I have been listening to an old saying from my elders since I was a child: "Eat well in the morning, eat well at noon and eat less at night." Nowadays, dinner is mostly a party day. Most people choose to eat much better food than at noon. Different countries have different special foods.

Therefore, this issue of American food culture takes you to know what food Americans eat for dinner.

Americans attach great importance to dinner. Many friends' parties and business banquets are arranged in the evening, so dinner is generally rich. Americans attach great importance to the mood and artistic conception of eating dinner. The placement and appearance of food and tableware are very particular, but the taste is not so important.

In the United States, the most abundant thing in a day is dinner, which usually has several dishes: appetizer, fresh fruit, juice or a fish soup, salad, main course and dessert. Most Americans like sweets: cakes, tarts, biscuits and ice cream.

Usually a fruit juice or thick soup is served first, and then the main course. The main courses are steak, pork chop, roast beef, fried chicken, fried shrimp, ham and roast lamb chop. Vegetables, bread, butter, rice, noodles and so on are eaten with the main course. Europeans are used to eating a piece of fruit or cheese at the end, which is out of fashion in America. Most Americans like to eat desserts in restaurants, such as cakes, homemade pies or ice cream. Have another cup of coffee at last.

Because dinner is usually eaten earlier, it is the habit of most families to eat supper. Children often drink milk or eat cookies before going to bed, while adults eat fruit or candy. On weekends or holidays, many families only eat two meals.
