People in Hunan like to eat Stinky tofu. Stinky tofu is a traditional dish in Hunan cuisine, which has a long history in the local area. Many local residents grew up eating and enjoying it. Its unique aroma and flavor have become a part of local culinary culture (饮食文化).
I came across stinky tofu, a horrible grey thing that looked and smelt like a burnt sports shoe. I gathered all my courage to take a bite and was amazed to find it wasn’t so bad. It reminded me of blue cheese, a similarly strong smelling type of food you either love or hate.

Q: 1. What causes the differences in cuisines
Q: 2. What attitude should we take towards different culinary cultures
Q: 1. What causes the differences in cuisines
Culture and history: different cultures and historical backgrounds will shape different culinary styles.
Geography and climate: the geography and climate of different regions will also affect the development of cuisine.
Culinary techniques: differences in culinary techniques (steaming, boiling, roasting, frying, etc.) will also lead to differences in cuisine.
Table settings and eating habits: differences in table settings and eating habits will also affect the development of cuisine.
Q: 2. What attitude should we take towards different culinary cultures
We should respect and accept different culinary cultures. Different culinary cultures have their own unique historical, cultural backgrounds, and flavor characteristics, which can help us have a deeper understanding and appreciation of different cultures.
In addition, different culinary cultures can also provide new taste experiences and stimulate creativity in the kitchen. Therefore, we should learn, respect, and appreciate different culinary cultures, rather than ignoring or rejecting them.
