2000/05/04 Sanlian Life Weekly Author: Lao Le I'm not particular about my diet, I can eat almost anything, and I can't eat anything good or bad.But when I'm not eating, I have another obsession: watching cooking shows on TV. I like to see how chefs turn potatoes and scallions into beautiful dishes, and I also like to hear their introductions about what seasonings should be used, how much heat should be used, how it tastes, and whether there are any allusions, and how to eat is the most authentic.Still, I never wanted to actually try these dishes, let alone learn to make them. The beginning of the movie is cooking: an old man is cooking all kinds of famous Cantonese dishes that I have only seen in recipes.I don't know the specific name of the dish, but turtle shark's fin and scallops are used a lot.Finally I found out that he was actually preparing a box lunch for his grandson when he went to school.It's hard for me to imagine that I can endure such a "box lunch".

If it looks good, I don't care if that dish is real.So, I don't care when people say that there are some dishes in "Man Han Banquet" that will never appear in the real Man Han Banquet.What interested me was something I heard from a colleague.When a TV station broadcast "The Feast of Man and Han", it cut out a lot of the emotional scenes in it, and finally turned it into a Cantonese cuisine feast.Not long ago, on my way to Shanxi, this film happened to be played on the coach.Of course they played the full version, but I wanted to try that kind of "editing" effect.So, as soon as I encountered that kind of scene where you love each other, I turned my head to look at the barren mountains and mountains outside the window.As a result, I feasted my eyes that day.Carved tofu, crispy beef, glutinous rice meat with rock sugar, yellow croaker in soup, looking for bears on snow, one palm of heaven and earth, powerful mountains and rivers, rich and noble elephants, Monkey King meeting tiger sharks, boiling oil to burn monkey brains - see It's more enjoyable than any TV cooking show.

In addition, there is another movie that I want to "edit" in this way.After watching it, I am not interested in the grievances and grievances in it. What impresses me the most is that the various characters in the film are constantly eating various meals.The hero and the heroine fell in love at first sight in a small restaurant, and finally they fell in love in another small restaurant.During this period, they eat supper after work, and eat nourishing food after getting sick. When the two families take turns to visit, they take turns eating at the two families.I believe that if those emotional scenes are cut, this will be a good documentary about Shanghai local dishes and local snacks.

Later, I saw an interesting program on the Chinese channel of satellite TV: the hostess diligently tasted the dishes of four restaurants in half an hour.I love this show from the bottom of my heart because its plot is so simple that I don't need to do any more "editing" myself.
