What is the definition of fast food?

Let's talk about fast food in detail.

One: What is fast food and its characteristics?

Fast food is fast food prepared and served by fast food restaurants. Fast food is cheap and fast, and it has been popular since the beginning of the 20th century.

Fast food is usually food in hand, without spoons or chopsticks. Fast food can usually be taken or taken away.

Two: Chinese fast food:

Different from the understanding of foreign fast food, Chinese fast food definitely needs chopsticks. At present, the main way to dress fast food in China is a disposable fast food box, which is eaten through disposable chopsticks. China people's understanding of fast food is mainly reflected in the word "fast". The production of Chinese catering is more complicated, and fast food can be eaten directly or simply processed by microwave oven, so it is not necessary to wait until this catering production time.

In a sense, fast food is regarded as a symbol of modern culture, but in fact, some fast food may be as old as the city where they originated, and the content of fast food is very different in different cultures. In ancient Roman cities, there were stalls selling bread and olive oil, while in East Asia, it was easier to see noodle stalls. In the Middle East, it may be a stall selling flat bread and salad sandwiches.

Three: Western fast food:

The origin of modern fast food is usually associated with hamburger painting, because the earliest fast food restaurants used hamburgers as their main products. The earliest fast food restaurant in America was White Castle, which appeared in 192 1. At that time, the price of a hamburger was five cents. Later, White Castle made five small holes in the hamburger patty, which could increase the heating area, make the meat cooked faster and shorten the cooking time. White Castle is the origin of fast food industry, and it has also spawned many competitors.

The world's largest fast food chain, McDonald's, which is often associated with fast food, did not appear as a hot dog stand in San Diego until 1948. At that time, ray kroc was a wholesaler of milkshakes. He joined the establishment of McDonald's restaurant on 1954 and obtained the distribution right.

Foreign fast food mainly includes:

KFC

Pizza Hut
