Food Culture
With the development of economic level more and more people are strict on food’s quality. So the food culture gradually becomes popular in our daily life. In the modern time many people begin to taste different food from other countries with strong curiosity but the person who knows the different food culture is not a lot.
Now I will make some explanations about the different food culture in China and the West.
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 the US. In the US 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.
1. Greeting by Asking Your Meal in China

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.
2. Everything is eatable in China
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. 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

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 is 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.

3. Name of Dishes is Implicit in Chine
遗祸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 ve
ry 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.
4. Too Much Food to Eat at meals
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 we have the expression help yourlf. Americans 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 dishes in order to 美国留学生推荐信的要求
