Clever recipes have been my recent go to a lot lately.
I am starting to think the concepts of Asia being some socialist utopia comes partially from them having more simple cheap and mass made food items designed to feed lots of people for less resources. Food came first, governing style after.

You ever see those comments from people who wish they lived somewhere else and idealize another country.

Mmm I mean there us a lot of myth of it, even Mahayana Buddhism is built on the idea of everyone together.
But my point is specifically that the food somewhat feeds the myth from a staple grain allowing for more available calories while developing. And their dishes center around using small amounts for large portions with simple fillers.
It makes it feel like you could feed the poor. Better than corn starving them anyways if you know anything about Pellagra.

You think they invented that food culture to fit the society? That food culture evolved over centuries, it wasnât âdesigned.â Rice was an established staple crop in Asia long before they were discussing modern governmental philosophies. It happens to fit your description of cheap and plentiful food, but it wasnât âdesignedâ to be that, it evolved to be that.

RightâŚ
Obviously it was bred over generations but that is somewhat by design even slow and not always straight forward. And the methods of preparation have changed to allow for it to be used in lots of ways. My point was that the food shaped the culture because of its usefulness and let it be less restrictive. Why does it feel like everyone read this backwards?
