Dietary differences between the United States and China.

1, the difference of dietary concept.

What people in China eat is taste. Taste is the charm of China's diet. The purpose of China people's diet is not only to satisfy their hunger, but also to satisfy their thirst for delicious food and bring them physical and mental pleasure.

The west is a rational and scientific concept of diet. Western diet uses absolute rationality to regulate people's behavior, and uses "science" and "nutrition" to exclude delicious food that can bring pleasure to people. Although it can meet the physiological needs, it can't make people get spiritual pleasure from it, which is a fly in the ointment. Westerners pay attention to nutrition, so that most of them grow tall and strong.

2. Different cooking methods.

In China, cooking is an art, which attracts people in China who take food as their greatest pleasure, and has a strong interest, even some banter. For China, cooking is as important as music, dance, poetry and painting.

There are too many cooking methods in China: sliding, stewing, roasting, stewing, steaming, frying, crisp, stewing, roasting, stewing, frying, casserole, drawing, and so on, and the dishes made are even more dazzling.

Western cooking methods are not as complicated and changeable as those in China. Western food is three-dimensional and edible, and most of the food put on the plate can be eaten. Ornaments are the side dishes of the main course. The raw materials of western food are mostly fresh, pollution-free, natural and natural in operation technology, so as to give full play to its original flavor. Don't use too much dry goods. Milk is an indispensable raw material in western food.

3. Differences in dining etiquette.

In terms of etiquette, the difference between China and the West is even greater. In the dining process in ancient China, there was a set of red tape. "Book of Rites Quji" contains: "* * * does not have enough to eat, * * * does not eat by hand, and does not put food in it, but gets it; If you don't raise food, eat it. The guest used to kneel, and the Lord left the guest and sat down. "

The general idea of this passage is: when eating together, you can't eat alone. If you eat with others, you must check your hands. Don't put the extra rice back into the pot, don't monopolize the food, and don't fan the hot rice.

After eating, the guests should get up and clean up the dishes on the table and give them to the host. The host will get up and tell the guests not to work, and then the guests will sit down. Some of these manners are also necessary in modern times.

In western banquets, the host usually takes food for the guests only once, and the rest is eaten by the guests themselves. If guests don't want it, they won't persuade others to eat it, nor will they persuade guests to drink frequently and take food frequently according to the habits of China people. Don't make any noise when eating, but guests should pay attention to the food prepared by the host. If you talk to people, you can only talk to your neighbors, not to people far away.
