the progress of my reading of the food-related book and reflections about it

Hello!!

Finally, I've finished reading my food-related book. So, today, I'm going to write about this.


There is broader significance in characterising as "diminishing contrasts and incresing varieties" in cooking and eating of England and France. And, this is one of the peculiarities of Western society that the reduction of contrasts in culture and conduct has been meshed with the co-mingling of traits deriving initially from very different social levels. In both of France and England, two neighbouring countries sharing so much history and cultual heritage, the same long-term social processes. Thus, in boadest terms the social history of eating has been quite similar in both.

The above-mentioned writing is the overview of this book. And, I agree with this book's main idea. This is because there are many countries of cuisines in Japan, and all of them are changed to enjoy eating easily for most Japanese people. For example, Thailand restaurant in Japan, the cuisines that include less spices or harbs are served in order to be more suitable for Japanese liking. Thinking about this closely, it is very easy to notice, but I'd never notice about this before this book. That's very interesting descover for me.

So, if I have a chance to visit foreign countries, I'd like to try to eating the country cuisine in the same way with the country's people, and I want to contrast it with the country cuisine which we can eat in Japan.

There are some difficult words and few images, so it is little bit difficult for me to understand. But, there are also many example to understand easily, so I could have finished reading this book with enjoying. Actually, I don't like reading, but it was really good experiance and I could learn a lot of things from reading this book. So, I'd like to try again reading something with English someday.

Thank you for your reading!!
