Why is Su Shi called a gourmet?
Su Shi is the most famous gourmet in the history of China. Because he invented a dish that has always been popular: Dongpo meat. In addition to pork, Su Shi's favorite dishes include all kinds of fish (including yellow croaker, octopus, perch, etc.), the most famous of which is about puffer fish.

One of the poems in "Two Late Scenes of the Spring River in Hui Chong" says:

There are three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, and the duck prophet warms the spring river.

Artemisia selengensis has short reed buds all over the ground, which is the time when puffer fish want to go up.

This shows the courage of the gourmet Su Shi. In his later years, Su Shi's interest turned to vegetarianism, mainly eating vegetables and fruits. During his stay in Hainan, Guangdong, he tasted all kinds of fruits in the south, such as bayberry, tangerine, litchi, longan, olive and betel nut, and he didn't like anything. Among them, I especially like lychee. "There are 3 lychees a day, so I don't hesitate to grow up as a Lingnan person!" Famous sentences remain in the world. In addition, Su Shi also devoted himself to the development of soup (soup) in his later years. He has invented several kinds of soup, one of which is made of spring bamboo shoots, rice dust (broken bits of ginger, garlic and leek) and shepherd's purse. "In the new year, bamboo shoots sprout, and the frost in the kitchen pours out the old opium poppy. When I go around the wheat field, I beg for wild grass, and I am forced to cook mountain soup for the monk's house. " ("The second rhyme is planted by vegetables for a long time without rain") One is made by Su Shi in the field, with a broken tripod. The main materials are turnips and turnips (that is, radishes). This soup probably has a good health care function, and Mr. Dongpo is quite proud of it. He calls himself "Zhen Boiled" and is named after "Dongpo Soup" ("Dishao Prefecture Boiled Stewed Stewed Stewed Stewed Stewed Stewed Stewed Stewed Stewed Stewed Stems and Reed Soup"). There is also a gold medal Dongpo Soup, named "Dongpo Yuman Soup"-actually invented by Su Shi's son Su Guo. "Sweet as a dragon's saliva is still white, and it tastes more clear like milk. Don't make the South China Sea golden, lighter than Dongpo jade! " ("The child suddenly comes up with new ideas, and the yam is used as a jade soup, and the color and taste are wonderful. Su tuo in the sky is unknown, and there is no such taste on earth.) The taste is so good that Su Dongpo kept the recipe secret and refused to publish the recipe, only telling us that the main material is sweet potato.
