动漫衣服素材Food Culture
Generally speaking, we Chine think food is very important to man. People often associate food with important holidays and the chance to meet distinguished guests. The Chine food not only is very delicious and tasty but also very pleasing to your ns and many of dishes have very beautiful and fancy names. The Chine have the food culture of our own which are quite different from westerners. In the west, people pay more attention to the nutrition of food rather than the looks of it. The cuisine and table manners are quite different from ours in a great extent. Greeting by Asking Your Meal in China
巧治失眠It is a very common practice we Chine people say "Have you had your meal?" when they meet each other around the time before or after meals. Sometimes they even ask this question everywhere even in toilets. In fact, it is a kind of greeting to communicate with each other. But foreigners cannot understand that becau they think why you ask me this. They tend to think you want to invite me to dinner or I am not rich enough to feed mylf regularly but that is my business not yours. Chine think food is very important and esntial to people so it shows some care and concern about you.
Everything is eatable in China
我爱这土地教案
It ems that we eat everything and everything can be eatable in Chine food, whether it comes from land or from the sky or from the a or whether it is wild or domestic or whether it is inside or outside. Foreigners cannot imagine we eat the food like snakes, dogs and even frogs. When we ll the meat from the animal and poultry, we normally ll it as a whole or cut it from the whole body. I know a woman American teacher didn't want to buy and eat pork when she first came to China becau she saw the meat cut from a certain part of the pig. In English, we know the animals and their meat are ud different words becau the words of the meat from animals originally come from French and they are ud by upper class while the words of animals are Anglo Saxon, which are ud by the farmer of lower class. So there are pig and pork, sheep and mutton and cattle and beef in English but it is not the ca in Chine.
Name of Dishes is Implicit in Chine Food
Very often it puzzles foreigners a lot that we ask and talk so much when we order our food in the restaurant. One reason is we ask what the food or the dish is and try to clarify it becau you sometimes never know what the food is just according the name of the food until it is put on your table in the restaurant just. Sometimes the food is very simple but the name is very obscure. For example one of the dishes is called "Ants Climbing the Trees." But the food is simple potato noodles
and bits of meat in it, while most of western food has a simple and clear name and you know what it is when you hear the name. For instance, there is a traditional food call "fish and chips" in the UK. You e it is very obvious it is fried fish and potato chips. The reason for this in China is on the one hand to try to tell you the way it cooks such as cook, fry, grill and broil in the name and on the other it has beautiful good names so that you have a good imagination and association to let you have a good appetite.
Too Much Food to Eat at meals
降价英文We Chine think it very disgraceful if we don't cook the food enough for the guests so we normally cook more food than guests eat. If you finish your food at meal, the host and hostess usually add more and more food in your dish or bowl without asking you whether you want it or not so as to show they are polite to the guests. They will keep saying, "eat more" and in English
元旦旅游
we have the expression "help yourlf". Westerners never force you to eat more. If you stop eating, they tend to think you are full. So sometime foreigners feel very helpless when the host and hostess to put more food in their dishes and bowls and they can do nothing but eat more and more until they are completely full. So some foreigners learn to know they always leave some food in their bowls or
椰梦长廊游玩攻略dishes in order to avoid more food to be added when are invited to dinner in Chine family. That is the differences in food culture between China and the West.
Tableware Is Simple in Chine Meals
寿字书法Generally speaking, we don't u much tableware when we have our meal in China. Mainly we have bowl, dishes, chopsticks and spoons, which we don't u very often. In rving English meals, they u so much tableware with different kinds and sizes. The Chine do not know how to u them properly when they are invited to dinner in English family. For example there are different kinds of names for glass in English, such as wine glass, cherry glass, brandy glass, beer glass, snifter glass, champion flute and high bowl. You can e tableware also show the food culture of different countries.
Food is Most Important in China
As the saying goes "food is the esntials to people" and "Man is iron and food is steel." You can e Chine think food it very important. One reason is China has big population so food is the first problem that faces us. Most of people are not well off now. That is why the government is very much concerned about the food problem, which we call it "vegetable basket projects." We first make peopl
e have enough food and then make them feed well. One the other food shows a kind of hospitality and sincerity. The more and better food you offer to your friends and relatives. The more generous and hospitable you are. In Chine mind, we say food is important becau we also u food as a way to solve problems. People often say no matter how poor a company is, it has the money to treat people guests becau they can solve many problems when they are talking and exchanging ideas with each other at meals. In the west countries, they don't normally talk about business at meals and also they think it is a waste of money and time if more food and very expensive food are ordered for dinner. But we Chine think it is an honor to treat quests in this way.
Chine food is well-known in the world and the Chine food culture is not all the same with that in the west countries. We cannot say it is right or wrong and it reflects the practice, custom and conventions of the peoples.
