[Keywords / #法式甜點關鍵詞] 為什麼法式甜點需要鑑賞？ / Why "tasting" is needed when we enjoy french pastries? (for English, please click "see more")
「吃東西就好好吃、幹嘛搞那麼複雜？」、「法式甜點難道比其他甜點高級？幹嘛要知道那麼多？」、「好吃就好了，知道更多難道它會變得更好吃嗎？」你是不是也有相同的疑問呢？今天就讓我們用 #詳細案例解析與書籍介紹 來回答這些問題吧！
📌 #吃與品嚐的差別：
「動物求飽足而人類吃東西，但唯有智者才懂得怎麼吃。」
👉👉 來看看創立世界第一個美食評鑒（可不是米其林喔！）、為品嚐美食寫了一整本探討「味覺」對生理產生的影響、甚至連「美食家」都有至少四個不同單字代表的法國人怎麼說！
📌 #飲食是瞭解人和瞭解異文化的途徑：
「告訴我你吃什麼，我就知道你是怎麼樣的人。」
👉👉 你知道在法國，「開心果與覆盆子」、「鳳梨與茉莉花茶」、「熱帶水果與芫荽」是非常常見的甜點口味組合嗎？如果不了解經典甜點的結構組成，又怎麼能看懂創作者在哪裡做了變化、哪裡是原創、哪裡是傳統、哪裡又是從別人那裡得到的靈感與借鏡？
📌 #品味甜點就是藝術鑑賞：
「餐桌是唯一一個在開頭一小時內絕對不會讓人感到無聊的地方。」
👉👉 如果在一小時之後你還感到無聊，那一定是甜點還沒上桌的緣故！

"Let's just eat, why making it so complicated?",
"Are French pastries 'more premium' than pastries from other countries or cultures? Why do we need to know that much?",
"It's alright as long as it tastes good! Would it taste better if we know more about it?"
Have you ever posed questions like the above? Let's have a look and try to answer them today!
📌 The difference between "eating" and "tasting":
"Animals feed themselves; men eat; but only wise men know the art of eating."
👉👉 The French have created the world's first food and restaurant guide, wrote a whole book meditating on the influences of taste on human physiology, such as sleep, dreams, sex, and even death; they have at least four different words referring to a foodie. Let's have a look on what they say about "tasting".
📌 Through food and eating, we get to know people and foreign cultures:
"Tell me what kind of food you eat, and I will tell you what kind of man you are."
👉👉 Do you know in France, the match between pistachio and raspberries, pineapples and jasmine tea, and tropical fruits and coriander are very common? If you have no idea on the composition and essentials of classics, how would you know the original ideas, modifications, as well as the inspirations the chef has drawn from elsewhere?
📌 Pastry and dessert tasting is an art and aesthetic experience:
"The table is the only place where one does not suffer, from ennui during the first hour."
👉👉 If you feel bored after the first hour, this must be the fact that desserts are not served yet.
