So, there's nothing that a meal of fried chicken can't solve, and if it doesn't work, come to it twice.
But when it comes to fried chicken, Xiao Po's brain has been swirling around a question, where does fried chicken come from? American fried chicken, Japanese fried chicken, Korean fried chicken is so hot, why does Chinese fried chicken always not deserve to have a name? After consulting the history, I finally discovered these secrets!
01
Japanese fried chicken is passed down from China
Now every time you go to a Japanese izakaya, you must order that famous dish - Tang Yang fried chicken. The crispy taste on the outside and the tender taste on the inside, the impactful flavor can arouse people's appetite.
But what few people know is that in fact, this is from the originator of our Chinese fried chicken- fried eight pieces in the identity of Pucha cuisine (commonly known as vegetarian food), passed to Japan. However, later Japan experienced the defeat of World War II and the shortage of food, so the introduction of quick broiler chicken from the United States made its fried chicken industry develop by leaps and bounds. Coupled with their hard work, they eventually made Japanese fried chicken famous in the chicken altar.
So since we talk about our fried chicken originator fried eight pieces, let's talk about its origin. Fried eight pieces, also known as eight pieces of chicken, is the traditional famous dish of Henan, as the saying goes, "chicken eats bone fish eats thorns", which means that chicken and fish grilled bone and thorn meat is the most delicious, the most delicious. The fried eight pieces are made from the wings of the chicken, the chicken breast, and the bone-in meat of the thighs.
According to relevant information, this delicacy was first recorded in Yuan Ming's "Suiyuan Food List", "burning eight pieces, tender chicken, chopping eight pieces, rolling oil cannon through, de-oiling". The "Suiyuan Food List" was written during the Qianlong period, so roughly estimated, fried eight pieces in China is at least a hundred years old. In addition to what is included in the book, it is rumored that the Qianlong Emperor once tasted this delicacy when he inspected the river and passed through Kaifeng, and praised it, so that this delicacy could be famous in the world and well-known to the public. Moreover, fried eight pieces is also one of the four dishes that Mr. Lu Xun, a famous modern literary artist in China, loved to eat in the "Henan Restaurant" in Shanghai that year, and it is also a famous dish of "Hou Defu" in 18 chain stores in the late Qing Dynasty.
So now I know, we are also a proper country of fried chicken history. You still have to arrange a resounding row of noodles for it!

American fried chicken is the soul food that once comforted the black people in the South
Those who have watched "Green Book" know that this movie has a famous scene, that is, the driver Tony took the male protagonist on the way to the tour, bought a bucket of fried chicken, ate it while eating it, drove the car, and did not forget to invite the male protagonist to eat together. As a result, the male protagonist initially refused with "I have never eaten fried chicken in my life".
But in the end, they did not resist today's temptation, and the two of them devoured the image in spite of the image, and even threw the bones out of the car window.
Let's think about it from the perspective of a normal person, can a pianist like the male protagonist never eat fried chicken in his life? Isn't that a fuss! In fact, he said so, but he wanted to try to make himself look less like "black" and try to avoid the mistakes of black people. Because in the history of black people, fried chicken symbolized the food of "inferior people".
In the era of slave trafficking in history, the food available to black slaves at that time was extremely limited, coupled with the heavy daily work, high-calorie and high-calorie food became their "just need". Corn, fish, sweet potatoes, pork and other ingredients gradually became the daily diet of the black slaves.
Pork, in particular, has become a very frequent food in the daily diet, while chicken is more cheap, easier to obtain, and is also widely favored by slaves, in the production, they also take frying, frying, stewing and other simple and rough cooking methods; over time, fried carp, fried ribs, rural one-pot stew, etc. have become exclusive black slave dishes.
While this way of cooking was gradually accepted in the South, it also gained a "nice" name: Soul Food. The food is called "soul" because it alludes to the tragic and poignant history of black people. Food writer Rob Walsh once wrote in his book "Eat the Adventure": Black people have limited choices in cooking, and where the quantity, variety, and taste are not enough, they use their souls to make up for it.
So seeing this, the "inferiority" behind the male protagonist's rejection in the film at that time can also be understood. Of course, now fried chicken has become a delicacy loved by all classes and races ~ after all, no one can refuse this kind of happiness that makes people "top"
