western food pinyin x and cā n; English name of western food Western cuisine；; Western food is a general term for western-style catering, and in a broad sense, it can also be said to be a general term for western catering culture. [1]

Traditionally, "western" refers to European countries and regions, as well as the vast areas of North America, South America and Oceania where these countries and regions are the main immigrants, so western food mainly refers to the catering culture of the above areas. [2]

Westerners call China's dishes "Chinese food", Japanese dishes, Korean dishes and so on. They don't call them "Oriental dishes" in a cage, but divide them carefully and name them according to their country names. [2]

In fact, the catering culture in western countries has its own characteristics, and the dishes in each country are also different. For example, the French will think that they are cooking French food, while the British think that their dishes are British food. Westerners themselves do not have a clear concept of "western food", which is the concept of China and other orientals. [1]

This is because China people and other orientals can't tell what Italian food is, what French food is and what British food is when they first come into contact with western food, and they can only have a general concept. At that time, people in China generally called it "Fancai", which means western food. The ancients in China often thought that China was the center of the world, and they used to take a derogatory view of other countries and regions, calling the East "Yi", the West "Fan", the North "Hu" and the South "Man". Therefore, the so-called "Fancai" refers to western food. [2]

In addition, as far as western countries are concerned, because the geographical location of European countries is relatively close, and there have been many great ethnic migrations in history, their cultures have already infiltrated and merged with each other, and they have many similarities with each other. Furthermore, the religious beliefs in western countries are mainly Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity and Protestantism (only a few people believe in Islam), which are the main branches of Christianity, so the dietary taboos and dining customs are basically the same. As for South, North America and Oceania, their cultures are also in the same strain as those of Europe. Therefore, regardless of whether westerners have a clear concept of "western food", people in China and other orientals are generally the same in this part, but they are totally different from eastern food. [1]

However, in recent years, with the constant collision, infiltration and blending of eastern and western cultures, people in the East have gradually realized the different characteristics of various dishes in western food and started to treat them differently. Some high-end hotels have also set up French restaurants and Italian restaurants, etc. As a general concept, western food tends to fade away, but western food culture as a whole will continue to exist.
