吃着吃着就老了

by 陈晓卿

《风味人间》总导演陈晓卿的舌尖寻味故事。

一部吃透人生的随笔集，一本掏心掏肺掏胎记的诚意之作。

从十七岁出门远行，进京上学，到误打误撞成为一个美食纪录片导演，再到后来成为全国闻名的吃货，漫漫人生路，每个阶段都有与食物相关的记忆。

年少时候，好吃是六毛钱的缸贴子，邻居家的西瓜酱，第一次下馆子时把嘴巴烫出泡的萧县羊肉汤，这些是刻在基因里的叫乡愁的东西。一个外地务工人员的北京记忆，是难过时府右街的延吉冷面，寒夜里24小时的马华，以及人手一把肉串，喝着工业啤酒，聊着维特根斯坦的岁月。

食物，连接着故乡与世界。每个人都可以在“吃”里找到归属。美食并不小众，它藏在大多数人的一日三餐里。说到底，于勒叔叔的生蚝和父亲病榻前的萝卜丝汆丸子并没有本质区别——你吃到的，就是最好的。

This book is entirely unrelatable to me (which also means it’d be very relatable to most ppl).
I disagree with almost every sentiment expressed. (The “everyone only loves the flavours they grew up with” on nearly every page; the classism of the intellectuals; the ambivalent sexism; a variety of essentialism.)
Yet another male food writer who does not write about his own cooking if he cooks at all (this book actually has one mention right at the end).
Good thing he hinted 2 times at an unmentionable event.
Seeing an older person misuse pop slang is always cringe.

I enjoyed reading this, but to me it is the kind of book that’ll only leave a general impression and nothing to ponder.

It’s like, listening to your dad, telling his war stories, except that it’s around road trips discovering different local food and flavors around China…

很有意思的美食随笔，其中提到的 龙虎凤 这道菜有点怕啥

第一次看美食類的書，帶著“圓桌派”的濾鏡來的，這本比較偏隨筆。

作为舌尖上的中国导演，果然对美食很有热情，虽然不自称美食家而喜欢被称为纪录片导演，但看得出他对美食的热爱。
有什么能比把自己的热爱和工作融合在一起还有趣的事情呢？真好。
