Since it is called a state banquet, it means that the country is hosting foreign envoys and guests, meeting important leaders and some important people in China. Sichuan cuisine is characterized by its strong spicy flavor, and there will be a lot of spices such as pepper and pepper in it. No matter the color or taste, it will be very mouth-watering

And those foreigners who don't understand the characteristics of China will inevitably be tempted by the surface of the food and take a bite. As a result, spicy tears and runny nose will come out, and the image will be really unsightly, which will easily give them a bad impression that Chinese food is not delicious. Even some people can adapt to this spicy degree, but it may also cause excessive internal heat and gastrointestinal discomfort. Therefore, in order to take care of the tastes of most people, some Sichuan dishes in the state banquet were carefully considered by the chef and removed.

And some friends may say, just put less pepper. However, without pepper, it can't be made into the unique flavor of Sichuan cuisine, and it can't represent the characteristics of China and Sichuan, thus losing the significance of this dish.
