The preface to Mr. Qian Zhongshu's "Tan Yi Lu" says: "The East Sea and the West Sea are psychologically the same; the south learns the north and the north, and the Taoist technique is not cracked." "That's what academically. Isn't that what about eating? Previously written "Yashi Food Fun" (see link), "Yashi Food Fun (continued)" (see link) "Yashi Food Fun (continued 2) (see link) "Yashi Food Fun (continued 3)" (see link) four articles, all of which talk about Chinese and Earth food affairs, and now pick up the number of Western Oriental Food Fun, or can be reflected in China and abroad, in order to talk about help?
Yan Huiqing once served as counselor of the Qing Court Embassy in the United States, studied international law under Dr. Schketuo at the University of Washington for a year, and often asked for advice from the embassy adviser, General Koshida, so he also became acquainted with General Kosta's son-in-law Lan Xin. Lansing later served as Secretary of State to President Wilson and signed the Lansing Stone Well Agreement. Dr. Schketter and Lansing are also good friends. Once, Shi Ketuo and Lan Xin asked Yan Huiqing to go to the State Council for lunch. Yan Huiqing thought that the two of them were invited together, and the dishes must be quite sumptuous, but they just let Yan Huiqing share a few apples and some sandwiches and milk that they brought to the office to feed. Yan Huiqing therefore lamented that "it can really be described as a 'noble and simple life'".
Dumas.
The 19th-century French novelist Alexandre Dumas is said to have written this: In front of the white wine of Mon hacha, "you should first take off your hat and bow in salute before you can drink." Produced in Burgundy, France, Monhacher is known as the best of the best.
Dumas was also a well-known gourmet and a master cook. His novels "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte Cristo" were best-selling at the time. However, in his later years, Dumas's works were slow to sell and his life was difficult. His last satisfactory work was the Culinary Dictionary, completed in 1869, which contained 750 dishes and their ingredients, cooking methods, anecdotes, and interesting facts. Dumas said: "Even if you don't read all my works, at least you will leave this work." ”
Académie de France, Gerzhavière Mamière, was born in 1809 and died in 1892. He gave all of his books to the public library in his hometown of Pontarlier. Mamier properly arranged the affairs after his death, and recalled the joy of reading books on the left bank of Paris, and wrote in his will: "Yu tasted lingering on the left bank dock book stall, and enjoyed his life, so as the most important thing." All the book sellers on the Left Bank are kind and honest people, and they are highly respected. Now given away in a thousand francs, this amount can be spent by more than fifty book sellers, and it is not a good idea to feast and remember. Between the King's Bridge and the St. Michael's Bridge, there are many docks, and the rest of the day passes through it, and the mind is clear, so I take this opportunity to chat about thanks. On 20 November 1892, 95 book sellers and their companions gathered in paris's upscale and trendy D'Orvieux Restaurant for a lavish dinner of nine courses each, the main course being Orion grilled chicken and roe deer with pepper and vinegar sauce, fine wine, followed by chilled champagne and fine cognac. Shu jia chased after Mamiye's life, and the feast ended very gracefully, and no one was drunk.
Pompidou National Centre for Arts and Culture.
French President Pompidou is said to be a gourmet who prefers a stewed offal dish in his hometown of Cantar in the central mountains of France. Pompidou often invited some good friends, or acquaintances of journalists, to the Elysee Palace for a lively meal. But not all those invited will praise this dish, although the meal made by the Elysee Palace is impeccable, and some reporters will not touch it. Pompidou gave them a blank stare, and then took care of himself and feasted.
Sometimes, food also implies a deep meaning. It is said that Lithuania had a food called "Napoleon", which looked like a mille-feuille and was difficult to digest, and at that time people used it as a metaphor for napoleon's judicial reforms in the local area: too complex to be digested and absorbed by the locals; the layers were too thick to imply that the Civil Code was too thick; the layers were thick and thick as if to describe the French oppression of Lithuania.
Dr. Johnson.
People's eating habits tend to change a lot. In the 18th century, dr. Johnson lived in the era, oatmeal made of "cereal porridge" was not yet a staple in the Breakfast of the British. Johnson compiled an English dictionary in which the explanation for oatmeal was: "Oats, in England, were used to feed horses, and in Scotland were the food that men ate." "Who expected that in a hundred years, the north and south of the United Kingdom have eaten cereal porridge made of oats for breakfast. In the second half of the 19th century, the Japanese writer Natsume Soseki lived in London and was not accustomed to eating cereal porridge, and in a letter to a Japanese friend, according to Dr. Johnson's explanation, he sarcastically said: "In this way, the British have become horses." "Natsume Soseki has not seen it, and now cereal porridge is eaten almost all over the world, so isn't it true that people all over the world have become horses?"
Natsume Soseki.
Scholars sometimes use the characteristics of a certain food as a metaphor for a certain culture. British pudding is said to be flour, bread crumbs, beef kidneys, butter, brown sugar, raisins, dried plums, eggs and beer (or cognac) and boiled in a bean cloth until it is boiled into a circle. In the UK, there are "Victoria puddings", "prince puddings"... Britain once had a variety of colonies and spread all over the world, so the pudding made in different places was also made with different materials. Some historians therefore argue that pudding also reflected the cultural multiplicity of the British Empire and the harmony of British society.
Keynes.
When Keynes was in Cambridge, he would wake up every morning in bed for breakfast, read newspapers and answer calls from London brokers to learn about the world's major events before deciding on foreign exchange and stock trading. He regarded investment as a link in his abundant life, and his intellectual arrogance made him despise the views of the masses, and his investment strategies often ran counter to the masses.
Isaiah Berlin.
During World War II, Isaiah Berlin's reporting in Washington and the United States was so good that Time magazine published an article about Berlin's influence, in which it was written: "The dark-skinned, dark-haired Berlin's main job was to edit weekly coverage in the United States, accumulating reporting material through long dinners and cocktail parties." The host and guests were fascinated by his Oxford accent's commentary on the world and its incisiveness; journalist Berlin was fascinated by what he had learned. ”
George bernard shaw.
Looking at Shaw's comparative argument about Shakespeare and himself, one would think that Shaw was a self-respecting maniac. However, Xiong Shiyi, who graduated from the English Department of Beijing Higher Normal School (the predecessor of Beijing Normal University) in his early years, said that when he first met shaw, George Bernard Shaw was already eighty years old and the bear was only thirty years old, but George Bernard Shaw was polite and approachable to his guest, and did not like to talk about himself endlessly. Bear shiyi said that Shaw was a vegetarian, but never made people particularly troublesome for him. Before the meal, Shaw told Bear that although he himself was a vegetarian, his wife and guests ate fish and meat.
