The United States has the most ridiculed food in the world, simple and rude practices, and even exotic dishes such as starry pie and black pudding. There is almost nothing except sausages, bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, eggs, baked beans and toast. As the writer Mao Mu said: Eat like a king in the morning and like a beggar at noon.
Simple thinking is another reason why American food is not delicious, and it is also the biggest difference between American food and China food.
For example, in order to eat, people in China can spare no effort to stew good rice with fresh shrimp, crab and squid for three to four hours until protein breaks down into small molecular amino acids and starch becomes dextrin or maltose. A spoonful of seafood porridge has a faint sweetness at the entrance, and finally gives a thumbs up: "Delicious"! But Americans are different. They want to eat sweets. Just a few spoonfuls of sugar will do. For example, American ice cream is a dessert, just put sugar in it. Another example is that China people emphasize that cooking should be "delicious". Under the limited seasoning, let the taste penetrate into the food in various ways. But Americans will think, just sprinkle salt.
Being tolerant may be a cultural advantage in other ways, but in terms of food, this is definitely a defect of American food. This inclusiveness has never reflected the inclusiveness of global food like China and Hongkong. Unlike the Japanese, they will not turn West Point into foreign fruit to improve their taste. Perhaps out of strong cultural self-confidence, American chefs usually conform to American lifestyles and eating habits before tasting foods from different countries.
There is a saying that what you can do is not as good as what you can say, and what you can say is not as good as what you can eat.
