What are the differences between Chinese and western food cultures?

Introduction: There are many countries in the world, and each country will have its own food culture because of its geographical location, environmental climate and other reasons. China's food culture has a very long history. Some foreigners come to China and feel that the food is not to their taste. Similarly, it is difficult for China people to adapt to the local diet when they go abroad. So what's the difference between Chinese and western food cultures?

I. Cooking Methods China's food culture has a long history, and both the north and the south and all ethnic groups have their own local food culture. China has various cooking methods, such as frying, frying, frying, steaming, boiling and stewing. However, in western countries, there are not as many cooking methods as in China, especially in cooking. People in China usually have a strong taste when cooking, and they like to put peppers and various condiments. In western countries, they pay more attention to the original flavor of food, so students studying abroad usually buy food and cook by themselves because they are not used to the local diet. There is also news on the internet that people studying abroad have been complained by neighbors because the cooking fume at home is too large and the police have been attracted. This oolong is also ridiculous, but it is precisely because of this different food culture that this oolong is caused.

Second, eating habits When eating western food, all foreigners will use knives and forks, but in China, chopsticks are the main tableware, and chopsticks have a long history in China, and the meaning of pairing is also very good. They are not only utensils for everyone to eat at the table, but also a kind of historical and cultural accumulation. These chopsticks are full of the wisdom of their ancestors. Therefore, if foreigners want to come to China to taste delicious food, they must learn to use chopsticks first, otherwise they will lack a lot of fun.

Third, the taste problem when people in western countries eat, the taste is relatively light. I remember that in the program "Chinese Restaurant in China", the dishes cooked by the guests are just ordinary dishes for China people, but for foreigners, they will feel a little spicy and unacceptable. This also fully shows that there are great differences in dietary tastes between Chinese and western people.
