If it is people who have lived overseas for a period of time, everyone will agree, that is, "Japanese food, great!" "what he said. Today's report is not about the number of Michelin-starred restaurants in Tokyo and the excellent food that can be eaten at 500 yen, but examines the richness of "ordinary family meals" and the "invisible housework" that comes with it. Food culture and immigration to California Rohr was born in the United States and imported to Japan, as we all know. In the context of increasingly delicious food in Europe and North America, it is always associated with foreigners and immigrants. On the other hand, Japan has no history of emigration, and although it is very conservative in accepting refugees, the scope of tolerance in the food culture is very wide and it has suddenly become open and admirable. Although it has the feeling of an island nation, it is the most advanced in terms of dietary diversity and ink. Putting aside the large number of daily table catering industry in Japan, we pay new attention to the large number of side dishes that we usually eat, as well as the extremely colorful Japanese food. In addition, we will absorb foreign food and reproduce it at home. This is also a common thing at the ordinary dinner table. Recently, there has also been the opposite trend. Before one soup and one dish, Japanese cuisine was basically minimalist, organic, and highly conscious. In any case, in the opinion of the Norwegian husband, one soup and one dish is "awesome, there are three courses today!" "it's a feeling of feasting. The plain food is also luxurious if the location is different. The line I often hear when dinner becomes a topic in Japan is "only eat fried noodles today" and "worry about the side dish of curry."what else is there when eating spaghetti? "such things are often heard in daily conversation. This is an idea that will never occur to the Norwegian. In this respect, I think the "ordinary diet" is the nature of a Japanese who can't finish it. The Norwegian diet is traditionally four meals in plain Norway. Morning, noon (around 11:00), dinner (around 5 o'clock), midnight snacks (a few hours before going to bed) I think every family will be different, but eat the same food in the morning and noon a lot. It's the rush hour in the canteen around 11:00 in the company, and the people who bring bento are basically sandwiches. And its content may be the same as breakfast. In addition, the company's lunch break is 30 minutes. The former Oslo unit. I think the corona doesn't have that kind of scenery now. Dinner gives people the impression that around 5: 00, especially in families with small children, it is over before 6: 00. Of course I ate so fast and I was hungry before I went to bed! Therefore, it was a tradition to eat midnight snacks (the fourth meal) a few hours before going to bed. Midnight snacks are yogurt and biscuits, dinner is frozen food, a dish, lasagna in the oven, served on a plate, is a very common sight. I had a meal at the weekend, but my usual life is really simple. Even if the same menu continues, no one will think of anything. Imagine the invisible housework about eating. Japan's so-called "average family" bento in terms of bento. Pan and eggshell, pan-fried eggs to household garbage, prepare colorful trays to put into lunch boxes, trays have been frozen food for 30 seconds to plastic garbage, or frozen for a week after thawing, put salad cling film into garbage, wash small tomatoes, take out the garbage. It's all going on at the same time, making a bento in Japan. It takes a lot of time every day, and a lot of rubbish is produced at the same time. On the other hand is the Norwegian bento. Lunch for 30 minutes, there is a feeling of neither delicious nor delicious, so it is effortless. The common sandwich bento is not like the colorful things that appear in Japanese mayonnaise, but two pieces of bread, cheese and ham and stick cream, caviar (caviar) in the header photo, and a piece of tomato (! Sandwiched in the middle. Therefore, the production time is 5 minutes. Maybe you can have your own meal while drinking coffee. Let's take a look at it when we get home. In Japan, aluminum in lunch boxes is non-combustible garbage, and leftovers are food waste. And finally washed it. However, if it is a sandwich bento, there is no such job. It's easy to clean up because there are the rest of the sandwiches in it. In Japanese bento boxes and laundry detergent, there is often an American phrase like "one-hit bento", but in Norway, fire has been used since morning, giving the impression of a "very conscious person". Of course, lunch boxes don't get cheap. Although I know that there is a lot of garbage disposal in Japan, this time I examine the fact that I am in the act of cooking, or dividing the large amount of time into "invisible housework" after that. Japanese women spend a lot of time on "housework" in history, and come to Japan to think about the fact that "invisible housework" takes up a lot of time. I like eating very much, but my consciousness about lunch has changed after living in Norway. Nutrition only needs to be balanced within a week. In order to protect and inherit the important food culture, any change is also necessary. The culinary culture of lunch and breakfast filled with colors and cutlery is very proud, but in order to comply with this, it is also necessary to adjust the time somewhere. Lunch is streamlined.
