数学家苏步青对饮食要求不高,但有一条养生保健经验:对喜欢吃的东西不要吃得太多,对不喜欢吃的东西也不要一点不吃。所以他到了广东,也有兴趣品尝蛇肉和狗肉。当年他在日本留学时,一见生鱼片就恶心。后来,慢慢地习惯起来,还爱上了这种食物。秦牧的知识渊博,在饮食上也是“博采众长”的——既不挑剔,也不囿于成规。他对荤食品几乎是来者不拒。他在《吃动物》这篇散文中提到,他没吃过老虎、狐狸这类野兽的肉,但吃过豹、梅花鹿、果子狸、黑熊和野猪等的肉。他说黑熊肉吃起来有点像猪肉。他在广州买到过一斤鲸肉,炒了吃,肉味似牛肉,而纤维比牛肉坚韧得多,十足是一种兽肉的味道,但膻味很重。 Mathematician Su Buqing requirements of the diet is not high, but there is a health care experience: Do not eat too much to eat something, do not like to eat something not to eat.
