The food in China can be said to have conquered a lot of foreigners, but we may have never heard of their favorite China food, which makes people wonder that they may be in love with "fake Chinese food". The two most famous dishes that foreigners like and China people are confused about should be Zuo Zongtang chicken and Li Hongzhang chop suey. Foreigners are the people of the whole earth except China people. Of course, you will encounter any situation, like it or not. Most Americans really like sweet and fried food. When I was working in an American Chinese restaurant, many people ordered Zuo Zongtang chicken (a large piece of chicken breast fried with sauce) and Orange Chicken. ! In fact, these two dishes that forced the appearance of historical celebrities were just gimmicks. Zuo Zongtang's chicken was originally named by a Hunan chef, and was sent to the United States by him in the 197s, and became famous because of the love of US Secretary of State Kissinger. It is actually fried chicken leg meat and then fried to a sweet and sour taste. Perhaps foreigners have no resistance to this kind of sour and sweet food. Now it is almost a must for them to go to a Chinese restaurant. In fact, whether foreigners can accept Chinese food (my experience is Sichuan food) depends on personal experience (some people travel all over the world, have a cheerful personality and like to try all kinds of new things), family background (such as parents or relatives who have contact with China and have been exposed to orthodox China food and culture themselves), ethnic culture (whether there are similarities and overlaps between their own eating habits and Chinese food, such as Sichuan food, etc.), which is difficult to sum up in one word. However, I want to say that it is really a very efficient move to draw the feelings between people of all countries with delicious food!

The origin of Li Hongzhang chop suey is even earlier. This dish was on the menu of Chinese restaurants in 1879. It is said that Li Hongzhang was widely concerned when he went to the United States that year, and the restaurant forcibly rubbed the "heat" and crowned this shredded pork with Li Hongzhang's name. Since then, it has become a signature dish of early Chinese restaurants. Food is a very personal thing, and in my example, people who accept Chinese food and those who don't accept Chinese food are mixed. Some parents don't get too excited, because foreigners don't like it = because they haven't tasted authentic food/because they haven't tasted other cuisines!

Nowadays, these two westernized Chinese foods can't satisfy the appetite of foreigners. In order to attract foreign diners, foreign Chinese restaurants first started with signboards. A reporter from Washington post extracted the names of 4, Chinese restaurants and made a word frequency analysis chart. A foreign woman who married a man in China had this experience: "The first time they ate Chinese food in China was on the train from Shanghai to Ningbo. They ate a box lunch. After eating, my father asked me a very serious question: how many stars is this carriage restaurant? My husband makes steamed eggs for mom and dad at home to make them happy. He put shrimp and medlar in it. Mom asked me a serious question after eating: why didn't he tell me he was a chef? " This really shows that our Chinese food is really delicious! First, there must be the iconic word china restaurant in the name. Secondly, there must be an animal that represents us, such as panda, dragon, or the word wok with Cantonese pronunciation. Maybe the word wok looks delicious? The most popular signboard colors are gold and red. It seems that the credibility of these two colors in their hearts is very high. In order to make Chinese food more in line with the dining habits of foreign diners, there is another point to be sorted. First the starter, then the main course, and finally a dessert. The first dish of Chinese food abroad contains several dishes that we have hardly heard of in China. First, fried crab wonton, which contains thick cream and cheese, tastes sweet and salty. There are ordinary foreigners and foreigners who know the real Chinese food in China. In Argentina, "Chinese food" basically only includes the following three dishes: fried rice, fried noodles and oil cakes! It's a pity that they don't know how much real Chinese food tastes better than these!

Many Americans think that this is discrimination against Chinese food and it is easy to offend people. However, this poem does show that Chinese food has developed very rapidly overseas in recent years, and it has gradually become an indispensable part of foreigners' lives. Although ..... the dishes are a little exotic, they are also very happy! Therefore, the famous Chinese food chain in foreign countries won't enter the China market. If foreigners know that the Chinese food they have eaten all their lives is not Chinese food, they must smash the signboards of these stores!
