Find English menus of Chinese food and drinks.

There is a proverb that says: We eat to live, and live not to eat. It means: We eat to live, not live to eat. Like China, Britain and the United States are used to having three meals a day. The time of breakfast varies from person to person, usually from 7: 30 to 8: 30 in the morning, from12: 00 to 2: 00 for lunch and from 7: 00 to 9: 00 for dinner. Americans don't have the habit of having afternoon tea at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, while British people have afternoon tea at four or five o'clock in the afternoon. Sometimes, in addition to drinking coffee or hot tea, some cakes are added. Cookies and things like that.

For breakfast, we usually eat fruit or juice first, then porridge or milk cereal flakes, then some eggs, ham, bacon and sometimes toast. Lunch is relatively simple. Generally, people who go to work don't go home for lunch, some take two sandwiches prepared at home, and some go to fast food restaurants or restaurants for a simple meal. Dinner is the most important meal of the day. The so-called dinner usually refers to a carefully cooked meal on Sunday, birthday or special day. Most families change clothes before dinner. The dishes for dinner vary from occasion to occasion. The order of a complete dinner is roughly as follows:

Appetizer: drink, wine or fruit.

Second, soup: sometimes add butter and bread when drinking soup.

Main course: fish, meat and vegetables, as well as potatoes and rice. One main course is enough for ordinary people, but a banquet is only three or four dishes at most. This is completely different from the fact that people in China spend a lot of time preparing many meals.

Fourth, after-dinner food: including snacks, fruits, ice cream, etc.

Fifth, the last course is coffee. Some countries, such as Britain, eat some biscuits and cheese before drinking coffee.

There are many differences between British and American diets and China diets. They like to eat lettuce, even meat and fish are eaten raw. There is often blood in meat. This may be related to their belief that overcooked food will destroy its nutrients. They drink raw water instead of hot water. Their tap water is absolutely clean. When you receive an invitation to dinner in an English-speaking country, if you can't attend without answering in time, it means that you accept it gladly, so you should arrive at the banquet place on time according to the time and place on the invitation. When you sit down, you should sit down according to the name on the dining chair. To be polite, women should be given priority. Whether you know them or not, men should open chairs for women. Each seat has a plate with three knives and forks, spoons, two wine glasses, a napkin and a water glass. When the host/hostess is seated, it means that guests can only eat and eat at the beginning of the banquet. When serving, waiters usually wait for the guests to finish a dish before serving. All the dishes are put into the guest's plate from the left, and every time a dish is served, the empty plate should be taken away. When eating this dish, wait until everyone on the table is here, then move the knife, fork and spoon. If you don't want to eat or can't finish a dish, you can put the tableware together and the waiter will take it away for you. Pay attention to using a spoon when drinking soup, and it is best not to make a sound. If the soup is still hot, don't blow it. Wait until it cools naturally. At the end of the banquet, you should politely say goodbye to the host, the host's friends and other people you are talking to. The next day, you should find a suitable opportunity to thank the host for his kind invitation and leave the impression that you are satisfied and happy.
