1, Westerners emphasize science and nutrition in diet, and the whole cooking process is carried out in strict accordance with scientific norms and cooking is standardized, so the chef's work becomes an extremely monotonous mechanical work.
Furthermore, the purpose of westerners' eating is to absorb nutrition. As long as the nutrition is up to standard, everything else can be tolerated. Therefore, today's potato steak, tomorrow's steak potato, the chef repeats the mechanical work every day, and has no demanding and extremely tolerant attitude towards the diners. Of course it's not interesting.
3. Western cooking methods are not as complicated and changeable as those in China. Western food is three-dimensional and edible, and most of all foods can be eaten. Ornaments are the side dishes of the main course.
4. The raw materials of western food should be fresh, pollution-free, natural and natural in the operation process, and give full play to its original flavor. Don't use too much dry goods. Milk is an indispensable raw material in western food. Suppliers further standardize raw materials according to their characteristics, and chefs no longer judge and decide which raw materials to use simply based on their own experience.
The way of eating, that is, how to eat, is obviously different between China and the West. In China, whether it is a family dinner or a formal banquet, people sit around and enjoy their seats. Dietary style is an important tradition of China's dietetic culture. In the process of eating, China people don't need others to distribute food in advance, but take what they need. The amount of food eaten by diners or the proportion of food eaten by each person to the total food is uncertain.
Westerners are used to eating separately, and there is a special person to distribute food first, which is a ration for one person. At western banquets, although people sit together, their food is served separately. You don't have to have a fixed seat, you can walk around freely, which can not only fully satisfy your personal preferences for food, but also facilitate social interaction and emotional and information exchange between individuals, and you don't have to make all activities public at the dinner table. This way of eating fully reflects Westerners' respect for human nature and self, and emphasizes individual independence.
6. The differences between Chinese and western food cultures are also reflected in dining utensils. The tableware in China is mainly chopsticks, supplemented by spoons, and there are cups, plates, bowls and saucers of various shapes. China pays attention to the coordination of the shape, size and color of tableware and dishes, and pays attention to "beauty".
Westerners use metal knives and forks and all kinds of cups, plates, cups and saucers. However, western food doesn't emphasize the artistic beauty of dish loading and dish dividing like China people, and the types of tableware and the shapes of dishes are monotonous. In short, Westerners pay attention to the content of food, while China people emphasize the form of dishes and the feelings gained from them.
With the improvement of the quality of life, the tableware in China is emerging with a new look of "specialization, diversification and combination", which adds new ideas and interests to daily family dining. The west has also begun to pay attention to the design of tableware, and various styles of tableware have appeared on the market. These tableware usually have colors and patterns, and appear in various styles, which are decorative and interesting. They are sold as gifts.
