Chinese food: Most dishes are obviously salty and varied, and most dishes are eaten after they are fully mature.

Western food: There is little obvious salty taste in dishes, and the taste changes are relatively less than those in Chinese food, but the pursuit of fresh and tender dishes, such as steak, lamb chops and other dishes, many acquaintances like to eat medium-rare, and some seafood also like to eat raw. Furthermore, western food is very particular about making sauces, and there are many kinds. Almost all dishes are equipped with sauces to increase the taste of dishes.

Second, the difference between staple food

Chinese food: there is a clear concept of staple food and non-staple food, and the staple food includes rice, noodles and other products.

Western food: There is no clear concept of main food and non-staple food. Bread and other pasta and rice are often placed next to the plate as side dishes, and the dosage is also small.

Western etiquette

First, serve food

The order of serving is generally: bread, cold dishes, soup, main course, dessert, coffee or fruit. Cold dishes are appetizers. Soups include seafood soup and cream soup. The main courses are chicken, fish, beef, pork and so on. Finally, drinks or fruits.

Second, the use of knives and forks and spoons

The spoon is placed horizontally in front of the soup plate, and other knives and forks are placed on both sides of each dish, and the knives and forks should be used from the outside to the inside. Eat meat with a knife, hold the fork with your left hand and hold the dish, then cut it with your right hand, using the tip of the knife. The bones of the meat are placed in the right corner of the plate.

Third, eat with your hands.

Eat bread with butter, potato chips, fried meat slices, asparagus, etc.

Fourth, napkins

Don't open it until the hostess opens it. It's best to put it in your leg. Just to wipe your mouth. The napkins for dinner are bigger than those for breakfast. Put the meal on the table on the left.
