China's top royal dish "Man-Han Banquet", except for a few satisfying game, is totally Shandong cuisine, which shows its position and strength. It takes ten years to train a Shandong cuisine chef, and it takes half a month to prepare Shandong cuisine materials for a banquet. With the cooperation of many chefs, the time, economy and labor costs are too high, and it can only be used for high-standard and national-level large-scale banquets.
But if this question is asked to overseas Chinese or overseas students, maybe the answer will be "Cantonese cuisine". There is a reason for the high voice of Cantonese cuisine. First, because Cantonese immigrants have a long history, they have already taken root in Cantonese restaurants and restaurants in Chinatown in various countries and started the "promotion work" of Cantonese cuisine internationalization. In addition, Hong Kong is a major consumption town of Cantonese cuisine, and the Hong Kong opera Hong Kong Star has also invisibly promoted the development of Cantonese cuisine.
Of course, if you ask the public or foreigners, maybe the answer will be Sichuan food. Sichuan cuisine is almost one of the most influential and powerful cuisines in China. At least in terms of radiation population, it has its own unique advantages.
As we all know, the specialties of Sichuan cuisine, such as "Mapo Tofu" and "Fish-flavored shredded pork", are very popular internationally. In recent years, the spread of Sichuan cuisine is simply a magical sample in marketing, because it is convenient to obtain materials and easy to operate. The simplest couple can open a Sichuan cuisine restaurant with a pot, a table and a handful of peppers.
The internationalization of Sichuan cuisine has gone well. Not only hot pot brands, but also Chinese food brands such as Meizhou Dongpo, Chengdu Impression and Old House have also achieved good results in foreign markets. The high recognition of Sichuan cuisine is of course beneficial to overseas promotion, but there is still a long way to go for dish-shaped problems.
Whether it's Cantonese cuisine or Sichuan cuisine, it doesn't say that other cuisines are crushed in terms of cooking skills or status. However, judging from the popularity of restaurants in other places, the fans of Cantonese cuisine are also quite large, and Sichuan cuisine does have a high degree of acceptance.
In fact, each dish has its own crowd and unique characteristics. Arguing about who has the greatest influence in the world is actually a false proposition.
