I have been in contact with foreign literature for many years, from the first foreign novel The Scarlet Letter, which I read in the first grade, to the foreign literature section of the undergraduate Chinese Department, and now I am engaged in related work. The difference is that I always like to read the novel and then carefully collect the food inside. The film works are too intuitive, the TV works are too homely, and the original description in the book is the most meticulous.

One Hundred Years of Solitude-Dark Department of Magic Realism

Just remember two points about the food in this lengthy novel. First, it is the guava dessert that has been repeatedly mentioned. Second, it describes all kinds of hard food in the dark department.

What makes me think that this novel is worth recommending is the opening sentence:

Children will remember how their father sat solemnly at the head of the table all their lives, tortured by staying up late for a long time and thinking hard, trembling with excitement, and revealing their findings to them: "The earth is round, just like an orange."

Guava is not common for dessert, maybe it's not very cold. Imagine the taste, it's a little strange and fresh.

The following paragraph is for everyone to experience how the author combines emotion with food, which is fierce and decisive. Warm reminder, please don't just think about what the food inside tastes like, so as not to affect your appetite. Thank you.

Madame Bovary-the supreme experience of cake

In all fairness, I still like eating cakes, but I don't like those wrapped in sweet and greasy cream, and I prefer cheesecake or Matcha Chestnut series. In this novel, the cake is the first to be laid out and the second to be creative. As for the taste, it should be to everyone's liking. Feel it:

A lake made of jam and a boat made of hazelnut shells. Just these two sentences, I want to drown in it. Not to mention the swing frame and the exquisite fortress. A cake can reflect the decorative art and class status at that time. However, Emma is a "vanity girl", blinded by desire, and has long forgotten that the most beautiful food in her childhood was "a bowl of onion soup".

The Lonely Gourmet-A symphony of crab meat with fragrance of life

Some of Ry? Murakami's novels take advantage of the theme. The novel itself is related to food, and the level of description is needless to say. The favorite is the attractive stone crab described in it. If you are a foodie who loves literature, I strongly recommend this one. In it, the author tells the story of 32 world cuisines, traveling between colorful cities, which is a story and a poem.

For example, this sentence:

The following is a heavy description of crab meat:

Remembering the Time Gone-Madeleine's novel of stream of consciousness with a shaky heart

Proust's first contact was when he was introduced by an old class in a foreign literature class in his sophomore year. At that time, the more complicated he said, the more rebellious he wanted to find out. Later, I found out that this is actually a memory that is almost talking. The author is inadvertently aroused by a certain smell or taste, and then magically returns to the previous scene. And that little cake called Madeleine is the most wonderful food I have ever read, and there is no one. It seems to have soaked all the thoughts of the author, conquered eternity and found an absolute existence outside time.

how a small cake can make the author feel the impermanence of life disappear instantly after eating it. This small dessert touched the taste buds and launched a masterpiece, thus rebuilding the magnificent building of memory.

Perhaps, after understanding the psychedelic and entanglement, I believe that something is the same as Madeleine's, "When people die and everything in the past disappears, only the smell and taste will last forever. They are like souls, though fragile, more energetic, more illusory, more durable and more faithful."

My Uncle Yule-a luxurious version of Mo Bosang's novel, and his Chinese translation generally have an exquisite aesthetic feeling. He is very good at action description, so please read some verbs of eating oysters in it, which is simply interesting.

Tin Drum-the most wonderful food mix and match

I just list the food in it. I can't stand my favorite eel with green vegetables to make soup, and I can't stand pork loin being made into sour pie without adding cumin. God, every one listed in it is subverting my diet view.

Gone with the Wind-a typical rough school in the southern United States

This novel has been read many times, and the film has been seen at least seven times, but it is a little sad that when you close your eyes and think about it, there is no food that impresses you, so simply listing a few will only enrich the American food in your hearts.

At the beginning of the novel, it says:

Before Scarlett was sixteen years old, she brought a tray of breakfast from her mother ... wheat cakes, syrup, sweet potatoes and butter ..., cream clam pie that Scarlett entertained guests, sponge cakes and Qifeng cakes when she went to menstruation's house in Charleston; Irish bread after going to the O 'Hara family in Ireland. More or less.

Scarlett's transformation from an innocent girl to a family pillar also comes from her hunger for food to some extent. The most classic scene is that Scarlett crawled on the ground, dug a radish out of the soil at will, and even didn't wipe the soil clean, she just bit it into her mouth and said, "I will never go hungry again!" At sunset, her skirt was covered with golden light. At that moment, no one was moved by her strength.

The Count of Monte Cristo-a treasure-like list of food

The food in this famous book is not good enough, and I am a little disappointed. Moreover, the details are not exquisite enough, and it is obviously not enough to say the origin and quantity of food. Moreover, it is enough to say "the plate is silver and the plate is Japanese porcelain". You should carefully write down what kind of porcelain it is, otherwise it will add much trouble to the adaptation of film and television works.

The Catcher in the Rye-Simple Desire for Survival

This novel should not focus on food, but it is even more unpopular because of the food dotted inside, and life is worth waiting for.

Well, after studying in the United States, I didn't particularly object to apple pie, but adding a lot of cinnamon powder into it really didn't suit my appetite, and I felt that the whole person was on fire.

Sometimes, the author's attitude towards food description shows their attitude towards writing and life. I like people who write about food carefully. Like Moby Dick, the author can use a chapter to describe people enjoying clams, cod and thick soup in a pub. Like "On the Road", the buffet table is always "full of cold dishes of all colors, with all kinds of salads, golden suckling pigs and turkeys around each spiced ham."

to be alive is the simplest idea of human beings, and it has never changed. The simpler and farther away, the lighter and more real. In life, some tastes are eternal, just like fate. I hope all the food is dense and melted in the mouth, just like expecting life to be soft and smooth. If not, then summon up the courage to smile and accept these imperfections. After all, even simple buckwheat noodles sometimes warm your heart.

Ps: I hope you can add more. If that food appeals to me enough, I will definitely make it up in time. Finally, in advance of the spoiler, the next masterpiece of food revelation is "Jin Ping Mei". (Please don't blacken me because of the title.)
