, no green peppers, no fresh vegetables to eat, and no strong liquor to drink.

It's quite boring. Fortunately, at least garlic was available in the Han Dynasty. You can always make a bowl of stewed liver or stir-fried liver.

Afterwards, through the Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, ethnic integration and cultural exchanges were greatly strengthened compared to the Han Dynasty, so various food ingredients were introduced to the Central Plains. By the Tang and Song Dynasties, the dining tables of the people were greatly enriched, let alone the emperors?

During the Tang and Song dynasties, I think it would be a bit of a hooligan to mention the roasted tail banquet in the Tang and Song dynasties, but as the most famous meal in the Tang Dynasty, its menu has always been a model of extravagant feasts for later generations - Wei Juyuan paid homage to the minister and served the roasted tail feast.
