What is gourmet, and what is China's food culture?

People have different definitions of "gourmet".

Some people think that an ordinary meal is very satisfying and delicious. Some people eat delicacies every day, but still feel boring, thinking that they are really not as good as game turtles in the mountains. If you eat for a long time, you will feel tired. From this perspective, there may be no food in the strict sense, only the concept of food in time. This may be because with the change of time and space, people's thoughts and tastes will naturally change, which is beyond their control. If people can control it, then they won't get tired of what they eat.

What is food? Is it because those dishes that look beautiful, beautiful and full of beauty and aroma that they are considered delicious or delicious that they are considered delicious? Among all the judges, food is the closest to everyone's thoughts. No matter how you choose ingredients, how to cook, how to decorate and how to taste, the most essential thing is to feel delicious. Put aside some forms and simple handwork, and highlight the simple texture in the process.

Then, are abalone, scallops, oysters and lobsters in star-rated hotels considered as delicacies? Or those online celebrity foods that can be baked casually, those seemingly rich buffet foods? Actually, it may or may not count. For people who are not used to eating, most people's tastes may not suit him. For people who are used to eating, a five-kernel moon cake may be considered delicious, so what? Then the food he thinks may be simple and everyday food, or just like the scene described in China on the Tip of the Tongue, home cooking is the most delicious, far exceeding the fancy food in hotels, restaurants and concept stores.

As far as the taste of American food is concerned, any exaggerated evaluation and expression is only a display of his own personal taste. In other words, in the eyes of literati who used to write snacks, the food that best suits their taste is delicious. At most, the food that the public likes is a kind of collective conformity, and they feel that they have never eaten it, or because they are foodies, they don't eat all the invincible dishes in the world, and they don't feel bad. Then in your own opinion, those delicious foods are not the concept of "eating", but a marketing substitute, which allows the collective to enter and create more mystery. Many of them are fried by some gourmets, or with the change of public tastes, people gradually begin to pay attention to the possibility of food health preservation.

In the process of exquisite cooking, I saw some stories and inspirations, restaurants with stories and seemingly inconspicuous dishes. If he really presents a sincere work for every customer, then he is at least worthy of respect.

Just like a bowl of egg "ecstasy rice" in "Gourmet", it is just a bowl of ordinary barbecued pork rice, but it can impress a senior judge. It's really interesting.
