Shooting food like an A movie, this is the so-called food porn. To put it bluntly, it is actually a spectacular visual presentation of glamorous, high-fat and high-calorie food. In layman's terms, it is the food visuals presented on various mass media and social media, enticing you to eat in the middle of the night. No way, who made the advancement of photography so easy to shoot food and men and women at the same time?

Originally, I didn’t regard omelet rice as my food porn, but there was a movie that deeply educates my view of food. It has established a solid foundation for pornographic food through the feat of creating a school in a century-old history of omelet rice. Omurice is innocent and pornographic in the rankings. This movie is "Dandelion," and director Itami Shisan's omelet scene with a glimpse in the movie directly created the "dandelion omelet" genre in the gourmet world.

If you want to rank the top ten food porn movies, "Dandelion" will undoubtedly have to be in the top five, and I can even include "Dandelion" in the competition for the best food movie. "Dandelion" is the best movie to explore the connection between food and sex. Itami XIII uses food to activate all our senses and our desires in all directions. He piles up all imaginable and unimaginable ingredients. In his bowl, you hardly even associate food with sex, power, profession, and class so closely in any other movie. Some critics praised the film as "a mixture of vulgar and sublime", which is what it means to see the truth in obscenity.

In this masterpiece more than 30 years ago, there are countless food shots in the past two hours. The most famous one is of course ramen. It is said that this is the best teaching material for Westerners to understand Oriental ramen. According to the New York Times, the movie After it was screened in New York, there was a wave of Americans flocking to Japanese ramen restaurants, and it became a gastronomic trend in the city. This movie also made a great contribution to the popularity of Japanese cuisine in the United States. But looking back many years later, what impressed me most was the two-minute omelet rice segment, which directly pointed to the essence of food: satisfaction and happiness.

A desperate and struggling ramen shop owner took her son and was dragged by a rough truck driver to meet the real food master: a group of homeless tramps. When the youngest son was asked what he wanted to eat, he simply replied: "Omelet rice." A dirty tramp jumped out, dragged the kid, and sneaked into the restaurant back kitchen-the show began: the blue flame "bang" The ground rises, and a worn-out frying pan appears. After the cold rice and tomato sauce are rolled in the pan in turn, the fried rice is temporarily abdicated. Eggs are poured into the pan, and the chopsticks stir frantically. The omelette is just half-cooked and flowing. , Was rolled up and covered on fried rice, forming a plump hill. finished? The hobo chef gently picked up the knife and gently cut the surface of the omelet, like Mount Fuji erupting slowly, like custard slowly melting, and the tender half-boiled egg liquid wrapped in the fried rice revealed the truth.

Accompanied by lively music, the food-stealing duo in the kitchen and the security guards who patrolled the outdoor night exchanged like a revolving lantern. This set of fast-paced editing shots in tribute to Chaplin became the most indelible stroke of the movie. Itami Thirteen’s gorgeous, funny, witty, keen, subtle and amazing style is undoubtedly reflected here-we follow the adventure, we follow the coveting, and we follow the satisfaction. Food is done here in the most relaxing way, purest love, and the most exquisite technology.

Omurice is a classic product of the combination of Japanese traditional Japanese food and Western Western food. It is a representative of Japanese Western food. There are different opinions on who is the creator. There are two most famous old shops who are arguing about this. Unsurprisingly, it is Kanto. Lawsuits that have remained unchanged from Kansai: "Renwatei" in Ginza, Tokyo (founded in 1895) and "Polaris" in Shinsaibashi, Osaka (founded in 1922), fought for the name of the creator of omelet rice. Ten years of shelf.

As early as 1900, Tokyo Renwading had the prototype of omelet rice: stir-fried egg liquid, green peppers, mushrooms and rice, and finally fry them into strips. This kind of Yuanzu Egg Fried Rice was originally a staff meal, and it was convenient for the chefs in the busy kitchen to finish it with only one hand. Later, it appeared on the restaurant menu at the request of regular customers. It is said that there are several western restaurants in Ginza during the same period that have dishes similar to omelet rice. The Osaka Polaris is much harder: In 1925, the owner improved the formula for a frequent customer who had a bad stomach and always ordered fried rice with omelet: He wrapped the egg crust on the outside of the fried rice. This is not much different from modern omelet rice.

Whether for employees or guests, the background color of omelet rice is very simple, egg crust and tomato sauce are essential, and the ingredients for fried rice are eclectic and appear more as home cooking. The most iconic last-minute tenderness of dandelion omelet rice suddenly adds infinite sensuality to this home-cooked food for the common people. The half-boiled omelet rice, or dandelion omelet rice, is said to be made by Itami Thirteen's originality. It was made by the well-established Nihonbashi shop in Tokyo in Showa 6 and has become a famous omelet genre. The price of dandelion omelet rice at たいめいけん restaurant is 1,850 yen, which is about 112 yuan, which is not cheap!

Omurice is very popular in East Asia nowadays, and it is often found on the menus of Korean and Taiwanese restaurants. In recent years, omelet rice has been used as the subject of film and television dramas, such as the Korean TV series "The House of the Tower House King Seiko" (2012), and the Japanese anime "Silver of the Food Halberd" (食頭のソーマ, serialized in 2012). Omurice has a magical evolution in these movies and animations. Those who love to eat and are curious can take a look.

Going back to my earliest memory of omelet rice, I was still in college, at the Beijing North Fourth Ring Huatang Shopping Center, CoCo Di Fanya, tonkatsu curry omelet rice. That should be the first branch in Beijing, and it has now withdrawn. As a double lover of eggs and rice, I really fell in love at first sight with this simple and gorgeous combination of omelet rice. If it weren't for the omelet is too difficult to wrap, omelet rice will almost surpass the position of egg fried rice in my comfort food list, but when it comes to food porn, omelet rice has undoubtedly rushed to the forefront of the porn food list.
