Characteristics Of Chinese Cuisine And Cookery

The food is never just a food in the sociological perspective. The language of Food and the eating habits of an individual reflects his/her culture and background identity. Indeed, some cultures like Chinese, Mexican, Thai are well known for their food and the status of their religion. Through the lens of the first reading by Fischler (1988, p. 275) “Food is central to our sense of identity”. The following journal shapes the significance of phenomenological basis to understand the food and ideas of an individual. In contemporary world, we can relate food and the background where it comes from. The relationship of cuisines and human beings involves complex cognitive processes.

Food is closely related to people's lives and it is considered the most important element in Chinese culture. Chinese food is famous all over the world too. American Chinese cuisine differs significantly from the traditional Chinese cuisine and even though the variation in taste can be so it is still attractive to many people. When it comes to food, Chinese people always care about the color, taste, smell and shape of Chinese dishes. In 1784, a group of passengers on the ship Empress of China became the first Americans to land in China and they were also the first group of people to eat Chinese food; it was the

As a young boy, food served as a connection to his heritage. His mother would pack him a lunch with Chinese dishes and on American holidays, his family had their own Chinese twist. He writes about one Thanksgiving in particular. His mother cooks Chinese dishes such as cha siu, which is completely different from what the family of one of his childhood friends, Warren, makes. They had casserole, turkey, mashed potatoes and other traditional American Thanksgiving food.

Looking at the years of progression of food in china it started with Chinese imperial food originated around the Zhou Dynasty 11th century B.C. – 476 B.C. Although China’s dietetic culture developed and grew prior to the Zhou Dynasty, it truly flourished during the Zhou, Qin, and Han dynasties 1122 B.C. – 220. (www.china.org.cn/english/imperial/25995.) But when we look at the food today it has a mix of diversity of mix culture with the main ideas of the imperial dinning back in Zhou dynasty. We can look at food like curry which came from India and the Chinese culture took the spice and added to its food but also remembering the balance of sweet and sour and hot and spicy as well as tart. We can also look at the U.S.A and seeing the

Culture is not only reflected in the performing arts or languages, but it is also more able to reflect on the food that people under different food cultural backgrounds, their eating habits and tastes are different. Every place in this world had one or more typical foods to show its culture. Wuhan, where I grew up, is famous not only of its historical sites, like Yellow Crane Tower and Guiyuan Tempe but also famous of its characteristic snacks, such as Hot Dry Noodle, Doupi and duck necks. In these special foods, Hot Dry Noodle is the most important one because it is not only good at taste, but it also can show the culture of Wuhan that this city contains enthusiasm, wisdom, gentleness, and perseverance. In order to prove thesis, I am going to discuss the history of Hot Dry Noodles, Hot Dry Noodles in Wuhan people’ lives, and the culture aspect of Hot Dry Noodles.

There is a wide variety of food that could be found in New York City, from Chinese food to Mexican food, from Japanese food to Italian food. Everything is located in the city and it takes just minutes to get from one cuisine to the next. With different foods from different culture, it allows people to gain a different perspective on food. To continue, due to the diversity in food, there has been emergence of new foods, foods that combines different cultures. For example, sushi burger became a hit when it was first created. This food, is a mix of Japanese and American cuisine. Another example is the Mac and Cheese Spring Roll. This is a fusion of classic Chinese and American food. This shows how new food creations have emerged because they combine elements from different cultures. Diversity is a factor to this phenomenon and it is also what makes New York City

Many of the scrumptious Chinese foods we devour today date all the way back to the times of emperors and palaces. These delicious foods have adapted over time, and are not at all what you would typically order at a American Chinese cuisine restaurant. In the book Fish Cheeks by Amy Tan, a Chinese family shares a traditional meal with an American family. The Americans are a bit shocked at what they found on their plates that night, as they have never seen such a unique platter. Many of traditional Chinese foods originated from the Imperial times, and some of these foods are still eaten today.

Growing up, I had the privilege of exploring different cultures in my community; one aspect - food. A love for going to a Chinese restaurant by my school and converse in Mandarin Chinese with the waitress, or go to the Mexican grills near my home and learn the cuisine in Spanish, spurred my passion for finding a connection to my own culture’s value of food. With so many wide ranges of cultural foods, I have begun to learn that it wasn't just one culture that loved food or good times, but a universal theme.

When watching the movie, “Eat Drink Man Woman”, I was able to learn a lot about the Chinese culture and the food that they eat. Even though all the food that was prepared in the film was high end cuisine, I was still able to get a glimpse of what it had to offer. When a lot of Americans think of Chinese food, they tend to think strictly about American Chinese food, and that is not the case. Many meals were prepared in the film that ranged from elegant soups, chicken, duck, and fish, to fancy dumplings, and desserts. The film was able to show me a lot of what the food they eat looks like, even if it was five star meals, and had a great storyline to back it up.

In Ancient China, the people ate healthy. The Chinese ate a lot of vegetables but the variety was small.

At one point in Chinese Food History, Wine was more popular than tea, the first wine that was introduced to them was Yellow Rice Wine, also known as Huangjiu. Huangjiu is a rice wine made from water and cereal grains like rice, millet, sorghum and wheat. This type of alcohol contained less than 20% of actual alcohol, and it was aged for as long as 20 years. (Wikipedia, n.d.) Chinese people also ate all kinds of meats from different animals, however, not all could afford it so they replaced it with tofu as a cheaper source of protein. Tofu is bean curd, it is rich in nutrients like calcium, iron, high protein and has little fat. It replaced meat for the poor Chinese since they didn’t eat meat regularly, only on special occasions. They made a law that would give every Chinese person a free cup of tofu every week, I did not find any evidence of this law but tofu was still important to the Chinese and their healthy diet Tea was also common in china, and it grew wild all over China and they had plenty of it, everyone drank tea,

1. The essay was talking about the huge different between Chinese’s food and American’s food and they are totally make different foods.
