English food is characterized by less oil and light taste. Wine is rarely used for seasoning, and most seasonings are placed on the dining table for customers to choose. Standing condiments include vinegar, vegetable oil, mustard, tomato sauce, spicy soy sauce, salt, pepper and so on. Cooking methods are mostly burning, roasting, smoking, boiling, steaming, branding and so on.

American food is characterized by saltiness and sweetness. The cooking method is similar to that of English food, but roasted vegetables are more common. Americans are generally not interested in spicy dishes, and often burn fruits in dishes as ingredients, such as roast ham with pineapple, roast duck with apple and roast game with purple grapes. Snack salads are mostly fruit-based, and people generally like to drink various juices for breakfast.
