    China's international status is constantly improving, along with the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, attracting more and more foreign people to travel to our country. We also know that the differences between China and the West are not only in the national system, but also in the food culture.

    In addition to the beautiful scenery, the most attractive thing about our country is the rich and colorful cuisine. Last year, a foreign friend on Douyin couldn't help but sigh in **, before he came to China, he thought that life was just like this, but now he knows that the previous days can only be called life, and the current days are called life. The living environment in China is very humane and easy to feel happy.

    Foreign friends who have just arrived in China often do not have enough to eat, why is this? Obviously, many times we can't eat enough, and there are still people who don't have enough to eat. In foreign countries, many things are exquisite, and even if you eat together at home, you are more particular about the AA system.

    I still remember when I was in high school, the school cafeteria was contracted out, and there would be a lot of bowls of small dishes for us to choose from, and at that time we would discuss how many people would take different dishes, so that everyone could eat different dishes together.

    But in the West, one's own is one's own, and it is rare to have the concept of sharing, when you go to a restaurant to eat, you order a table of dishes, but the waiter brings the dishes in and puts them down and leaves, and no one orders the concept of whom, which also leads to the habit of foreign friends who are unique to not knowing which is their own, and the result is that no one does anything.

    Or when the waiter leaves, they will distribute the dishes that are served, and everyone will only eat the dish in front of them, and there will be only so much to eat in one dish, and there will not be a group of people around to eat one dish like us. And they won't order other staple foods to go with, so it's no wonder they complain about not getting enough to eat.

    This way of eating is really laughable, and it is very unaccustomed to using chopsticks when you are used to using knives and forks, especially when you eat foods such as fried beans. In any case, people from other countries are welcome to come to China to learn about Chinese culture and promote cultural exchanges around the world.

    No, because foreigners usually eat some fatty foods such as hamburgers, steaks, etc., which are not easy to digest.

    Not only because of the problem of eating, but also because of the difference between their staple food and our staple food, mainly beef, chicken, mutton, etc., there are also many differences.

    I think our traditional food is not very popular abroad, so some of our Chinese restaurants abroad, the traditional food is more suitable for the taste of Westerners after Hong Kong Liang, and it is an improved food.

    Westerners have a characteristic, especially in terms of food, they are very few who can turn tricks, which is very different from our people. My relative owns a Chinese fast-food restaurant at an airport in a city in the United States, and many of the employees at the airport are his regular customers. He said:

    As long as you see someone outside the store ready to come in, you can prepare "his" fast food for them.

    Basically, it is inseparable from those few things: Yangzhou fried rice, kung pao chicken, sweet and sour tenderloin, hot and sour soup, which is ordered when you have money (the days when you pay your salary). When I don't have any money around Friday, I ask for a bowl of fried rice with soy sauce.

    And everyone can order a meal every day! "I felt very rare when I heard it. Later, I went to North America to visit relatives and lived for a while.

    They are foreigners, in fact, they are not interested in "eating" at all, as long as they can fill their stomachs.

    Whether they are rich or poor, they don't care at all when it comes to eating. Even if it's an adult, just eat a hamburger to fill your stomach. Or gnaw a few gears to disturb the corn cob and deal with it.

    And when it comes to buying sports suits and equipment, even if you don't have a lot of money in your pocket, you have to buy brand-name products, even if your credit card is overdrawn. This is the cultural difference with us.

    There are those who like it and those who don't.

    Each country has its own tastes, Chinese food is more suitable for our own Chinese tastes, Westerners are very fond of Chinese food, but there are also completely unacceptable, these two extremes belong to relatively few, more acceptable, there are one or two Chinese dishes that are delicious, will eat Chinese food to change the taste, but still Westerners who mainly eat their own cuisine.

    Friends who have stayed abroad know that the Chinese food in foreign Chinese restaurants is basically improved Western Chinese food, on the contrary, they are not used to eating authentic Chinese food, basically eighty percent of Westerners can accept improved Chinese food, and authentic Chinese food is not so popular.

    And the domestic McDonald's KFC and other Western-style fast food is also not authentic, but also according to our Chinese taste, some products also have Chinese rice and soy milk fritters. Therefore, others who you find delicious may not think so, so don't belittle others to improve yourself.

    Foreigners don't like Chinese food very much, and Americans think that Chinese food is expensive and tastes strange.

    In the United States, a variety of Chinese takeaways and restaurants are often featured on American television shows, however, in the eyes of Americans, Chinese food tastes far less delicious than Japanese and French food. They are usually reluctant to spend too much money on Chinese food. Some Americans praise Chinese food only out of politeness.

    Some people specifically interviewed Americans, whether they liked Chinese food or not. In this regard, an American said that he was not very interested in Chinese food, but by chance, he went to a Chinese restaurant in the United States, and after tasting it, he felt that Chinese food was very ordinary, tasted strange, and expensive, and not all Americans could afford it.

    It can be seen that although Chinese food is now spreading very widely, it does attract the attention of many foreigners. However, due to the huge difference in food between China and other countries, foreigners are not very fond of Chinese food. In addition, many Chinese restaurants in the United States do not serve authentic Chinese food, which leads to a great misunderstanding of Chinese food among Americans.

    Like, especially hot pot, there are foreigners who do not return to China for this reason.

    The reasons why foreigners love Chinese hot pot are rich and varied, and these reasons come from different angles.

    At first, it was difficult to accept hot pot, but after trying it, it made people want to stop eating it, and the spicy taste and unique atmosphere deeply attracted people's taste buds; There are many Chinese cuisines and food culture, and hot pot, as a representative delicacy, will naturally attract a large number of diners.

    At the beginning, when it was recommended to eat hairy tripe, yellow throat, duck intestines, and duck blood, I refused, I couldn't eat it, I couldn't eat it if I died, and then I had to order it now.

    Every time I eat hot pot, I look forward to it. In fact, many dishes are ordered by yourself, but every time you go to eat hot pot, it is completely different. It's always going to taste different, especially if you try different combinations each time you explore.

    The hot pot with different ingredients is completely overwhelming. When eating hot pot, everyone at the table is the chef of the day! It was an unforgettable experience for them.

    The taste of foreigners is a little different from ours, and it is okay to eat Chinese food once in a while, but for them they will get tired of eating it every day. We put a lot of MSG, the taste is heavy, and the spicy one is even heavier, do you remember the feeling when you first ate ham sausage? It's so fresh, I didn't eat a few bites, and the first time a foreigner eats Chinese food, it probably feels similar to this! ~~

    China's food culture is broad and profound, coupled with the vastness of the region, for a long time it has formed a "sweet north, salty, spicy and sour" big blockade structure, at the same time, in the development and evolution of eating habits in various places, it has been gradually summarized into a very mature variety of cuisines, large and small, Chinese cuisine is not only the pride of China, for foreign friends, it also has great attraction and magic.

    Almost every foreigner who has been to China will feel the delicious experience brought to them by Chinese cuisine, and the diversification, layering and best blending and integration of flavors will surprise and even "puzzle" all foreigners: how is this taste made?

    At the same time, when eating Chinese food, there is also a place that makes foreigners feel very interesting, that is, the tool for eating - chopsticks, two wooden sticks can take into account a variety of functions such as clipping, balancing and cutting, picking, etc., which is much more convenient to use than knives and forks, however, chopsticks have been learned and used flexibly by many foreigners, and they are not an obstacle to eating Chinese food at all, but the most difficult and embarrassing thing for them is this habit, which is why many foreigners say that Chinese food is not full.

    After ordering a good table of dishes, why do you react that you can't eat enough? We all know that in many countries, especially in the West, people eat in a separate meal system, that is, everyone has their own separate meal, each eats their own, and the biggest feature of Chinese food is the common meal system, a table of dishes everyone eats together, and if you want to eat that, you can sandwich that, which is definitely a "busy area" for foreigners who are in contact with Chinese food for the first time.

    When foreigners order food, they must be accustomed to ordering each other, and when they eat, they are also eating with each other, imagine if anyone orders a plate of cold fungus, it is strange that they can eat enough! If anyone orders a ** chicken, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it until I can! Seeing a table of foreigners eating like this, I'm afraid that even the waiter will laugh when he sees it.

    However, if you insist on foreigners eating with a shared meal system at the beginning, they may also be refused, after all, the way of sharing meals is their habit, and it will take some time to get used to it!

    Chinese cuisine is a very famous food abroad, and Chinese restaurants can be found anywhere in the world, or restaurants of Chinese cuisine. Of course, when it comes to the people who like Chinese food the most abroad, it has to be Americans, and Chinese cuisine in the United States has also developed foods such as American-style Chinese food to cater to Americans who like to eat Chinese food.

    So why is Chinese food an American favorite? On the foreign Q&A forum quora, foreigners asked this question, and now let's listen to the wonderful replies of American netizens, what did they say?

    Real American food is in a dilemma! Most of what we eat is borrowed from Europe. Perhaps hamburgers, hot dogs and pizzas were created here.

    When I entered a Chinese restaurant, I was faced with at least 50 menu choices, some over 100 choices! A typical American restaurant may have 7 options.

    Some American netizens replied: Today, according to the statistics of the American Restaurant Association, there are currently more than 45,000 Chinese restaurants operating in the United States. This number is larger than McDonald's, KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and Wendy combined.

    It has become a familiar food for people in the United States. The fact that it's fast, affordable, and makes excellent takeaway food ensures the continued popularity of Chinese food in the United States. Every time you see this takeaway box, it's sure to make my oriental cravings come true.

    There are also American netizens who replied: American Chinese food appeals to Americans because it is American Chinese food, and it hits all the high notes of the average American's taste: sweet, salty and sour. Let's not forget another reason for cheapness.
