你今天吃辣了嗎？你是否飲食上無辣不歡呢？你是否也是麻辣鍋的重度愛好者呢？
當今天「辣」已經成為中餐重要的一環，但大家可能想過，辣椒其實並不是中國原生的植物，回顧歷史辣食也是很晚才出現？
這則來自【一条】的影片，帶我們跟著作家曹雨一起來看看《中國食辣史》，從中發現「辣」如何成為中式料理的一部分，當中又有什麼樣的文化隱喻？
400年前，辣椒第一次進入中國，第一個百年，它只作觀賞，隨後逐漸被廣泛食用。到目前為止，中國吃辣人口5億，但沒幾個人知道它還有性隱喻。這個有趣的事實被廣州人曹雨發現，因為好奇華南和西南山區為什麽那麽能吃辣，他花5年時間研究，寫出一本《中國食辣史》。#書籍 #美食
400 years ago, chili was first introduced to China. In the first century, it was grown only as an ornamental plant. Later it gradually became a type of food. By now there’re 500 million people having chili in China, but few of them know chili was used as a sexual metaphor. The interesting fact was found by Caoyu, a Cantonese. Out of his curiosity, he spent 5 years studying why people in the southern and southwestern part of China love chili so much and wrote a book named the History of Chili in China.
