Are you greedy? Take stock of state banquets around the world.

Seriously, the state banquet is actually nothing more than a display of food culture and folk customs. Different countries and ethnic groups have different cultural backgrounds, and their food customs are also very different, so the state banquets in different countries are also different from place to place and from ethnic groups, and they are colorful.

State banquets in foreign countries are usually dinner parties. Attendees arrive at 8 o'clock, have a drink and chat, and often eat until 9 o'clock or 10. All the people attending the state banquet are dressed in formal attire and seated according to the reserved seats. Everyone talks about politics and friendship, and of course there are worlds apart. A state banquet usually lasts for two or three hours, but the food is far simpler than people think: it is often a little cold dish, one or two hot dishes, a dessert, and bread and drinks provided at any time on request, which is completely different from the luxury of Kangxi's old people in the Han Dynasty.

Of course, simple meals do not mean "politeness is not important". In fact, western-style state banquets pay special attention to etiquette, and kung fu is often outside the meal. For example, in Switzerland, the state banquet hosted by the Federal President for diplomatic envoys of various countries is all three dishes and one soup, plus a dessert, but the shrewd host is good at creating a warm atmosphere with colorful flowers and wonderful music, which makes you feel at home. The design of dishes is even more ingenious. The dessert is decorated with the Swiss flag pattern, and the mushroom steak shaped like bear's paw looks pleasing to the eye. Bern, the capital of Switzerland, is called "Bear City". After eating this dish, you will never forget Bern from your stomach to your brain.
