3, the core comparison Table - square table and round table The Chinese table is a round table (the new fast food and snacks department for the time being), the Western table is a square table. A round party, showing culture. Chinese people to restaurants to eat is an important social behavior. Generally a person to pay for the host, everyone together around a round table, talk about heaven and earth, easy to communicate, communication. Generally eat a few meals, drink a few times, is an important basis for measuring the depth of friendship. Round table, obviously, is the best way to communicate the best way to dine, for this sociable dining culture to add bricks and mortar. Western restaurant is also a social occasion, but focus on one-to-one communication. A square table width of about one meter, across the guests can reach. Conversation up to four eyes, sincere and dedicated. By the way, the Europeans always stare at each other's eyes when talking, never distracted. If you talk to each other while responding to other people next to you, or sideways to talk to others will be considered disrespectful. Square tables solve this problem. Cuisine: Share and **** enjoy Chinese food is the faster the better, a dish **** enjoy; Western food slowly one by one, one by one. Chinese food embodies a kind of Chinese idea of socializing: sharing blessings and difficulties together!
4, please note that bread is an indispensable staple of Westerners, but also has another function, which is to wipe the plate. Every Italian will use a slice of bread to wipe the grease from the bottom of the plate a little bit, and make sure to make the plate shine as if it had just been washed before giving up. Wine is served only to accompany the meal and is not usually mixed; one glass of red wine at a time is sufficient. A glass of red wine at a time is enough. After a collective toast or two, there is no more persuasion. Tipping, to pay or not to pay this question is also known to everyone. In the West, restaurants, cabs and hotel baggage handlers are tipped. This is not difficult to understand. In the West, service workers are respected, and where they can do it themselves and need help from others, it is necessary to make up for it in the form of tips. So, two occupations in Western countries are basically not: inserting shoes and scrubbers, and people on our continent basically do not tip!
Japanese cuisine:
Traditional Japanese cuisine is greatly influenced by Chinese cuisine, but still out of a very Japanese characteristics of the road. Japan is very particular about its food, and it is claimed that a significant percentage of TV programs and books are food-related. I think that because Japan, as an island nation, has more expensive ingredients, the Japanese tend to put in the effort to make high quality food. If you are given an Australian lobster, you may consider very carefully how to make it without wasting it, and you may make a main dish with complicated procedures and exquisite plating, but if you are given two eggs, you may casually fry them or make a scrambled egg with tomato. Imagine if eggs cost 200 yuan a catty and were sold by the dozen in the market, and you rarely ate a few a month, would you be more attentive when you made them?
Of course, there are reasons for the Japanese to be attentive in their cuisine, and there are also reasons for the Japanese's spirit of extreme deliberation. In any case, there is a general characteristic of Japanese cuisine that seeks the extreme to the point of being somewhat esoteric. For example, Kobe beef, to dozens of hundreds of times the cost to pursue the ultimate beef, or sushi God, to a lifetime to pursue the ultimate sushi, even cooking rice to spend very much effort to pursue the ultimate.
This is also related to the national character and social atmosphere, so the pursuit of excellence, if no one to appreciate, will not be able to persist, but fortunately, the Japanese society as a whole recognize this spirit, so there are countless Japanese chefs with a lifetime of energy to study a certain aspect of excellence. That's why Japan will be simple things - such as soy sauce ramen or barbecue - to achieve the ultimate, but also in all aspects of whether the appearance of taste and even environmental services to achieve the ultimate, to be able to hang on the Michelin stars, which in China is simply unimaginable.
