In Downton Abbey, why can Mrs. Paddmore, the chef, make delicious food suitable for large and small banquets? Do you still remember the fat cook "Mrs. Paddmore" in the popular British classical drama Downton Abbey? The kitchen system of English manor generally includes Cook, Kichen maid and Scullery maid. Mrs. Patmore in Tangjiatun is Cook, while Daisy is Kichen maid. Just like the modern kitchen system, the head chef, deputy chef, head chef, assistant chef, etc. all have their own duties. At that time, chefs were generally cooks, working in two or three different kitchens for about ten or twenty years, and finally they could become chefs in high-class restaurants or great house through the recommendation of others. This kind of experienced chef who can cook delicious food is not affordable for every aristocrat. Many small nobles can only hire a maid to cook and eat. This is the case with most Russian aristocrats, who don't even eat as well as urban property owners. It is said that English food tastes terrible, but I think Downton's table is quite appetizing. Why?

Don't they all eat tall meals, and now ordinary people rarely eat like this? When cooking English food, seasoning is rarely put. When dining, salt, pepper, mustard, soy sauce and other seasonings are added according to personal preference. The French cuisine next door to Guanzhi is rich in spices, and it can be compared with China cuisine by making good use of various spices such as vanilla and wine. There are more than 21 kinds of Sichuan dishes in Chinese food, which are all kinds of flavors, while English food is all kinds of dishes. The ingredients used in British cuisine are relatively simple, such as fish, beef and mutton, chicken, pork, bread, tomatoes, potatoes, black tea and milk. Simple ingredients, coupled with simple cooking techniques and simple seasonings, have created simple British cuisine. Representative dishes are stewed mutton with potatoes, fried fish steak, fried cod chips, roast beef, roast mutton, apple pudding, muffins, cream tea, haggis lamb tripe with meat, Chafo, sausage and mashed potatoes. French food, Italian food and Chinese food are much richer.
