Chinese food in America has changed to suit American flavor. my experience of authentic Chinese food in Beijing. what I learn about in Chinese food culture in Shandong Province. cuisine in Xinjiang cuisine in South China what can various kinds of food tell us. CULTURE AND CUISINE The French author Jean Anthelme Brillat­Savarin once wrote，“Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.” Put more simply，this means “You are what you eat.” Most people today relate this saying to healthy eating. However, Brillat­Savarin was actually referring to our personality, character, and culture. 1.author n.作者 Put (more) simply 简而言之 relate……to…… 将…与…联系起来 refer to 提及；指的是；查阅 personality 性格 character 品质 Task 2 The first paragraph has a quote: "You are what you eat." In pairs, discuss what you think this saying means. Suggested Answers: The saying means that the kind of food we eat tells something about our personality, character, and culture. Certainly，in many ways this seems to be true. Chinese cuisine is a case in point. Prior to coming to China，my only experience with Chinese cooking was in America，with Chinese food that had been changed to suit American tastes.For example, America's most popular Chinese dish is General Tso's chicken, which consists of fried chicken covered in a sweet sauce, flavoured with hot red peppers. 1.certainly adv.当然 a case in point 一个恰当的例子 suit one’s taste 适合某人的口味 consist of 由...组成 =be made up of cover 盖；洒上 flavor v.调味 This is probably not an authentic Chinese recipe， however，so it cannot tell us much about the Chinese.On the other hand，it does tell us a lot about Americans. It tells us，for example, that Americans love bold，simple flavours. And，since the dish was also invented recently, it tells us that Americans are not afraid to try new foods. 1.authentic 真正的；正宗的 on the one hand， on the other hand 一方面……另一方面…… bold adj.大胆的 since 自从；由于 be afraid to do sth 害怕做某事 Later, I had a chance to experience authentic Chinese food by coming to China. When my family and I had just arrived in China, we went looking for a good place( to eat) in Beijing. A Sichuan restaurant had been recommended to us by a friend, and finally, we found it. 1.later adv.后来 have a chance to do sth arrive in，arrive at look for =hunt for=search for recommend sth to sb 向某人推荐某物 recommend sb to do 建议某人做某事 Tired, hungry, and not knowing a word of Chinese, we had no idea how to order, so the chef just began filling our table with the best food （we had ever eaten）.With this, we had the pleasure of experiencing an entirely new taste：Sichuan peppercorns. The food was wonderful and different，but what was even more important was the friendship offered us. 1.order n.顺序 v.命令；订购 be filled with 充满…… have the pleasure of doing sth 很高兴做某事 entirely adv.完全 peppercorn 花椒 Then we moved to northern Xinjiang. Some of our friends were Kazak and Inner Mongolian.These groups traditionally wandered the open range on horses. As a result，their traditional foods are what you can cook over an open fire —usually boiled or roasted meat ， such as lamb kebab . wander v.漫步 the open range 开阔的草原 as a result 因此 as a result of 由于 over an open fire 在户外的火堆上 roast v.烤 Our travels then took us to South China，and then on to central China.In each place we went，we experienced wonderful local dishes，from Guangdong's elegant dim sum —small servings of food in bamboo steamers —to the exceptional stewed noodles in Henan. Everywhere，the food was as varied as the people.However，one thing is always true：Through food, Chinese people everywhere show friendship and kindness. experience v. n. local adj. n. serving n.一份食物 bamboo steamer 竹蒸笼 stewed noodles 烩面 as varied as 和...一样多样的 At a minimum ，the kinds of food local people consume tell us what they grow in their region, what kinds of lives they lead, and what they like and do not like. Could we also say，for example，that those who like bold flavours are bold themselves? Or，that those who like spicy food tend to have a hot temper ？Maybe.Maybe not.What we can say, however, is that culture and cuisine go hand in hand ，and if you do not experience one, you can never really know the other. at a minimum =at least 至少 region n.地区 lead a happy life 过着幸福的生活 bold flavour 重口味 tend to do sth 往往做某事 have a hot temper 脾气暴躁 go hand in hand 密切关联 定语从句 Task3：How is the passage developed?
