There were many gourmets in ancient times who still influenced our food culture and customs, such as Su Dongpo, Emperor Qianlong and Yuan Mei. I think everyone will be familiar with it. Who ranks first and who ranks second? Let's not break it down. Just say whether they deserve the title of the most famous foodie.
First, Su Dongpo is the most familiar person. Dongpo meat, which can resist its temptation, has been circulated for nearly a thousand years. Su Dongpo has his own way of stewing meat. According to his recipe, "Slow fire, less water, and only when the heat is enough can he be beautiful", he can definitely stew a pot of braised pork with soft and rotten Q bombs.
In addition to Dongpo meat, there are Dongpo elbow, Dongpo tofu, Dongpo fish, Dongpo cake and Dongpo fish.
The picture above shows Dongpo pork made by Nuohong.
Dongpo meat looks red and bright, smells rich in sauce and tastes soft and mellow. The charm of Dongpo meat is that it is fat but not greasy, thin but not firewood, and it is swallowed with a giggle.
Second, Emperor Qianlong has charm. He visited the south of the Yangtze River for six times, and every time he traveled, he could find local delicacies with unique flavor, thus making these little-known snacks famous all over the world.
Many dishes are widely circulated because of the praise of Emperor Qianlong, and many beautiful legends are circulated among the people.
For example, the "dried cabbage" that is now hot-searched.
There are also famous banquet dishes: the first dish in the world, sweet and sour mandarin fish, Longjing shrimp and so on.
There are also some folk dishes: beggar chicken, jumping chicken, stone fish, Baixi tofu and so on.
The picture above shows the world's first dish cooked by Nuohong.
It is said that when Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he ate this dish in a small shop and praised it: This dish is loud, colorful and delicious, and it must be the best in the world.
This dish is actually two dishes, one is fried pot and the other is soup.
When cooking the first dish in the world, we must grasp the time, that is to say, when the boiling soup is cooked and the crispy rice has just been fried, it will be served immediately and poured on the hot crispy rice in front of the guests. Then you will hear a crackling sound. As the hot air rises, the fragrance will come to the nose, so this dish also has a resounding name "A thunder on the ground".
3. Yuan Mei, Yuan Mei (1765438+March 25th, 2006-179765438+1October 3rd) was a poet, writer, essayist and gourmet in the Qing Dynasty.
Yuan Mei had a reputation as a "food saint" in ancient China, so a comprehensive and systematic discussion of China cooking should start from Yuan Mei.
Yuan Mei has written a "Garden Food List" with his 40 years of eating experience! Some people say that he is the biggest foodie in the world.
The content of Suiyuan Food List can be divided into two parts. The first part is the basic theory, including "notice list" and "warning list", which mainly embodies the author's dietary aesthetic thought; The second part is the menu, including twelve aspects, such as seafood list, jiangxian list, special sacrifice list and miscellaneous sacrifice list.
The book Suiyuan Food List recorded in detail 326 kinds of dishes popular in the north and south, and Yuan Mei also solved three final philosophical problems in the field of eating goods.
What is eating goods? How to create a high-end atmosphere for eating goods? What are the positive meanings of being a foodie? It can be said that he has eaten the realm of life and eaten to a high level.
Ok, that's enough for today's sharing. What other food do you like? Welcome to discuss and share in the comments section.
