People of every country have
unique ideas
about what is good food. People become quite illogical when they try
to decide what is delicious and what is not. For instance, if you
considered one kind of food a great delicacy in your country, you
might not be able to understand why some people in other countries
find it “unusual”. The truth is that most of us have been brought
up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our lives.
If you live in America, you won’t eat out often since it is very expensive.
However, very few Americans eat lunch at home because very few of
them work near where they live. Either they pack their lunch in the
morning and take it with them to work, school or the office or else
they eat out. They buy lunch in the restaurants, most being fast-food
restaurants. However, Americans may invite visiting Chinese to a more
formal dinner, so it is important for us to adhere
to the Western table manners.
It is necessary to focus on
cultural eating differences between Chinese and Western societies
which may cause misunderstandings if ignored . |
