The differences between Chinese and Western food culture are mainly in the following aspects. According to the information given in [1] and [2], they are as follows:

Dietary tastes: there is a significant difference between Chinese and Western tastes. For example, Chinese cuisine prefers to prepare dishes with seasonings such as candied and soy sauce, while Western cuisine is lighter and usually prefers to use seasonings from various herbs, with more emphasis on the use of olive oil.

Banquet etiquette: There is a big difference between Chinese and Western banquet etiquette. Chinese people like to drink freely at banquets, which are called "wine banquets". In the West, they pay more attention to dining etiquette, such as having to line up first, using knives and forks, and exchanging cutlery in front of each other several times.

Ingredients: The choice of ingredients is also different between Chinese and Western countries. For example, Chinese diets will use ingredients such as beans and rice, while Western diets focus on vegetables, fruits and meat.

Restaurant environment: There is also a huge difference between Chinese and Western restaurant environments. Chinese restaurants are usually designed to be full of traditional Chinese cultural characteristics, while Western food is designed to provide quality service in an upscale and cozy decorative style.

In summary, the differences between Chinese and Western food cultures are mainly reflected in the dietary tastes, banquet etiquette, choice of ingredients and restaurant environment.
