    Suman held her chin with one hand, thoughtfully. From James's mouth, she had gotten enough information about the American state banquet.  According to tradition, most of the food at the American state banquet held in the White House will be European style. In other words, steak, foie gras, caviar, even pizza and pasta will be the mainstream.  There are also some foods that will take care of the tastes of the arriving heads of state, with some exotic flavors.  This is also in line with Suman¡¯s image of a state banquet.  In other words, she not only has to consider the taste of the President of the United States, but also the taste of the President of Kenya.  Suman made a prompt decision and "searched for Kenya's eating habits." Although she had studied world history for a period of time, she focused on the development history of food and did not know much about African food.  James nodded in agreement, opened the laptop he carried with him, and began to search quickly. This is also one of the privileges of the Fine Chef Conference.  Soon, everything about Kenya was presented to Suman. She read it word for word. As expected, the eating habits of a place cannot escape the influence of the environment and customs.  Kenya is located near the equator and has a tropical monsoon climate. The average temperature throughout the year is as high as 17 degrees, which is not very suitable for grain growth.  Therefore, although rice and grains are also grown in Kenya, they are scarce and mainly rely on imports. Only corn, which is least affected by the environment, is grown in large quantities, basically meeting the domestic dietary needs.  Their traditional staple food is a particularly sticky corn paste called H11, which is transliterated as Ugali food. When it is served on the table, it is in the form of a large square brick, which is broken into pieces and mixed with meat and stews.  Eat together.  There are a wide variety of vegetables, including cassava, mung beans and potatoes. The fruits are even more diverse. You can basically eat all you want on fruits. Avocado, papaya, plantain and mango are all typical tropical fruits.  As for the specialty food, it must be barbecue.  Kenyans like to roast it and then add fresh vegetables and eat it together, which is very unique.  The country is bordered by the sea, and seafood is also a common food for Kenyans.  Suman flicked her fingers. As she expected, the eating habits of Kenyans are still in a very primitive stage, and food is only simply processed.  James on the side raised his head and hesitated to speak. Suman noticed his expression and raised his eyebrows: "What? We are a team now. If you have any problems, just say it." James frowned: "  There are two types of seating at the White House dinner, one is a long dining table, where everyone is seated, and the other is a round table, which can accommodate more guests." Suman raised his eyebrows and understood what James meant.  If it was a long table that could accommodate dozens of people, she could only choose Western cooking methods. If it was a round table, she would have more choices.  Suman was thinking deeply about what to cook for this White House state banquet. All kinds of ideas jumped out of her mind, making her dizzy. There were so many choices that she had no idea where to start.  ?Every one looks okay, but I feel that it is not perfect enough.  "The most reliable one is our Italian food. Everyone likes pizza, and pasta is even more popular all over the world. "Come on, your Italian food has long been outdated. French food is better than yours." "You idiot, you are an American.  , I just complained that the state banquet menu was all French cuisine, not to mention who doesn¡¯t know that the reason why French cuisine developed in the first place was the distant marriage of two distinguished Italian princesses.¡± Suman was awakened by the angry arguments between her two partners. Listen carefully.  I couldn¡¯t help but laugh after hearing what they were talking about. Speaking of which, European cuisine originated in ancient Rome, that is, Italy. The prosperity of French cuisine was indeed brought by the Italians when an Italian princess married to France.  There were a total of fifty. Later, the princess married another Italian princess for her son, and also brought a large number of chefs, which led to the rise of French cuisine. Suman stroked his forehead and swept the dish.  A Liu, who was looking at him anxiously and at a loss, smiled brightly and intervened forcefully: "You don't have to argue. I'm not going to cook either Italian or French food. Our banquet this time will focus on Chinese food."  "A Liu's eyes widened instantly. James and Jerome also looked like they had seen a ghost. It was written clearly in their eyes that this is crazy. It is indeed a psychopath. Suman spread his hands and laughed.  They got up and said: "There is no way, who made you two lose, who made me the chef in this round?" The faces of the two grown men immediately turned dark, and they were slapped and slapped.  The admiration in A Liu's heart could not be greater. This girl was obviously younger than him, but she was very domineering in her behavior. When she said the word "Chinese food", it was as if Suman turned away from the world's top feast.  Turning a blind eye to the dark face of his partner, it was already?After boarding a pirate ship, it is better to find out who is the boss.  Suman¡¯s mind began to work rapidly. What she said just now was not a sudden thought, but a decision she had made in her heart since she first participated in the competition.  If you want to win, use Chinese food to win. Using other cuisines is not a trick.  Speaking of which, when it comes to the history of banquets, Chinese cuisine has a long history. Starting from the sacrifices of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the Confucius Banquet has been handed down. In the Qing Dynasty, it reached its peak with the development of the Manchu and Han banquets, as well as the famous Tan Family Cuisine.  , Red Mansions Banquet, every one of them is enough to meet the standards of a state banquet.  Just now, she was thinking about what cuisine should be the main focus of this dinner. Huaiyang cuisine is China's state banquet dish. Shandong cuisine is heavy on flavor. You can also consider Guangdong cuisine, which has more seafood, Sichuan cuisine, which has a rich variety, and Shanghai cuisine, which is rich in oil and red.  Sauce, I have been picking and choosing, but I have no idea where to start.  Suman exhaled and took off the blindfold from the top of his head. His eyes were dark. Go to sleep first. We will see what happens when we get to the United States.  The flight from London to Washington was very fast. Four hours later, everyone arrived at the Washington Airport.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: A Chevrolet that looks very low-key, with a square car and a round shaft, with a retro atmosphere.  Although the state banquet was only held on the third day, Suman and others had already received approval to enter the White House in advance.  This symbol of the presidential palace is actually not very secret. A large number of tourists visit it every year. There are nearly a hundred staff members in total to provide services to the first family of the United States.  The president of the United States changes every four years, but the staff of the White House rarely changes. There are many senior employees who have worked in the White House for decades.  In the words of a White House manager, the president's wife will always leave the White House, but they will not leave. Soon, the car drove smoothly into the parking lot on the side of the White House. Suman and the others got out of the car without moving. According to the staff,  The instructions went directly into the kitchen.  A middle-aged man with a ruddy complexion came up to him. He was wearing a snow-white chef's uniform, with a round face that was inconsistent with his image: "Hello, I am the chef of the White House, Walter Scheib.  You can call me Walter." Suman could easily tell from his retroflex that he was a Frenchman.  After Walter introduced himself, his eyes wandered between James and Jerome. Obviously, he couldn't tell which of the two was the leader.  James and Jerome turned their heads together and looked at Suman, who looked petite beside them.  Suman sneered twice, stretched out his right hand, "Hello, I am the chef in charge of this banquet, Suman, you can call me 8." Walter opened his mouth half-open, glanced slowly at James next to him, and saw  The latter nodded reluctantly, and then confirmed that the petite Asian girl in front of him was actually the pre-selected chef king of this American Chef Competition. "Damn it," Walter blurted out, and then immediately apologized: "Sorry, I didn't look down on you.  You mean, you see, my deputy is a Filipino chef." Suman and others opened their eyes at the same time and looked at the woman next to Walter. Yes, she was a Filipino woman.  Chef: This was the first time she saw the world's top female chef. She couldn't help but open her eyes in surprise. Obviously, the other party was also surprised. The two of them reached out their hands in a friendly way and shook it hard.  After several people said hello, White House Secretary Susan, who had been watching coldly, said: "Mr. Walter, the rest is up to you. Please give them the dining information." After saying that, Susan, who was wearing a suit and skirt, said  Turning around and leaving, the high heels made a series of clanging sounds in the marble corridor.  Walter frowned at Susan's back repeatedly. When she walked away, he immediately complained: "You have to be careful, this woman is the best at finding trouble." Suman frowned and noticed the gentle smile on the face of the Filipino next to him.  I thought, the water in the White House is deep enough.  She winked at James, who reluctantly put his arm around Walter's shoulders, and the two of them started talking quickly in French.  Suman's French was not very good, but ordinary conversation and communication was not difficult for her. She listened carefully and carefully discerned the secrets James dug out from the mouth of the White House chief chef: "She actually said to me,  The menu we provide is country club style. Oh my god, it is set according to the taste of the president¡¯s wife and her daughter. What does it have to do with us?¡± Suman was dumbfounded, knowing the reason why President George W. Bush rarely held White House state banquets.  One, it's because this wealthy president has a manor of his own in Texas.  This Mr. President likes to entertain distinguished guests in his manor, and seems to have a closer relationship with the guests. Among the many guests, the most famous one is the famous and charismatic leader of Russia.  A Texas estate?It's definitely a country club taste.
