What do volunteers and service teams eat in the Winter Olympic Village? The "answer" was packed in a refrigerated truck pulling out of Zhucheng, Shandong Province.
In the early morning of January 24, after a long journey of more than 600 kilometers, the car arrived at the Beijing Winter Olympic Village and the Yanqing Winter Olympic Village. Unpacking and unloading, the "prefabricated dishes" including four varieties of beef pie, beef dumplings, German grilled sausages and pan-fried beef sausages were unloaded into the Olympic Village, and their total weight reached 17 tons.
This batch of prepared dishes comes from Shandong Bindley Food Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Bentley). In fact, from January 13 to 24, the company has supplied 32.5 tons of prepared dishes to two Winter Olympic villages through the above method. In addition to the above four varieties, next, the company will supply five varieties of "pre-made dishes" such as pork and scallion soup dumplings, leek egg soup dumplings, pork celery soup dumplings, pork leek soup dumplings, pork leek soup dumplings and pork scallion pie to two Winter Olympic villages.
Science and Technology Daily reporter noted that there is currently no unified definition of prepared dishes. Generally speaking, it refers to a convenient dish that is paired in the factory, stored in frozen or vacuum packaging, and then simply cooked or simply cooked through the combination of ingredients and packages in the pre-made dish packaging, and can be eaten directly.
Affected by the epidemic, the demand for eating at home has increased sharply, and the "home economy" and "lazy economy" have flourished; in addition, the development of cold chain logistics and changes in population structure have brought prefabricated dishes to the outlet. It can be said that pre-made dishes are a young industry spawned by young people.
Bentley is a subsidiary of Shandong Delis Food Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Delis), the first low-temperature meat products enterprise in mainland China.
