過去20年間,台灣人飲食習慣之變化

更新於 發佈於 閱讀時間約 10 分鐘
How has Taiwan changed in the last 20 years regarding its cooking styles and service?

In general, many international people agree that Taiwan has a quite unique food culture, comparing with other countries’ cuisines. This comes from its geographic location, colonized history, and industrial revolution. Geographically, Taiwan is richly endowed by nature. There is an abundance of agriculture, forestry, fishing, and animal husbandry in this small island. In addition, the colonized history, including Portugal, Holland, Japan, and China, affected its eating and drinking habits. Not to mention that with economic development in the past decades, Taiwanese people have noticeably changed their cooking styles and service.

Many people argue about the identity of Taiwanese culture. It could be seen from its food culture and cooking styles. Because of its historical colonization, Taiwanese people are recognized for their mix-and-match eating palates and the development of its unique fusion cuisines. Take a side dish for example, the mashed potato is simply fused with ingredients of butter, salt, and pepper. Yet, when it appears in Taiwan night markets, corn, ham, bacon, tuna, or broccoli has been added to increase the variety of selections. Hence, Taiwan doesn’t have a single country cuisine, such as France and Japan. Furthermore, overseas tourism escalates the fusion style, not only in restaurants, but also for eating at home. The Taiwanese people love to imitate and mix-and-match what they see in other countries. It also shows that so many items are on the menu in breakfast shops around street corners.

This is especially true with the rise of globalization and industrial revolution. Due to globalization, fast-food chain restaurants had been launched in Taiwan for business expansion, such as Mc Donald’s, KFC, and Mos Burger. It seemed to be a fad in the very beginning. Nowadays, it has already become part of a common daily palate. Next, 24-7 convenience stores were open almost on every street corner. To raise the time and expense of their target customers, the service has gradually expanded, such as oden (stewed vegetables), and baked sweet potatoes. It is very convenient for people to grab a bite. In addition to changing lifestyles, working hours have been extended and women tend to focus more on work. Thus, in comparison with the old days, people used to cook and eat at home more regularly. In recent times, more people choose to purchase meals in convenience stores, night markets, or small restaurants. Gathering with friends or colleagues is also a social benefit that helps in the growth of diverse restaurants, such as: bars, bistros, fine-dining, and hot-fry restaurants. It seems to me that eating at home, especially for people living in big cities, has become a rare chance for family gatherings.

In conclusion, the cause of globalization brought the dramatic changes in cooking styles and service in Taiwan. There is a tendency that people follow the variety TV programs, movies, or even now, the influencers like Youtubers, rather than traditional ways of enjoying food. Some argue that the younger generation prefer noodles rather than rice, drink more coffee than tea, and eat out more than at home. In this case, the family relationships become alienated. The effect of nourishment is also serious, such as obesity and malnutrition. It seems difficult to pay attention to sufficient nutrition while grabbing a bite in night markets or in convenience stores. Due to current pandemic situation, staying home and working from home would definitely rehabilitate the conventional style of cooking at home and all family member gathering together.

台灣的餐飲文化,在經過島上各族群幾十年的交流之後,形成了豐富多元的面貌,長久以來,電視的美食節目總是歷久不衰,而這樣的熱潮一直延續到網路時代,像是網紅到處去吃的影片,也都大受歡迎。只要講到吃,台灣人就會展現無與倫比的熱情,每到假日,不僅夜市大排長龍,連大小餐廳也都門庭若市

看到一段影片的標題作:「台灣不只有小吃 日治時代台灣料理等於『精緻料理』?」感覺這實在有點「標題黨」。

前陣子因為快過年了,所以想說可以做個台菜系列文,我們在選店的時候,我突然脫口而出ㄟ~那上海菜等菜系算是台菜嗎?這才讓我們發現,我們好像無法定義,什麼是台菜ㄟ,才發現原來我們並不了解台菜,這才有了想深入了解台菜的念頭,因此在這個年假前,我前往圖書館,翻找跟台菜相關書籍,希望可以更加了解台菜文化。 (以

   吃在台灣已不再只是讓人吃飽肚子而已,而是講究食材、吃法、場合、氣氛,以及器血的使用與擺設的美感,甚至搭配用餐的音樂也都得注意到。因此,飲食不但是生活,而且還是文化的呈現,現在所謂的文化創意產業,飲食應該是可以集大成的。尤其現在有越來越多人旅行只是為了某一樣地方特產或者一睹餐廳的風采,因此飲食

日治時期的臺灣人,不想出門吃飯的話,同樣可以叫外送,而且有台式、日式、西式可以選擇。​他們叫外送的原因跟我們不同,不是因為怕群聚的問題,而是享受更「私密」的空間。​

中午要吃什麼?對於現在的我們來說,外食有太多選擇,有時根本天人交戰。然而「選擇太多」這樣奢侈的煩惱,對於八〇年代的臺北人來說,可是前所未見的全新體驗……
