China's food culture is extensive and profound. Not only do we in China think Chinese food is delicious, but many people abroad also like it. Especially the United States, Britain, Germany and other western countries have a soft spot for Chinese food. According to statistics, there are 465,438+0,000 China restaurants in the United States alone, which is three times more than McDonald's in the United States. This shows how much foreigners like Chinese food.

First of all,/kloc-At the beginning of the 9th century, many China people who arrived in North America were Cantonese, and most of the restaurants they opened were Cantonese restaurants. In the 1990s, Cantonese cuisine dominated Chinatown in the United States. Today, Cantonese cuisine all over the world is as famous as French cuisine. Since the number of overseas Chinese in Guangdong accounts for 60% of the country, most Chinese restaurants around the world are Cantonese restaurants.

Secondly, Cantonese cuisine is very popular with foreign friends. Almost all Europeans and Americans can't accept salty and spicy tastes, especially spicy ones, and they will sweat after eating a little. Therefore, the popularity of salty and spicy cuisines such as Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine and Anhui cuisine in the world is far from that of Cantonese cuisine, which is mainly light and tender ingredients. To sum up, Cantonese cuisine can be popular all over the world, which is mainly related to the large number of overseas Chinese in Guangdong and their different tastes. But nothing is absolute. Now many foreign friends have begun to try other cuisines in China, and their comments are also very high.

Cantonese cuisine has the characteristics of Shunde, Nanhai, Panyu, Dongguan, Xiangshan, Siyi, Baoan and other local flavors, as well as the strengths of other provinces such as Beijing, Jiangsu, Huai and Hangzhou, as well as western food, which are integrated into one and become a family of their own. Cantonese cuisine is one in a hundred, with a wide range of materials, exotic materials and exquisite ingredients. Be good at innovation in imitation and cook according to diners' preferences.
