sequence
Three meals a day can be said to be an indispensable "program" for people around the world in a day, and the proverb that "the people take food as the sky" is also spread in the mainland.
However, there are always a variety of food dishes that are rejected because of various customs and Xi.
Something like this happens in all corners of the world, and each country has very different food history and culture differences.
Some dishes that are ordinary and delicious in one country are not even mentioned in another.
Just like crayfish and oysters, which have been loved by the "barbecue family" in recent years, they are "scourge" creatures in Denmark.
The "dark dishes" such as canned herring and natto, which are shelved by the people of the mainland, are very popular in Sweden, Japan and other places.
Even on the continent, which is recognized as extremely receptive, there are things that are denied the table.
These are the embodiment of the customs and customs of different regions, and they also fully illustrate the pluralistic nature of world civilization.
The Brazilian table is not related to fish
Brazil is not only famous for football, but also for its global area.
Like any other land and populous country, Brazil's cultural mix can be described as "complex".
One of the most prominent is the Brazilian cuisine, which is quite regional.
For example, the pursuit of meat, Brazilians' love for meat is ranked number one in the world.
But there is only one exception, and that is fish.
As a country bordering the sea, Brazilians "invite" fish from the table and rarely eat it. Why?
Actually, it's because of the native Brazilian faith.
In addition to its large population and size, Brazil also has a rich belief system.
And as we all know, there are fasts of one kind or another in many beliefs, and the fish happens to "hit the jackpot".
However, faith is only one of the reasons, and the reason why Brazilians don't like to eat fish is because it doesn't taste good.
This is because most of the fish produced in Brazil are freshwater fish.
Stubborn Brazilians believe that the "earthy smell" contained in freshwater fish is very bad for the taste.
Coupled with the fact that Brazil's beef, sheep and even pork are surprisingly good in terms of quantity and quality, people living here are more willing to choose other meats.
Pineapple pizza, enough to make Italy mad "heresy"
Pizza has always been one of the staple foods of many countries.
This dish is baked with bread and toppings with sauces, and is popular all over the world.
After years of innovation by people in different regions, pizzas with various fillings have been born.
However, Italy, as the "originator" of pizza, has long resisted sweet pizza with pineapple with its life.
When it comes to pineapple pizza, Italians have always maintained a resolute negative attitude.
Nowadays, it is often seen on social platforms that netizens from Italy criticize pineapple pizza.
Under these blog posts about the "crusade" of pineapple pizza, it is not surprising that many Italians will echo it.
The reason why they are so hostile to the harmless pineapple is the importance that Italians place on the word "authentic taste".
Since its birth, pizza has been the epitome of Italian saltiness, just like the controversy over sweet and salty tofu brains.
At the same time, Italians attach great importance to cultural and spiritual legitimacy.
It is natural for them to think that pizza is salty, and pineapple pizza, which deviates from the salty taste, naturally becomes a "heresy" in their eyes.
In fact, pineapple is not the only one who is rejected, and the fruity sweet pizza is not in the "eye" of the Italians.
But why has pineapple pizza become the target of public criticism? Probably because Italy itself does not produce pineapples.
The core product of the barbecue stand, Denmark turned away
When it comes to barbecue on the mainland, oysters have been a popular destination for many years.
The three-piece set of minced garlic, vermicelli, and millet spicy covers it, and it is grilled on the charcoal fire, and it is sucked into the mouth and soul.
But in Denmark, the status of oysters has plummeted.
Even in Danish waters, where oysters are produced in huge quantities, they are reluctant to eat them.
The reasons behind it are hard to think about.
It turns out that the large number of oysters growing in Denmark today are not native to Denmark.
Rather, it is an invasive species from abroad, and exotic oysters continue to occupy the living space of native species, making it difficult for them to survive.
Today, exotic oysters have long occupied Denmark's waters.
These exotic oysters have a strong earthy smell compared to native oysters, which is just the disgust of the light-hearted Danes.
Exotic oysters, which grow more and breed in large quantities, have now become a major problem for the Danish government.
For decades, the Danish government has been forced to go to great lengths to deal with these oysters.
In Egypt, an agrarian country, rice is not popular
Egypt is a highly agrarian country, with more than half of the population working in agriculture.
Egypt is rich in wheat, corn and rice, but Egyptians are significantly more interested in pasta than rice.
Egyptians have a wealth of staple foods, bread bread, bean porridge and cheese, but rice has never been able to occupy the top spot on the Egyptian menu.
Compared to rice, all kinds of pasta are the absolute protagonists of the Egyptian table.
Egyptians may even have a higher demand for malt beer than rice.
Even for occasions when a side dish is needed for soup, Egyptians are keen to opt for staples such as bread.
Occasionally, the rice is steamed, and the Egyptians usually steam it with the characteristic "bean rice".
The so-called bean rice, as the name suggests, is a pot with water and steamed rice using broad beans and red beans.
There are also people who add rice to the bean rice, but the rice that finally made it to the table is still a supporting role.
However, the Egyptians did not reject rice entirely, but the cooking method in which rice was the protagonist was slightly different from our traditional perception.
That is, first stir-fried and then boiled, out of the pot is the unique rice of Egypt.
In Turkey, a foodie paradise, pork is hard to go
The first thing that comes to mind in romantic Turkey is the country's rich and unique cuisine.
However, many people only know that Turkey is a food kingdom, and it is also one of the three major culinary kingdoms in the world, but few people know it.
Unfortunately, even Turkey, which is a food paradise, has a taboo on the ingredient that cannot be served, and that is pork.
If you ask young people on the mainland what their impression of Turkey is, I believe that many people will answer Turkish barbecue.
However, the main ingredients of Turkish barbecue are beef, mutton and chicken, and there is no pork.
Turkey is an orthodox Islamic country, and the Islamic Bible "Quran" clearly stipulates that believers are not allowed to eat pork.
Pork is considered by Islam to be an unclean food.
Therefore, in an Islamic country like Turkey, pork is not welcomed by the locals, and it is even more impossible to serve it on the table.
Do not eat swallows, the unique local feelings of the Chinese
Chinese have always dominated the world food list with the ability to eat, eat, and dare to eat.
The mainland has a vast territory and a large population, and under such congenital conditions, eight major cuisines came into being, as well as countless side branch cuisines.
However, among the many Chinese cuisines, the swallow is not a common bird.
I believe that many people mention swallows, and they don't think of using them for cooking at the first time.
Although bird's nest is mainly made with swift saliva as the main ingredient, it is sought after as a Chinese medicinal material.
But what about the swallows themselves? They are almost never used as ingredients in dishes.
In fact, for thousands of years, swallows have never been an ingredient.
Compared with becoming an ingredient, what the Chinese place their trust on the swallow is more of a kind of ideological feeling.
Because in the past, swallows were keen to put their "home" on the eaves, and today we can still find such traces on some old houses.
It can be said that since then, the chirping of swallows has been combined with fireworks and has become a symbolic image of family happiness.
What's more, the swallow is also an "auspicious bird", which naturally likes to prey on pests and is a good friend of farmers.
And the mainland has been a big agricultural country since ancient times, and for such swallows, it is natural that they can't bear to eat them.
epilogue
The world is rich and diverse, and this is reflected in the different food customs of each country.
