For a foodie, the most painful thing is not that there is no food to do or the food is cold, but when you finally complete the daily tasks and side tasks, the most painful thing I ordered the takeaway with my tired body and was ready to dry the meal with a certain hit show, only to find that you ordered the mapo tofu set meal, the hand slipped into -
"New! Mapo tofu set meal (strawberry flavor) Sauce)"
Huh? So why didn't I see the big bracket when I ordered it?
Strawberry-flavored Mapo Tofu, known as "Berry Po Tofu".

This so-called "improved" dish was born in Japan in April this year, and quickly received a storm of diss from domestic netizens.
Do you want to add some sweetness to my hot and piping hot mapo tofu? Haha, my fist is hard.
Why is something that I have eaten so much for thousands of years is suddenly "improved" into this virtue?
Italian: I also want to ask this question. I can't bear your scourge on Pizza for a long time.
The blood feud between the Italians and the Pizza Destroyer
When it comes to magic cooking, Italy must have a name. As a country of cuisine, Italy is rich in products, classic dishes, and unique. It is the originator of European cuisines. But if you need to pick a top class in Italian cuisine, it should be that pizza has not gone.
Thanks to the simple and open structure of "cake + ingredients", pizza has multiple possibilities, and unfortunately it has become the most shot one in magical cooking...
What, like sweetness? If you want, staple food can also become dessert.
If the combination of marshmallow and chocolate is too sweet for you but not too exciting, then you must not miss this spicy party choice that meets the needs of Chinese and Western food at the same time-spicy crayfish pizza.
If the crayfish is not fun enough, you can try the golden boy group combination of Cilantro Preserved Egg and Pig Blood Cake. It only takes a small bite, which is a great satisfaction-a real heavy mouth, a real benefit!
Even the bottom of the pizza is doomed. All round fruits, regardless of whether you are round or irregular, have become victims.

There is even a sushi cake base, which can be called the Japanese High-value mixed-race of French cuisine and Italian cuisine.

The operation that Italians hate most is the pizza plus fruit that we are quite familiar with -
You may think you want to try a wave, I even thought "Oh, that's great" in my heart. But in the eyes of the Italians, these demolished pizzas are blasphemous acts that cannot be turned back forever and cannot be justified forever-are you polite to change our pizzas indiscriminately?
Thus, the Italians launched a vigorous "jihad" in Pizza against the magic-changed pizza.
Our slogan is: Resolutely oppose the cult group of pineapple pizza!
Fight "heresy" from the doll. At the meeting, F1 driver Sainz, who was asked by his fans "should pineapples appear in pizza", said that it is really worrying to consider such evil issues at a young age.

The battlefield has even spread to the football stadium-Italian fans called out during the European Cup to stop persecuting Pisa!

Who cares whether you are a superhero or not, if you fall in love with pineapple pizza, you will be served with a big mouth.
should be both soft and hard,There is also a little Italian brother holding a guitar and "blessing" the dark chef kings with their crosses on their backs-"Do you know who wrote the hell scene in " Divine Comedy"? Yes, it is you."

Language violence is certainly not desirable, but with the expansion of the power of the demon-changed food world, we seem to understand the feelings of the Italians more and more——
Don’t worry, Let me bring it to you. Charcoal grilled sunflower plate, snail noodle dumplings, chocolate pancakes, black garlic cakes... ice cream with parsley and buns stuffed with grapes.

Hot pot with milk tea soup-hairy belly with pearls, crispy with sticky waxy, yes Isn't it a special flavor?
Mapo Tofu’s vengeance has not been reported, but there is a little... Xiaolongbao soup? ? ? As expected of you, Japan.
Bah! Zuan (the name of an area in the League of Legends game, most of the players in this area are grumpy and fragrant) The Italian is actually myself!
Why do we feel uncomfortable with magic cooking?
is just the "magic change" itself, which is not enough to cause our disgust. Many food bloggers and even professional chefs use the so-called "magic change" and mashups to innovate their dishes.
If you want to distinguish, there are actually two different "magic modified dishes":
is a phenomenon-level devil cuisine whose ingredients or taste are too non-human, and unless you are in danger, you can never consider your entrance. Among them Strange foodstuffs-such as bugs-usually appear at a higher rate.
does not take the initiative to try such things, it is probably the wisdom necessary for human evolution to the present.
Dear, how much oil do I need to put on the caterpillars?
And another magic modification cuisine is a magic modification with a relatively low horror index.Usually changes are made based on the existing recipes, and different people have different opinions on this part of the magical changed dishes.
is like pineapple pizza. It is an iron cult for Italians. For people of many other cultures, the baked fruit on pizza is the soul!
So what determines the boundary of our discomfort?
In fact, we hate a food, not necessarily our sense of taste disgusts it, but our cognitive structure disgusts it.
If we use gestalt psychology to explain, all the images we see depend on the cognitive structure that already exists in 's brain , we recognize a thing, we may only need to pay attention to certain things Features can make up the whole picture of things.
For example, we see a cloud that resembles our own dog. The shape of the cloud is actually very different from the original shape of the dog, but we can think of the whole picture of the dog only by relying on a few prominent features.
We hate "Berry Po Tofu" because traditional Mapo Tofu has been carved into DNA for us, we understand its taste and smell, and we have a fairly complete understanding of Mapo Tofu, and it is already in our minds. Formed a labeling impression and concept.
This seemingly dissimilar "strawberry version" has the characteristics of various mapo tofu, which makes people immediately think of mapo tofu, but it is not completely similar. Two opposite opinions in the brain start to fight-you see Mapo tofu, but I didn’t see it completely.
Although we cannot rule out the possible individualized differences in the human brain's taste perception-that is, we may indeed think that strawberry-flavored mapo tofu is not tasty on the taste-but it is worth noting that the above-mentioned nausea It does not depend on actual perception, but more abstract imagination and comparison can already make people feel uncomfortable.
You can magically change my face, but not my face
The reason why magic-changing lovers get a spatula on their heads is not just because of the food itself.
The reason why food can be involved in the center of the storm is that food is not only something that fills your stomach, but also symbolizes the regional culture behind it for hundreds of years and thousands of years-you destroy a person's beloved hometown Dishes may be regarded as “greeting” his fathers, old folks, and his 18th generation ancestors...
Therefore, the “orthodox” dispute between recipes can easily be raised by angry friends To the regional and cultural level of war.
Take pizza as an example. The pizza in Naples, Italy, has a history of thousands of years-the famous archaeological site Pompeii already has pizza making tools, which can be said to be a veritable old predecessor in the gastronomy world. NS. In order to spread and protect traditional food culture, Italy also included Naples’ traditional pizza culture as a world cultural heritage in 2017.
Therefore, the Italians are never willing to accept, those people who just want to change the cultural heritage left by their ancestors, and still swagger on the Internet. Is it tolerable or unbearable!
And Food itself has different functional roles in different food cultures. also affects a person’s impression of a dish.
For example, in a culture where bananas mainly appear as "fruit" instead of "staple" , boiling bananas or fried bananas as a staple food will become an unacceptable devil's behavior. But in fact, hundreds of millions of people in the world rely on bananas as their main source of carbohydrates. For people of these cultures, that is-bananas are commonplace.
Although in essence,How to prepare a dish is "orthodox", completely artificially prescribed, and there is no objective right or wrong and strict boundary. But any impact on existing cognition means a battle of different cognition concepts.
It’s not difficult for a small partner with tolerance to accept the mix and match recipes, and even think that the so-called dark cuisine has a different flavor, but more often we need to respect different food cultures and respect everyone’s different perceptions of food model.
Finally, the point is: for the sake of life, don't try to sell pineapple pizza in front of Italians.
