1. In the selection of materials, because most people in our country are less bound by religious taboos in diet, and people like to be curious in diet and pay attention to the scarcity of things, the selection of Chinese food is very extensive, and almost everything is eaten, including flying, diving, moving and growing.

2. In the processing of raw materials, chef China is very particular about knife work, and can process raw materials into tiny edges such as silk, diced, sliced and shredded.

3. In cooking, the round-bottomed pots and open stoves commonly used in Chinese cooking are very suitable for cooking, so there are many cooking methods for Chinese cooking.

4. In taste, most Chinese food has obvious salty taste, rich in variety, and most dishes are completely cooked before eating.

On the staple food, Chinese food has a clear concept of main and non-staple food, including rice, noodles and other products.

The word western food is determined by its specific geographical location. "West" means the West. Generally refers to European countries. "Rice" is a diet dish. What we usually call western food mainly includes dishes from western European countries, but it also includes dishes from eastern European countries, Mediterranean countries and some Latin American countries such as Mexico.

[Edit this paragraph] Talk about western food in detail.

For western food, people who are at the forefront of fashion should be familiar with it. Western food is an exotic product that is completely different from China's food culture. Many people have heard of and eaten western food, but I don't know if they know the origin of this complicated and exquisite thing.

Starting from this issue, this magazine will open a column of "Introduction to Western Food Culture" to introduce the long-standing western food culture to you in detail. ...

What is western food?

Western food is a general term for western food by people in China and other eastern countries and regions. In a broad sense, it can also be said to be the general name of western catering culture.

What we call "the West" customarily refers to European countries and regions, as well as the vast areas of North America, South America and Oceania where these countries and regions are the main immigrants, so western food mainly refers to the catering culture in these areas.

Westerners call China cuisine "Chinese food", Japanese food, Korean food and so on. They don't call them "oriental delicacies" in cages, but divide them carefully and name them according to country names.

In fact, the catering culture in western countries has its own characteristics, and the dishes in each country are different. For example, the French will think that they are cooking French food, while the British think that their cooking is British food. Westerners themselves have no clear concept of "western food", which is the concept of China and other orientals.

So why do we have such a concept? This is because when we first came into contact with western food, we still couldn't tell what Italian food, French food and British food were, and we could only have a general concept. At that time, people in China generally called it "Fancai", which means the West. The ancients in China often thought that China was the center of the world, and held derogatory meanings for other countries and regions, calling the East "Yi", the West "Fan", the North "Hu" and the South "Man". So the so-called "food" refers to western food.

In addition, as far as western countries are concerned, due to the geographical proximity of European countries, there have been many large ethnic migrations in history, and their cultures have already infiltrated and merged with each other, and there are many similarities between them. Furthermore, religious beliefs in western countries are mainly Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity and Protestantism (only a few people believe in Islam), which is the main branch of Christianity, so dietary taboos and dining customs are basically the same. As for South America, North America and Oceania, their cultures are also in the same strain as those of Europe. Therefore, regardless of whether westerners have a clear concept of "western food", China people and other orientals have the same view of this part of western food culture, but it is completely different from eastern food.

However, in recent decades, with the constant impact, infiltration and blending of eastern and western cultures, orientals gradually realized the different characteristics of various dishes in western food and began to treat them differently. Some high-end hotels have also opened French restaurants and Italian restaurants. As a universal concept, western food tends to disappear gradually, but the western food culture as a whole will continue to exist.

[Edit this paragraph] Six M's for western food.

After a long discussion and summary, scholars who study western food think that we should pay attention to the following six "M's" when eating western food.

The first is the "menu";

When you walk into a coffee shop or a western restaurant, the waiter will show you to your seat first. When you sit down, the menu will be brought first. The menu is regarded as the facade of the restaurant and the boss has always attached great importance to it. Use the best materials for the cover of the menu, and some even use soft sheepskin to make all kinds of beautiful patterns, which are particularly elegant and exquisite.

How to order good food? There is a little experience here, that is, after opening the menu, see which dish is named after the store name. Don't miss this dish. Because that restaurant doesn't joke about its reputation, the food they make great efforts to make is sure to be delicious. Everyone must order this "signature dish".

In addition, it should be noted that you should not treat the ordering problem of western food with the habit of eating Chinese food: that is, don't ignore the menu and let the waiter order for you. In France, even President Charles de Gaulle and President Destin have to look at the menu to order western food. Because looking at the menu and ordering food has become an essential procedure for eating western food, and it is an embodiment of an elegant lifestyle.

The second is "music";

Luxury and advanced western restaurants usually have bands playing some light music, and ordinary western restaurants also play some beautiful and elegant music. However, the most important thing here is the "audibility" of music, that is, the sound should reach the level of "seemingly hearing but not hearing", that is to say, you should concentrate on talking with your friends, but you can only hear it when you are resting and relaxing. You should master this temperature.

The third is "mood" (atmosphere);

Eating western food pays attention to elegant environment and harmonious atmosphere. There must be music accompaniment, tables and chairs must be neat and clean, and all tableware must be clean. At dinner, the lights should be dim and there should be red candles on the table to create a romantic, charming and elegant atmosphere.

The fourth is "meeting";

In other words, you have to choose who to eat western food with. It is best to eat western food with friends, relatives or like-minded people. Eating western food is mainly to connect feelings, and it is best not to talk about business at the western food table. Therefore, in western restaurants, the atmosphere is generally very warm, and there are few red-faced scenes.

The fifth is "demeanor" (etiquette);

Here refers to "eating" and "eating". Since you are eating western food, you should follow the western customs and don't do anything abrupt, especially dancing with a knife and fork in your hand, which will be "rude".

Be sure to get the knife and fork right: take the knife in your right hand and the fork in your left hand. Cut the food into small pieces with a knife, and then fork it into the mouth. Generally speaking, Europeans do not change hands when using knives and forks, and always use the fork of their left hand to put food into their mouths. Americans put down the knife after cutting, and put the food into their mouths with a fork in their right hand. But at any time, the knife must not be sent to the entrance. At western banquets, the host will arrange for men and women to sit next to each other, and western gentlemen who pay attention to "ladies first" will show hospitality to ladies.

The sixth is "food"

An American gourmet once said: "Japanese people eat with their eyes, and the cooking form is beautiful;" We eat western food with our noses, so our noses are very big. Only you great China people know how to eat with your tongue. "Chinese food takes" taste "as the core, while western food takes nutrition as the core. As for taste, it can't compare with Chinese food.

[Edit this paragraph] Western etiquette

1. When sitting, keep your body straight, don't put your elbows on the table, and don't cross your feet. The distance from the table is better, which is convenient for using tableware. Don't fiddle with the tableware on the dining table. Fold the napkin in half and gently put it on your knee.

2. When eating with a knife and fork, take the knife and fork from outside to inside, with a fork in your left hand and a knife in your right hand; When cutting things, hold the fork in your left hand to hold the food, cut the food into small pieces with a knife in your right hand, and send it to your mouth with a fork. When using a knife, the blade should not be outward. When eating, put down the knife and fork in a figure of eight and put them on the edge of the plate respectively. The blade is pointed at yourself, indicating that you will continue to eat. After eating each dish, put the knife and fork together on the plate. If you are talking, you can hold the knife and fork. When you don't use a knife, you can hold a fork in your right hand, but if you need to gesture, you should put down your knife and fork, never wave it in the air with your hands, never wipe your mouth with a napkin in one hand, and never hold a glass with a fork in the other. Remember, never put one end of the knife and fork on the plate and the other end on the table.

Don't sip soup, but shut up and chew when eating. Don't lick your lips or smack your lips. If the soup is overheated, don't eat it until it is slightly cold. Don't blow it with your mouth. When you drink soup, scoop it out with a spoon. When the soup in the soup plate is almost finished, tilt the outside of the soup plate slightly with your left hand and scoop it out with a spoon. After eating the soup, leave the spoon in the soup plate (bowl) and aim the spoon at yourself.

4. When eating fish, meat and other dishes with thorns or bones, don't spit them out directly. You can spit it gently on the fork with a napkin and put it on the plate. If there is a small amount of food left on the plate, don't scrape the bottom of the plate with a fork, let alone help you eat with your fingers, but help you eat with a small piece of bread or fork. When eating noodles, roll them up with a fork and send them to your mouth.

Bread is usually broken into small pieces and sent to the mouth. Don't bite the whole piece of bread. When spreading butter and jam, break the bread into small pieces before spreading it.

6. When eating chicken, most Europeans and Americans regard chicken breast as the most expensive. When eating chicken legs, you should first remove the bones by force, not by hand. When eating fish, don't turn it over. After eating the upper layer, remove the fishbone with a knife and fork, and then eat the meat of the lower layer. When eating meat, cut a piece and eat a piece. Don't cut the pieces too big, or cut all the meat into pieces at once.

7. If you want to add milk or sugar to your coffee, stir it evenly with a small spoon and put it on the saucer of the coffee. When drinking, hold the cup handle in your right hand, put the saucer in your left hand, and drink directly with your mouth, not with a spoon. Don't bite the whole fruit when eating it. Cut it into four pieces with a fruit knife, and then remove the skin and core with a knife and fork.

8. When eating meat with bones with a knife and fork, you can eat it with your hands. If you want to eat more elegantly, you'd better use a knife. Fix the whole meat with a fork (you can stand the fork upright and press the meat with the back of the fork), then insert a knife along the bone and cut the meat. It is best to eat while cutting. When you have to eat with your hands, hand washing water will be attached. When hand washing water is served with meat with bones, it means "Please eat with your hands". After eating with your fingers, wash your fingers in a bowl filled with hand washing water. When eating ordinary dishes, if your fingers are dirty, you can also ask the waiter to bring hand washing water, and pay attention to washing your hands gently.

9. It is polite for a chef to soak bread in the sauce until there is no sauce left. Be careful not to "lick" the bread plate clean, but fork the bread that has been torn into small pieces and dip it in a little sauce. This is an elegant practice.

Pay attention to seats

The most suitable sitting position is to sit from the left. When the chair is opened, the body will stand up straight at a distance that almost touches the table. The leader pushes the chair in, and the legs bend and touch the chair behind, so you can sit down. When eating, your upper arms and back should lean on the back of the chair, and your abdomen should keep a fist distance from the table. It is best to avoid sitting with your feet crossed.

French people have delicate feelings and romantic thoughts. Therefore, French catering is very particular.

French food culture is very long. Since Louis XIV, France's food diplomacy has been famous all over the world. In the heyday of the French banquet, 200 dishes could be served at a time. French favorite dishes are snails and frog legs, favorite dishes are cheese, the most expensive dishes are foie gras, and home cooking is fried steak with shredded potatoes. In addition, the French are the world's drinking champions, especially drinking wine.

France is one of the three cooking kingdoms in the world. The French pay attention to diet and are willing to spend money. French people don't like fish without scales, and they don't like spicy dishes. They generally like to eat delicious food that is a little raw and fresh. French people are generally happy to drink raw water (tap water) and are not used to drinking boiled water.

World-famous French cuisine, with its exquisite and luxurious taste, has swept the stomachs of diners all over the world. The French regard "eating" as a great pleasure in life. They think that food is not only a kind of enjoyment, but also an art. In the16th century, the French court had a set of exquisite food culture. After the French Revolution, with the court chefs living in the market, court cuisine began to take root among the people.

French cuisine attaches great importance to the use of "ingredients", and inferior materials can't make good dishes is a famous saying of French cuisine. However, the characteristics of French cuisine based on local materials make the tastes of the north and the south different, so "where to eat and what to eat in the season" is very important!

Sauce is the essence of French cuisine. Because of the importance attached to ingredients, the French use sauces to flavor without destroying the original flavor of ingredients. Good sauce can improve the flavor and taste of food itself, so how to prepare the best sauce depends on the chef's skill! In addition, French cuisine is also regarded as the most expressive cuisine of the chef, and every dish is the artistic creation of the chef.

Characteristics of French diet

Pay more attention to dinner. Love to drink wine, milk, black tea, etc. Go to a restaurant for coffee, fruit and ice cream. I like to eat beef and mutton, chicken, fish, shrimp, eggs and all kinds of sausages. I like all kinds of vegetables. I like to drink clear soup and eat fruit (especially pineapple).

When eating and drinking in a regular French restaurant, the collocation of tableware and wine utensils is meticulous. What kind of food to eat and what kind of knife and fork to use are very well studied, so everyone chooses two or three sets in front of them. The same is true for wine glasses, because the collocation of food and drink is an art here. It is customary to drink an aperitif before meals; During the meal, if you eat meat, you should match it with dry red wine; Eat seafood such as fish and shrimp and drink dry white wine; Some people also like to drink a little brandy and other spirits after meals. Use different glasses for each wine. Looking at the tall, thin glasses in front of you, is it really a drink? But the good thing is that I don't pay attention to deep feelings here. I'm bored. I let everyone talk while eating. Wine only plays the role of entertainment and atmosphere adjustment, but they raise their glasses frequently, but they all drink lightly enough. Keep a pleasant atmosphere at the table, but don't make too much noise.

French eating habits have the following characteristics:

1, pay attention to cooking temperature, pay attention to the freshness of dishes and emphasize the quality of dishes.

2, taste: generally like fat, thick, fresh and tender, prefer sour, sweet and salty.

3, food: the staple food is rice or flour, love to eat snacks; Non-staple food likes to eat tender pork, mutton and beef, fish, shrimp, chicken, eggs, sausage and fresh vegetables, and occasionally likes to taste some novel foods, such as snails, earthworms and Malan. I like to use clove, pepper, coriander, garlic and tomato juice as seasoning.

4. Method of making: Preference is given to dishes made by cooking methods such as frying, frying, roasting, roasting and frying.

5. Recipe: I appreciate braised mandarin fish, Kung Pao diced meat, crispy fried chicken, fried shrimp balls, shredded chicken with silver buds, pineapple turkey, shredded apple and other flavor dishes.

6, water wine: wine hobbies, especially wine, rose wine, champagne and so on. Generally, people who don't drink or can't drink often drink beer; Usually their usual drinks are mineral water, soda water, orange juice and black tea or coffee.

7. Fruit: French people like fruits, especially pineapples. Apples, grapes and kiwis are also their favorite varieties: dried fruits such as raisins and sugar-fried chestnuts.

"The French will spend an hour tasting aperitif with some olives and biscuits before meals. When they really sit down to eat, they won't feel so hungry. " In addition, they had to pause countless times between meals. The relaxed and pleasant atmosphere during meals, as well as their taste and praise for food, all help them to relax and exercise.

French girls eat very little. The typical croissant baked in France weighs slightly more than 30 grams, while the croissant baked in the United States weighs nearly 60 grams. In other words, French girls are used to eating a small amount of food in their stomachs.

French women are very enthusiastic about dinner. Generally, they consume 60% of the total calories in a day before two o'clock in the afternoon, and then they have a simple dinner. In China, people often go hungry all day, but at dinner, they eat well and are full. Because the French are very satisfied with their lunch, they don't need to eat snacks at any time, which also helps to control their weight.

The French pay no less attention to food than China. They often talk about how good they eat in which restaurant and what new restaurant is opened in which street. They have to eat once. They are also very open in the culture of accepting food. As long as it is delicious, Italian, Spanish, North African and China, they will accept it. But when it comes to French food, it is definitely "I belong to it". Only when you are with China people will you show a little humility and say, "Chinese food in our French cuisine is the two most famous diets in the world". Look, you want to be on an equal footing with Chinese food.

The French not only pay attention to the content of food, but also pay attention to the environment and taste of food.

Besides dogs and cats, there are many kinds of meat, such as snails, frog legs, horse meat and general traditional meat. Not to mention seafood: oysters, lobsters, crayfish, spider crabs, all kinds of seashells; Fish are mainly marine fish. The most popular fish are sea bream, wolf fish, sole fish, turbot and some fish whose names cannot be translated. Eating smoked salmon is one of Christmas traditions. People who can hunt also pay attention to eating snipe. Sniper is a kind of bird, but it is covered with meat and its meat is extremely fresh and tender.

Meat is mostly stewed, roasted and fried. Generally speaking, they don't have the concept of "frying", just a prelude to cooking. Therefore, French food can be prepared in advance, unlike Chinese food, which is always cooked at the last minute and kept fresh and tender. The condiments they use are basically some "grass", such as shallots, thyme, coriander and laurel. Just as Chinese food is not only seasoned with soy sauce and vinegar, French food also has many seasonings, such as butter, milk, cream and eggs. It can also be made into various flavors, depending on how to choose and how to operate. The most representative way to eat steak is frying, which is divided into three States. The first kind is not ripe, only for a few seconds, and it is still bloody after cutting. Some people will eat, and China people will be afraid; Second, it was bloody and exploded for more than ten seconds; The third kind is basically mature. Choose the desired state according to everyone's taste when eating.

French people never eat as much green vegetables as China people, and most of them are eaten raw. Everything else is western food: big and tasteless, just adapted to the French way of eating. People gradually use some exotic condiments, such as curry and ginger. The French believe that ginger has an aphrodisiac effect, so it is very easy to accept. In addition, Chinese cabbage and bean sprouts have also become popular. Their approach to vegetables is just the opposite of Chinese food, and there is no intermediate state: eat them raw or cooked. There are all kinds of lettuce, sweet carrots, tomatoes and cucumbers eaten raw. Like boiled, there are spinach puree or smoldering all kinds of vegetables, even lentils are boiled soft.

Candies are even more varied. You should buy everything that makes your mouth water and try it. The condiments for making candy are nothing more than butter, cream, milk, flour, eggs and sugar. If you add all kinds of fruits or chocolates or herbs, you will make different styles of cakes. Some fans mostly make their own snacks at home, which is no worse or even better than what they buy outside.

Pay attention to the atmosphere and decoration of the living room when eating. The host must carefully decorate the living room in advance, insert flowers, put soft lights at night, spread hot tablecloths and cloth napkins on the big dining table, and then put exquisite porcelain tableware. The best porcelain is limoges. White fine porcelain is decorated with delicate patterns and the color is just right. A cultured person should put a silver knife and fork and a crystal cup. Wine glasses vary from one to three according to the situation of each family. Generally, there are two, including wine glasses and water cups, and three are considered for red liquor. In case of important occasions, champagne should be opened after dinner, and another glass is needed. By the way, French champagne is sparkling white wine produced in the champagne area, which is different from small champagne in China. When invited by the French, don't think that "some champagne is enough", because this kind of wine is really not casually drunk.

Watch the tableware. People who have seen the movie Titanic must have gained something. At first glance, they were really shocked: there were three or four pairs of knives and forks on both sides of the plate, and there were three cups of different sizes. That's the most exquisite one. Usually one or two knives and forks are enough. If eating seafood is lively and all kinds of tools are available, you will feel sorry for them if you don't do it for a long time. The general rule is to start with the outermost knife and fork when serving, take it back when using it, and it will be easy to handle later. Large cups are used for drinking water, while others are used for holding red wine and white wine. The big spoon is only used for drinking soup or public places; Small spoons can be divided into candy and coffee, the latter is one size smaller than the former. If you eat at home, you can wash the pots, bowls, cups and spoons after such a meal. Fortunately, someone invented the dishwasher.

The procedure of eating is: drink aperitif first, mainly alcohol with high alcohol concentration, and eat some small salty biscuits at the same time, which is equivalent to adapting the stomach. Then all the people are served. The first course is usually cold dish, hot cake or seafood, and the plate is medium and shallow. If the first course is soup, you must use a deep plate and a big spoon. No matter what you eat, this first plate must be removed. The next main course is served in a shallow dish, including at least two hot dishes, one meat and one vegetable, and sometimes rice or noodles are also served as side dishes. The staple food is always French bread. After all the people put the food on their plates, the hostess picked up the knife and fork and said "Have a good appetite" before the guests could start. Sometimes guests don't know the rules, so it's ok to strike first. At this time, the hostess immediately quietly picked up the knife and fork, so as not to appear impolite to the guests. After the hot dish is over, cheese is occasionally mixed with lettuce, then put on a small shallow plate, and then add coffee or tea for dessert. Finally, sometimes the host suggests drinking digestive wine, whose alcohol concentration is a little higher than that of aperitif. Foreigners often ignore the French people's attention to wine and pour aperitif for guests when eating; Or someone fills a cup like a temptation job in China, and then drinks it and drinks it off; Even regardless of the host and guest, I got up and poured the wine myself. In this case, the French are generally more tolerant. Anyone who has been to China knows a little about the behavior of China people. They would joke: "When we were in China, we all did what they used to do;" In France, we still have to follow them. "But there is no blame at all.

Most French people are good at cooking, especially when there are guests at home, both husband and wife show their abilities. Generally speaking, after the guests arrive, the wife is responsible for greeting and the husband is responsible for drinks. When necessary, they cook and serve at the same time. In such an atmosphere, whatever you eat will give you a warm feeling. Not to mention the delicious food carefully cooked by the host. If you eat in a restaurant, then all kinds of dishes are not only delicious, but chefs can also spell out various patterns and styles with various food colors, which is not something that ordinary families can do.

The most unacceptable thing for French tourists to eat French food is the alternation of hot and cold and the addition of sweet and salty: first, cold dishes (salty); Second, hot dishes (salty); Third, sweets (cold); Finally, coffee or tea (hot with sugar), not only that, but also drink alcohol and cold water when eating. How to endure after eating, only you know. But the French have never been uncomfortable, so it is not convenient to complain in a big way.

Different from Chinese food, French cuisine has several major cuisines, but there are traditional representative dishes everywhere, such as duck and foie gras in Dordogne, sauerkraut sausage in Alsace, black-faced stew and pancakes in Brittany, cattle and sheep in Normandy, fish soup in Provence and so on. Modern new French cuisine pays more attention to the exquisite taste and display style, which makes people's taste and vision enjoy beauty.

The formal order of serving a full set of western food is: 1 appetizer and soup 2 fish 3 fruit 4 meat 5 cheese 6 dessert and coffee 7 fruit, as well as aperitif and table wine. There's no need to order them all. It's impolite to order too much and not finish it. A slightly standard restaurant welcomes guests who only order appetizers. Appetizers, main courses (fish or meat) and desserts are the most suitable combinations. Ordering is not an appetizer, but a favorite main course, and then a soup suitable for the main course.

Chinese food is easy to learn, Chinese food is easy to find a job, and the average salary is about 34 thousand. The Western Chef needs a grade certificate, depending on how you did in the exam (1 hour, adopt me! )
