Chapter 617 "I must leave tonight!"
"Hmm~ This taste is very novel!"
"It feels okay."
"Ah, I don't like potatoes. I like this chicken cake."
Christopher's family members also came over to try it out of curiosity.
Paired with the veal Milanese that Li Jinglin didn't show off just now, this unique flavor suddenly becomes even more unique.
"Potatoes are so delicious, but this chicken cake is weird! I think we should add milk and sugar, so it looks like pudding."
"Isn't the point of the cooking process? My God, he seems to know kung fu, otherwise how could he mess with that potato like this?!"
"Yes, it's so fast, and it looks quite simple. How can it produce such a strange taste?"
Li Jinglin smiled after listening to everyone's comments.
Preferences vary.
"No, not at all!"
What's more, in the entire Western world, the evaluation of the delicacy of eagle sauce is also difficult to describe. Most old Europeans even ask, do you really know how to eat eagle sauce?
It doesn’t represent Western diet at all.
When eating Western food, you will often encounter exotic flavors that surprise you, or tastes that are completely unacceptable.
"Then what do you like to eat more?"
"Christopher, do you have any taboos?"
It is impossible for everyone to rate the same dish the same way.
The so-called consensus is difficult to reconcile.
"Well, actually, I can eat them all. I want to try more different things, but if I say what I want to try the most, I want to try noodles, especially fried noodles!"
For example, Li Jinglin himself thinks that the classic spaghetti with meat sauce is really delicious, and there is something special about the old European noodles with soy sauce.
In fact, this is the information cocoon of the Internet.
For Christopher, or for Westerners, the same is true when eating Chinese food.
Internal organs, or some special parts.
Old Europeans actually do not reject this, and are even very accepting of it.
There is no dissatisfaction or complacency or pride.
It's just eagle sauce, and only a part of eagle sauce.
In fact, although Europe is not unified, it has a long history. How could it not be eaten?
Although there are few Europeans, productivity was also low in ancient times. Not to mention meat such as water, they would eat whatever they could.
Many people have the impression that Westerners don't eat offal, or they think Chinese food eats everything, which is barbaric or disgusting?
Not eating offal, talking about environmental protection and caring for animals, it's a good thing.
Christopher's words immediately made Li Jinglin realize that an Italian was obsessed with spaghetti bolognese.
As for the taboo issue, Li Jinglin is actually not surprised.
If you can simply use these two home-cooked dishes to make everyone feel good and delicious, and arouse their curiosity about the special flavor of Chinese food, it is already very good.
on the contrary.
The acceptance of foreign delicacies, novel spices and foods is also quite high.
The national dish of Yingguo is curry chicken.
Food culture mainly comes from crops and animals growing in different geographical locations, which determines the use of vegetables and spices.
This is the source of the "strange flavor" or "unaccustomed to eating".
And for foodies like Li Jinglin and Christopher
There is really nothing unacceptable.
No matter where you eat food, deliciousness is the key. If you have a high acceptance of the taste, you will naturally enjoy it wherever you go.
Time passes slowly.
Li Jinglin stayed in Milan for two days.
Christopher became visibly agitated.
In the past few days, the two have been exchanging delicious food.
Li Jinglin ate a variety of Italian-style dishes.
And Christopher naturally ate a lot of Chinese home-cooked food.
During the exchange, we even tried different ways of making the same new dishes.
For example, Coke Chicken. Li Jinglin naturally made it in a Chinese style, using a little bit of five-spice powder to prepare the salt, soy sauce, and spices.
Christopher, on the other hand, uses Italian spice ratios.
The Italian braised cola chicken, which uses tomatoes and red wine, adds garlic powder, onions, oregano, basil, rosemary, and parsley, also has a special flavor.
The more they communicated, the more Christopher looked forward to Chinese food.
For a foodie, it's really heartbreaking.
When it comes to treatment, Christopher really hates having to ask for money, so he should get down to business quickly.
Of course, they did not ask for money.
What does that little money mean to Christopher? For a documentary, how much can you give even if you pay?
The important thing is exactly what to do on this trip. The food is what Christopher wants most.
"Li, you can't be so dawdy, you have to do things quickly."
Christopher has already begun to urge Li Jinglin to return home quickly.
By the way, I followed along.
"Work is what's important! We really have to start working quickly!"
"Okay, okay, let's go back tomorrow!"
Li Jinglin was so urged that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had no choice but to nod his head and agree.
"Ticket ticket! I'll buy it now, I'll buy it now"
Open mobile ticket booking.
Li Jinglin looked at Christopher.
"Isn't the one at one o'clock in the morning tonight a bit too late? There is one at noon tomorrow, how about it?"
Unexpectedly, after hearing what Li Jinglin said, Christopher shook his head repeatedly.
He looked at Li Jinglin with bright eyes.
There was determination in his eyes.
"I'll have thick hair tonight!"
"."
time flies.
That night, it was one o'clock in the morning Milan time.
Li Jinglin and Christopher got on the plane.
Being older, Christopher was indeed a little tired after getting on the plane, so he went to rest directly.
The flight lasted fourteen hours.
When the plane landed at Pudong Airport in Shanghai, it was 10 . Beijing time.
After getting off the plane, I was very tired.
But you must eat first.
As soon as he got off the plane, Christopher couldn't wait to let Li Jinglin take him to taste orthodox Chinese cuisine.
After coming out of the airport, I got in the car and looked at the different foreign cities around me.
Christopher had a rather shocked look in his eyes.
In fact, Christopher knows that China has developed very rapidly in recent years, and he has not been brainwashed. He is completely the kind of person who can know the true appearance of China and has no prejudice against China.
But even so, after coming to experience it in person, I was still shocked.
Know and know, see and see.
It's another thing to feel it for yourself.
Christopher, who came to Shanghai from the cosmopolitan city of Milan, originally thought it should be about the same, but suddenly felt that with Shanghai like this, Milan still had too much to catch up with.
After all, Christopher has lived in Milan for too long and has become accustomed to Milan's style. Suddenly coming to a foreign city that is not inferior to Milan or even slightly better, the experience naturally explodes.
Facts have proved that the "the moon is rounder abroad" effect.
is ubiquitous.
