两年前游长江三峡时,在重庆吃了一顿自助餐,其中的菜大部分是辣的。一位在1950年代就移居重庆的老人告诉我们说:“当年我从上海迁来的,也是不吃辣的,但后来就习惯了, 重庆地区多雨潮湿,容易生关节炎, 辣椒有御寒作用,有了吃辣习惯,就不会生关节炎了。”还有一次游贵州时,发现那里的菜肴辣得令人不敢下著,后来才知道,贵州多瘴气,而辣是抵御瘴气的, 逼得人们不得不吃辣。这说明气候因素是决定饮食文化的。 When I visited the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River two years ago, I ate a buffet in Chongqing, most of which was spicy. An old man who moved to Chongqing in the 1950s told us: “I was relocated from Shanghai and did not eat spicy food but got used to it. It was rainy and humid in Chongqing and it became easy to have arthritis. With spicy habits, there will be no arthritis. ”There was a visit to Guizhou, it was found that the food was too spicy, and later learned that Guizhou extravagance, and spicy is to resist belching, Forcing people to have spicy food. This shows that the climate factor is to determine the diet culture.
