Introduction: There are many countries in the world, and each country has its own food culture because of its geographical location, environment and climate. China's food culture has a very long history, some foreigners come to China will feel that the diet does not meet the taste, the same Chinese people to go abroad is also difficult to adapt to the local food situation, so what are the differences between Chinese and Western food culture?

Chinese food culture history is still very long, whether it is the north and south or various ethnic groups, there are local characteristics of the food culture. In the Chinese cooking methods are varied, frying, deep-frying, stir-frying, steaming, boiling, stewing and so on. In western countries, there are not as many cooking methods as in China, especially in stir-frying. Chinese people generally have a heavier taste in stir-frying and like to put chili peppers and all kinds of seasonings, but in western countries they attach more importance to the original flavor of food, so usually students studying abroad are not used to eating local food, and thus they buy their own food to make dishes. There is also news on the Internet that people studying abroad have been complained by their neighbors because cooking at home with too much fumes caused the smoke alarm to go off, thus attracting the police, and this oolong also makes people feel very ridiculous, but it is also because of this different food culture that this oolong is caused.

When eating Western food, all foreigners will use knives and forks, but in the Chinese table, chopsticks is the main tableware, and chopsticks in China's history is also very long, pairs of symbolism is also very good, it is not only the table everyone dining utensils, but also a historical and cultural deposits, these chopsticks are full of the wisdom of our ancestors. Therefore, if foreigners want to come to China to taste the food, they must first learn to use chopsticks, otherwise it will lack a lot of fun.

Western countries people eat when the taste is relatively light, remember "China's Chinese restaurant" this program, the guests to do the meal, for the Chinese is just very common, but for foreigners they will feel some spicy can not accept. This is also a good illustration of the fact that there is also a big difference between the tastes of Chinese and Westerners in terms of food.
