2021年11月8日 生野菜が恋しくて
中国に出張に行った際に欲しくなるのが生野菜サラダだ。元々中国には生食の習慣がないためか、ホテルの朝食ビュッフェ含めて生野菜サラダが食べられる場所が少ない。
一緒に行った仲間などは鍋に入れる葉物野菜を鍋に入れずにバリバリと生で食べて中国人から窘められていた。
海外では生野菜は注意を要する食材だ。多分、洗ってはいるのだろうが、洗う水質の問題だろう。フィリピンに行った際にも仲間が赤痢にかかった。
生ものや水には人一倍注意を払っていて水割りに氷も入れなかった程のその友人だが、どうも「冷やし中華」の上の野菜まで注意がおろそかになっていたのだろう。
日本では当たり前の生野菜だが、海外にいると恋しくなる。
Missing fresh vegetable salad, November 8th, 2021
When I go on a business trip to China, I want a fresh vegetable salad. There are quite a few places where we can enjoy fresh vegetable salad,
including the hotel breakfast buffet, probably because there is no custom of eating raw food in China. The friends I went with were eating
raw vegetables without putting them in the pot, and he was reproved by the Chinese.
Raw vegetables are ingredients that require attention overseas. Maybe it night be washed, but it's a matter of the quality of water for washing.
My colleague also had dysentery when we went to the Philippines. He was so careful about raw foods and water that he couldn't even put ice in the water,
but he probably neglected to pay attention to the vegetables on "Cold noodle (Chilled ramen)". We can eat raw vegetables everywhere
in Japan, but I miss them when I'm abroad.
