When going to a country with a completely different cultural background from ours, the hardest thing should be our mouths. Different food cultures lead to completely different meals, which makes it difficult for us to get used to. Let's take a look at how to eat in America.

There are fast food and dinner in the United States. In the United States, the main feature is fast food, such as hamburgers and fried chicken. In addition, there are many fast food restaurants selling pizza and sandwiches. However, formal banquets or dinners are usually held in more formal restaurants, but such restaurants will charge a tip of about 2%.

Ordinary American breakfast is relatively simple. The most common breakfast is milk cereal. Before that, there will be coffee, milk, omelets, donuts, salads and toast. Lunch for office workers is mostly fast food-hamburgers, sandwiches, etc. Students are in the school canteen, including: vegetable salad, fruit, milk, fried chicken, rice, pizza and so on. Family dinner is generally more formal: traditional curry, steak, vegetables, pasta, pizza, all kinds of meat, potatoes, salads, fruits and so on. There are also some precautions when eating, such as: male and female hosts sit down first, religious families pray before meals, and take turns to pass food or tableware. When the knife and fork are suspended from use, they should be placed with the knife edge facing inward and the fork back facing upward.

This kind of food culture is mainly influenced by two factors: local geographical factors and pluralistic humanistic factors. The former is mainly because the food produced in different regions is different, and the eating habits are different, "relying on mountains to eat and rely on water to draft"; The latter, because of the large number of immigrants in the United States, have established their families and taken root, making the United States a melting pot of the world's races. Therefore, the formation of American food dishes also comes from this "melting pot".

China and the United States have different regions and cultures, so their diets are naturally quite different. I specially made a table for you to compare:

Tasting delicious food is the most enjoyable moment. If you go to the United States, do you know where to find the most local delicacies? Here are 1 most distinctive food cities in the United States, so that you can enjoy food in the United States.

Since there are many fast food restaurants in the United States, the teacher will introduce some well-known fast food restaurants: Burger King, a large chain fast food company in the world, is spread all over the United States; SUBWAY, founded by founders Fred and Peter in Connecticut in 1965, is famous for making 12-inch and 6-inch sandwiches, and it is the fastest expanding chain store in the world. Wendy's, the Wendy's international fast food chain, is named after the daughter of the person who founded Wendy's, and it is the third largest fast food chain in the United States. PandaExpress, headquartered in Rousimi City, Los Angeles County, California, as the largest Chinese food chain in the United States, has opened more than 8 branches in nearly 4 states, mainly operating in shopping malls, supermarkets and commercial streets. Tacobell, the world's largest chain restaurant brand offering Mexican food, belongs to Yum Global Restaurant Group.

after arriving in the United States, how can we find and judge the delicious restaurants except visually observing the restaurants within two legs' walking distance? Below, I will summarize several diet apps commonly used in the United States for you. I hope everyone can eat delicious food and have a good health. Yelp is similar to domestic public comments, providing information about restaurants, shopping, gas stations, hotels and other businesses near the user's location. Open Table, a website app dedicated to restaurant reservation, also provides restaurant evaluation and scoring. Nowait is equivalent to the delicious food in China. You don't have to wait. Popular restaurants can queue up at home to get the number. Groupon, a major group buying website in the United States, provides all kinds of group buying, including food. In addition, high-quality take-away ordering websites such as Grubhub, Orderup, Doordash and Eatstreet can also get to know in advance.

Of course, some diligent students choose to cook by themselves. Here, the teacher also gives you some suggestions: the meat in the supermarket is processed and mainly divided into chicken, pork and beef; Chicken is generally sold whole, but the inside should be processed. For vegetables, lettuce and broccoli are everywhere in the United States. White cauliflower, Shanghai green and scallion are bought in supermarkets. Onions are sold in small transparent boxes, and there are similar spices such as fennel. Oil, soy sauce and sea salt are all available, but you have to go to China Supermarket (China Supermarket has everything) for cooking wine and chicken essence. Be sure to turn on the range hood when cooking! ! Otherwise, you will regret it when you trigger the smoke alarm.
