Food is just the basic need of the people. If Chinese reach the highest need of the people: self-actualization, he should focus on science and technology creation rather than food. Science creation is high needs of people, while cuisine development is a low level of need of society. Surely enough, the agriculture is also need science and technology. Why not focus on agriculture sciences or agriculture technology improvement like Yuan Longping did(hybrid rice)? The American Indian's found the potatoes, corn, pepper and so on. The innovation of finding pepper is definitely higher than the innovation of using pepper in a kind of cuisine such as Sichuan Food or Hunan Food that used many pepper. "Chinese food-Sichuan Food- is very delicious", a U.S. friend of mine told me her experience in Chongqing city of Sichuan Province. But if Chinese create the computer rather than a food, I think this creation is more valuable. And if China create potato, the value is higher than changing the name from "hot and sour potato silk" to "hot pepper with sliced potato". On the other hand, Chinese should not show her "creation" by eating snakes of all kinds, bear's foot, monkey's brain while the monkey is still living, pangolins and "create" a Chinese name of a special cuisine which is difficult to translate in English. Do you think cooking a different species is a creation of a new cuisine? Then there are millions of species in the world, and so many species in the world is disappearing just because people eat them, and the Chinese cuisine is famous for this eating style: eat everything. Eat simple rather than eat complicate can lower humankind's burden of the natural biologic chain. The last , if you think Chinese food is so delicious, why Chinese is also famous in the world for her tradition of leftover both for the wealth or poor? But one thing I think Chinese cuisine is good, eat all parts of the animals. For example, eat the pig: not only the pork, but all the inner organs of the pig, the blood of the pig and so on. The world need to learn it from China. |
