[quote=Anonymous]I recently watched a doc about Okinawa and longevity. As well as a Netflix Chinese cooking show about different delicacies from different regions.
What struck me is that they eat pork, even in Okinawa they eat spam still.
The Okinawa doc said out loud that they eat nutrient dense, calorie lacking foods.
The food doc was not about that, but it was clear to see that much of the episodes were about eating leaves, flowers and pickled veggies. This was a bout village food. I am sure cities are a different story.
There was a lot of pork and mutton too, the fat was cherished like the best shot! Half of the shots about meat were about the quality of the fat!
But, then a mom worked for two days to make her dd a specialty of the banana tree trunk for her wedding.
Another worked to make the banana flower dish.
There was no meat in either of these, just cabbage and like chilly flakes.
I am sure they had meat too, but most of the talk about meat was about using it to flavor dishes. Same with Okinawa.
I think our European food culture has created an abundance of high calorie foods. And they taste good!
In Okinawa they asked teens if they would rather have a traditional Okinawan dish or a burger from the American village. They said burger as fast as you can say it.
But, of course, they did, it is delish! But, not nearly as nutrient dense as some dried, then beat, then soaked in water, then fermented cabbage leaves!
This whole rant of mine, is basically me doing a review, don't have any idea why!
I love food, can you tell?[/quote]
