Dietary customs

China and western countries have completely different styles of food. China has a history of 5000 years. We may spend half our time on food. People in China choose their food very carefully. They only use fresh materials to make food. For example, they only eat fresh fish. People in China have many ideas and skills about cooking. We can cook a chicken in more than ten ways. This is why Chinese food is so popular in the world. In western countries like Britain or America, they don't have fresh food because they buy food from supermarkets, which only sell stored materials. West Renye Fang prefers fast food such as hamburgers and French fries. They are harmful to human body. Westerners don't have many cooking skills. Most of them only cook, steam and bake food. By the way, westerners are good at making deserts and chocolates. They can make very good cakes and chocolates. They are sweet, but this kind of food will make you fat soon.

In China, if you invite others to dinner, the inviter will pay for the meal, but this is not the practice in western countries. In western countries, people will think that you just invited me, but you have no responsibility to pay for me. I can afford it. They won't be happy if you pay them. In China, people always put chopsticks on their guests' plates to show their enthusiasm, but they think it is unhealthy because your chopsticks have been used by you. In western countries like America, not Britain, people always tip waiters after eating in restaurants. If you don't do this, they will be unhappy, because tipping is one of their main incomes. In China, this only happens in some top restaurants and hotels in international cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. If you make a noise while eating, westerners will also think you are rude. Westerners will not lift their bowls even if they drink a bowl of soup.

There is a huge difference between China and West Renye Fang. People in China use chopsticks, while westerners use knives and forks. Usually people who use a knife and fork will hold the meat with a fork, cut it with a knife and help put the meat into the mouse's mouth with a fork. People in China just hold something with chopsticks and put it in your mouse.

People in China only eat three meals a day. But westerners will have more. They have afternoon tea. Usually they eat fruit, homemade cakes, tea (black tea) or cheese biscuits. If you are a housewife and have a lot of time, you can also have morning tea.

Generally speaking, I think Chinese food is much better than western food, not because I am from China. I think most people will agree with me. You can see Chinese food all over the world. This shows the success of Chinese food. Western food may be improved after a long time.
