The road to the World Heritage of Chinese food Foreigners marvel at the difficulty of learning chopsticks, and their unique charm has caused controversy
Intangible Cultural Heritage?The only pity is that Chinese cuisine has been applying for World Heritage since 2008, and it has failed again and again.
So, why is Chinese cuisine not recognized by Western countries?I'm also very interested in this, although Asians can accept it, but not everyone can accept it, for example, a certain overseas **, I did a questionnaire about Chinese food.
The headline of the news was: Forget your chopsticks and give us your knives and forks.
In this story, most Americans love Chinese food, especially American-style Chinese food. But for American eaters, they lack the confidence to throw away their cutlery instead of using chopsticks.
Asian cuisine here refers to Chinese food in a broad sense, and in fact refers to Chinese food. The survey, which was conducted by more than 1 million Americans, showed that about 23 percent of Americans said they prefer to use chopsticks.
In short, foodies can give up their "dignity"...
Another study reveals the reality of Americans: 47 percent use chopsticks, and 47 percent don't use chopsticks at all.
Although this kind of inspection is not formal and has little impact, it is clear from the people who attended that Americans attach importance to Chinese food, otherwise they would not have done it.
I don't know if I've ever seen something like this in the U.S., but I once saw it at a restaurant in Chinatown, and it's said to be very popular in the U.S. From this point, you can see how big a foodie's brain hole is.
So what is the status of Chinese cuisine in the United States?In the words of one fan: China's status even surpasses that of Western food. You may find it incredible to say it, but I'll give you an example, one is a new one, and the other is two styles.
It's a decades-old restaurant that's a humble restaurant that has been on a lot of food shows. This shop sells Cantonese pastries, which are very common in Chinatown, and even the brand is very shabby, but this does not affect their income of tens of thousands of dollars a day, not to mention that most of them are Chinese, even Chinese will not spend twelve yuan to buy one.
Children who live in the United States will recognize what kind of restaurant it is at first glance. McDonald's is a Chinese fast-food chain, it already has nearly 1,000 stores in the United States, and it has become a daily routine for many people.
Isn't this China's fast food?Although it looks similar, the food, cleanliness, and service here are much better than those in Huaxia, which is not a simple management, but a concept. China is so big and has so many dishes, and the most eaten food in the United States is fast food, which I think is a lack of concept.
In addition, in recent years, the hot pot that is very popular in the United States is also very popular in the United States, as long as it is Chinese, it will basically be eaten, "Yang Yang Pot" (Cole's name for this dish), in the eyes of the old beauty, is simply a boss-level figure. This high-end Chinese restaurant in Silicon Valley can only serve 60 tables a day, and each person spends more than $150.
Isn't it expensive?Although it is expensive, it has to be booked in advance!
