One, the difference in taste

Chinese food: most of the dishes have obvious salty flavor, and rich in change, most of the dishes are fully ripe after eating.

Western food: dishes are rarely obvious salty, taste changes are relatively no more Chinese food, but the pursuit of dishes tender effect, such as steak, lamb chops and other dishes more mature people like to eat five ripe, some seafood also like to eat raw. Again, Western food is very concerned about the production of salsa, and a wide variety of almost all dishes are equipped with salsa, used to increase the flavor of the dishes.

Second, the difference between staple food

Chinese food: there is a clear concept of the main, side dishes, staple food with rice, noodles and other products.

Western food: there is no clear concept of main and side dishes, bread and other pasta, rice is often placed next to the plate as a side dish, the amount is also less.

Western etiquette

One, serving

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

The use of knives, forks and spoons

The spoons are placed horizontally in front of the soup plate, and the other knives and forks are placed on both sides of the dishes, using the knives and forks from the outside in. To eat meat with a knife, use your left hand to hold the fork and press down on the dish, then use your right hand to hold the knife and cut with the tip of the knife. The bones of the meat are placed in the right corner of the plate.

Three, eat with your hands

Bread spread with a little butter to hold and eat, potato chips, fried meat, asparagus and so on.

Four: Napkins

They should only be opened when the hostess opens them, and are best placed in the lap. Use it only to wipe your mouth. The dinner napkin is larger than the breakfast one. Put it on the table on the left after the meal.
