At this moment, it is less than two hours before the normal meal time at night.

But there are many ingredients to prepare.

Take appetizers for example. Only foie gras sauce is used as an appetizer. Although foie gras is big enough, the types of dishes are far from the standard of Western Banquet.

Moreover, the amount of this big foie gras is only enough for ordinary people, and it is like a piece of cake for a group of contestants.

The appetizers at the Orthodox Western Banquet are usually between two and six kinds.

Tang Ming of course chose the six most.

The opportunity is rare, and there is no reason not to earn more food.

In ordinary situations, some netizens who are deeply rooted in eating Western food have never been keen on Chinese cuisine and have hardly contributed any delicious food to Tang Ming. This time, it is a good opportunity for poisoning.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, there are ones and two.

This time, there is a gimmick of selecting the most popular Western food in Europe. If the effect is good, Tang Ming doesn't mind making Western food a few more times.

Anyway, the Oriental Cuisine did not participate in this ranking, and the result was the same for Tang Ming.

However, Tang Ming knew exactly which European cuisine is popular.

France and Italy are bound to be among them.

Especially in appetizers, France and Italy are the most prominent, with the most characteristics, which combine the strengths of each family... or in other words, the appetizers of each family borrow from French and Italian food.

This is recognized by all countries.

So, when it comes to appetizers, Tang Ming didn't even think about making any more tricks.

Ranking is just a gimmick.

Food orders are the most important.

Choosing appetizers from other countries may attract the likes of netizens in this country, but other countries cannot get used to it, it is not delicious to eat it, and it is difficult to get poisoned.

In a limited time, this is simply thankless. Instead, it is better to use the most popular European appetizers, which can attract more netizens from several countries.

Therefore, Tang Ming’s planned appetizers are only selected from the special dishes of France and Italy, and each of them is selected three of the most classic dishes.

Among French dishes, in addition to foie gras sauce, the other two appetizers selected by Tang Ming are cocktail head basins and assorted head basins that are popular among European countries in French style.

The two appetizers, cocktail head basin and assorted head plate, are available in various countries. The ingredients are similar, but France is the most outstanding. The reason is that it is related to the various special spices in France.

This cocktail head basin is usually mainly seafood, meat, fruits, and even juice, and is usually served on the table after freezing.

The assorted head basin is also made of assorted salads, which are also made of a mixture of various foods and placed in a separate plate, including various sauerkraut, pickled fish, tobacco fish, stuffed eggs, etc.

At first glance, the so-called two head basins are actually similar to the vegetarian and meat basins of cold dishes in Chinese cuisine, but they are just changed to a different name.

In fact, this is true. Foreign appetizers, whether they are meat or vegetarian dishes, are all cold dishes.

Including authentic foie gras sauce, a French specialty appetizer, it is made in an authentic way and is also a cold dish after making it.

However...if you look closely, you will find that the classification of cold dishes abroad is very different from that in China.

Domestic cold dishes are easy to distinguish, meat and vegetable dishes, and they are clear at a glance.

But this is not the case abroad.

Let’s talk about cocktail basin first.

Just looking at the literal meaning, it is not difficult to understand the word "cocktail" and "head basin" and "head basin" are the first pot of vegetables, but the word "cocktail" is a bit like meat compared to "assorted" but the actual meaning is not related to chicken.

, not to represent meat.

Because the cocktail here is not a cocktail, it actually refers to the tail of a peacock.

The habitat of peacocks has been mainly in India and Southeast Asia since ancient times, and only in Yunnan in China.

Among them, India is the main habitat of peacocks.

If you divide it carefully, if you throw away the small number of peacocks in Yunnan, China, the main habitat of peacocks is almost one of the four ancient civilizations and the entire territory of ancient India in history.

Although ancient India and India have the same names, they are actually completely different concepts.

Nowadays, Indians may have some ancient Indian bloodlines, but the civilization of ancient India has been interrupted and disappeared. Today's India cannot represent ancient India.

Ancient India was able to establish civilizations in BC and was one of the four major origins of Eastern civilization. It was once very powerful in history.

The civilization of ancient India was born in the 23rd century BC, around 2300 BC, and it can be said to have a long history.

If China put aside the mythological and legendary Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the Xia Dynasty in the three ancient dynasties, it is only calculated by the empirical Shang Dynasty, which is almost comparable to the ancient Indian civilization.

However, in the middle, ancient India has been in a split situation of tribes fighting.

It was not until the 4th century BC that a unified country was formed.

However, under the conditions at that time, even if the peacock lives on this land, there were very few people who knew and understood it, and it was even more impossible for Europeans to know it.

The most likely way for peacocks to be known by Europeans is actually Buddhism.

Buddhism was founded by Shakyamuni, a prince of a king in the early 6th century BC, and the Buddhist guardian king is the peacock.

By the 4th century BC, all countries in ancient India were unified, and Buddhism had developed for more than two hundred years and had formed a considerable scale.

However, Buddhism at that time was only spread in ancient India, that is, in the territories of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh in today's world, it was not spread far away from Europe.

Because after a brief unification of ancient India, it was defeated by the Persian Empire.

Although it was not destroyed by Persia, it was difficult for Buddhism to spread to Europe because of the blockade of the Persian army.

Because the Persian Empire also had their state religion, called Zoroastrianism, Buddhism could not develop any tricks.

In the history of China, this sect was also spread to China. It was originally called Zoroastrianism, but later integrated into China and evolved into the famous Ming Cult in Chinese history.

It was not until 305 BC that Ashoka of ancient India defeated Persia and reunified ancient India and founded the most powerful Mauryan dynasty in ancient India's history.

From this, we can see the charm of peacocks. Since ancient times, they have conquered ancient Indians and regarded them as divine birds by ancient Indians.

But in the end, Europeans still failed to know about the peacock.

Because the Mauryan Dynasty at that time was only able to compete with Persia, it was impossible to preach to the west and enter Europe.

After Ashoka's death, ancient India immediately fell apart, and the short-lived and glorious Mauryan Dynasty was destroyed.

Ancient India also failed to recover due to the destruction of the Mauryan Dynasty.

Soon after, most of the Kushan Empire, which emerged in the west, was occupied by most of the troops, and ancient Indian civilization also went from being to the brink of destruction.
