Hello everyone, I am Zhang Wenxin Food. I have shared the entire historical process of French cuisine with you before. Let me briefly talk about it today, and then you will understand.
Egyptian mural processed bread
1. The source of many of the food and wine advertised in the West before Egypt was actually Greece, part of which was inherited from Egypt, because now The Egyptian murals, the stone murals have the following crafts, those who make bread, process beer, produce wine, and make foie gras. When you see this, what do you think, how are all the processing processes of Western high-end food and drinks? In Egypt, haha, no matter what the more arrogant Westerners say, they can't change history, so they said that black people are their ancestors. Here you can see the history of human evolution of Westerners. Of course, we in the East Research shows that we are the origin of the human race on earth, and both black and white are our evolved species.
2. The early French cuisine was actually very extensive. Greece was later ruled by Rome. Food, art, science, and religion were all inherited. The center of the Roman Empire was today’s Italy. Italian princesses married When I arrived in France, I incorporated a lot of things into French food. Although France has incorporated Roman cuisine, it is still a big pot, big stove, big bowl and big basin method. It is very extensive and not what you can imagine. But refer to some old European dishes. From war movies, you will understand more clearly. People were also rough at that time.
3. Later, with the introduction of Shishi cuisine, French food took off
French food slowly evolved during the extensive banquets, and some dishes were gradually fixed. Later, Michelin emerged, setting the direction for European chefs, but the recipes remained the same, which made Michelin seem a bit rigid. Later, two masters appeared, one was Bocuse and the other Jean. Both of them lit up the public's gastronomic consciousness with their innovative dishes, and they began to be constantly sought after. Television and newspapers were constantly reporting on them. The newcomers to Michelin reached the pinnacle of history, but at this time they were not proud. I studied Kaiseki cuisine with great humility. At this time, the artistic conception often appeared in French cuisine, and it later became the norm. Therefore, in many Western food documentaries, Michelin chefs are pursuing the artistic conception between art and delicious food.
4. Why is there a little bit on the French plate?
French cuisine was initially defined as nine dishes, and later it was gradually simplified to four. In total, one person can You will definitely be full after eating 500-800 grams, such as about 50 grams of appetizer, about 200 grams of main course, about 200 grams of soup + staple food, about 80 grams of dessert, accompanied by wine in the middle, a complete set You will definitely be full after eating, so French food can satisfy you.
If these are put in a big bowl, they will be very big, but if they are scattered on each plate and decorated, they will be very small. In Europe, such an ordinary meal costs dozens of euros. , if converted into RMB, of course it is more expensive. For example, the starter is foie gras, which starts at 150 yuan. If the caviar is larger, it will definitely be ridiculously expensive. You can understand it here. If the main course is wagyu beef, sirloin or rib eye, it will cost more than 500 oceans. This is why Western food is more expensive. This refers to genuine Western food. If there are stolen goods, it is difficult to evaluate.
Okay, that’s enough about Zhang Wenxin’s food. If you have any questions, please focus + send a private message and I will answer them for you one by one.
The main characteristics of Western food are outstanding main ingredients, beautiful appearance, delicious taste, rich nutrition, etc. Western food is actually more than just food. Still art. The presentation of every dish is carefully thought out. Including flavor pairings. Includes color. If there is sauce on the side of the plate. do not hesitate. Eat it with food! The sauce is the essence. . Western food generally highlights the freshness and flavor of ingredients. The ingredients themselves will not undergo too much flavor processing. The essence of all the flavor is in the sauce. This is fundamentally different from Chinese food.
This may initially be due to lack of materials. Remember, the plague pandemic in Europe in the Middle Ages killed more than 20 million people. The mortality rate accounted for one-third of the total European population. Most of the labor force was lost at once. Supplies became extremely scarce, and naturally there was not enough food, and there was not much food in the bowl.
