The types of foods have so many varieties in the world, in some countries from east, rice was regarded as staple food and use chopsticks as tableware; In some countries from west, potato was

16、 regarded as staple food and use knife and fork as tableware. Why the potato will be often regarded as dish not as staple food in some easts countries like China? Whats the reason that caused the different diet culture? To help people who from different countries to understand the difference diet cu

17、ltures between the east and the west, the paper selects China and the US as examples to analysed. And through their specific difference manifestations of the eating habits, the reasons of caused difference, and the last part is to introduce the difference diet cultures effects and functions in the t

18、wo countries communion and confluence. Through to analysed the two countries different diet culture, that talk shallowly about the effects and functions of different diet culture in cross-culture communication.1. The characteristics and connotations of diet cultures in China with the United States C

19、hinese diet cultures influenced by various factors, and it represents different characteristics. First, Chinese diet pays many attentions to appearance. For example, the cook will carve different kinds of sculpts which are made by fruits or vegetables such as watermelon or radish to adorn diet. Seco

20、nd, it has regional features. Different region has different diet system, and the most famous diet system is the eight major components of Chinese cuisine, which are Hunan Cuisine, Anhui Cuisine, Zhejiang Cuisine, Jiangsu Cuisine, Fujian Cuisine, Guangdong Cuisine, Sichuan Cuisine and Shandong Cuisi

21、ne. Third, it combines diet with medicine. Chinese people always prevent disease and treat the disease through diet therapy. All in all, Chinese foods aroma, color and teste are all excellent.As we all know that the United States is a country of immigrants, different countrys culture, history and re

22、ligion mix together and make up American diet culture. Comparing with Chinese diet culture, the biggest characteristic of American culture is that they pay much attentions to the collocation of nutrition, and they do the best to represents the taste of diet. For example, they prefer to eat uncooked

23、food or unprocessed food rather than processed food. As a multinational country, Americans diet culture is diversity. Other countrys people bring their own countrys diet custom and technique of cook food to the United States, with the passing of time, American diet culture has made up. Therefore, Am

24、erican diet culture mixed up the most outstanding diet culture of other countries, and it owns one of the best diet culture in the world.2. The different eating habits2.1 Types of foodChina has been an agriculture country since ancient times, and its main crops are wheat and rice, therefore, most of

25、 Chinese like to eat vegetarian diet. In ancient times, peoples living standards are not as high as ours today, they eat rice and vegetables everyday as their food. Only when it is a celebrated day or rich people would eat meat. However, with the development of economic, Chinese peoples dietary stru

26、cture are becoming more and more reasonable, they would eat meat every day, especially processed cooked food, which they think are much heathier and safe than unprocessed food. Chinese people usually eat three meals a day, in which they think the most important is lunch. There is an old saying: Brea

27、kfast like a king, lunch like a prince, supper like a pauper, and it can be the best description of Chinese dietary habit. We Chinese have an idea that the most important meal in a day is lunch, so our dishes are so bumper in lunch time. As for dinner, the old choose to eat little or eat nothing dep

28、end on everyones health condition. In addition, Chinese people like to drink tea, which has become a way of communication. The types of tea have green tea, black tea, oolong, Puer tea etc. As a guest, when you go to some friends house having a visit, the host will provide the best qualitys tea for y

29、ou to show their welcome.Americans have totally different point of view. They like to eat meat and in their mind, the nutritional value of meat is so high that vegetarian diet cannot catch up with. Many American foods material originate from chicken, fish, eggs and beef etc. They also drink milk eve

30、ry day, so they look very strong. Not like Chinese people, American people dont like to eat animals viscera, head, feet etc. As for drinks, they like coffee. Coffee has become a part that cannot be separated from their daily life. There are also many types of coffee: espresso, mocha coffee, cappucci

31、no, lattee and so on.2.2 TablewareComparing with two countrys tableware, we can find many disparities. In China, any tableware can be presented on the table.Traditional Chinese tableware including chopsticks, bowls, saucers, soup spoons and so on. And chopsticks are the most representative tableware

32、 in China, we use them at every days meal. The usage of chopsticks is very special, we can not only use it to eat rice, but also can use it to eat noodles, dumplings, rice noodles, meat and so on. Almost every kind of Chinese food can be eaten by chopsticks. But there is a taboo we should take notic

33、e of. When we use chopsticks to eat rice, we cannot stick it in rice straightly, because when we show our respect to our ancestors, we United usually take this action.In the United States, we can also see many tableware such as knives, forks, saucers and so on. Unquestionable, knives and forks are u

34、sed most frequently, hence they become the most representative tableware in America. The function of knives and forks are likely to the chopsticks, they have many usage, too. When you eat fish, meat and sea food, you can use knives, and when you eat salad or other relish, you can use forks. Moreover

35、, if you are in different situation, the functions of tableware are not the same, so the best choice to use tableware correctly abroad is to ask your friends for help, whenever you have questions, ask your friends or the host as much as possible, they will be pleasure to introduce their diet culture

42、ition. TraditionalChinesecookingmethodsincluding steam, deep-fry, bake, roast, boil and so on. Any one of these methods can break down nutrients, some even may do harm to our health. Nevertheless, none of Chinese people think it is vital important, they only want to pursue the best taste. And the hi

43、ghest standard of a Chinese diet is its taste. What is known to all is that Chinese people like eating food with saline taste although they have already known too much salt is harmful to their health. Why this situation would happen? There are some reasons. On the one hand, every family can afford t

44、he price of salt, which is a condiment in China, so salt nearly can be seen in every Chinese food. On the other hand, according to a survey, someone can accept the taste of spicy, someone can accept the taste of sweet, but more people would like to accept the taste of salty, this survey laid a solid

45、 foundation for the popular of salty food.The appearance of food reflects Chinese traditionally philosophical viewfuzziness. Thus we pursue the beautiful appearance of food surpass its nutrition. The ultimate demand of Chinese cuisine is to merge together every kind of flavor or raw material and mak

46、e a satisfying meal for dependents. Such process lays stress on the control of details and the coordinate of entire food system.Contrary to Chinese diet culture, Americans lay much emphasis on food nutrition. Americans think that eating scientifically nutritious food is critical, and they pay more a

47、ttention to efficiency and convenience, and do not care about the appearance of refinement and meticulousness (Lockie, S., 2002:54-57). What American holds in great account is whether nutrient content, including protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamin and other inorganic elements, is suitable and whethe

48、r the nutrient content is best absorbed(Clayton, M. M.,1994:12). They regard diet as a kind of science, and pursue as much as nutrition in food. In their idea, everyone cannot survival without food, in other words, food is only to help people survival rather than give you a good taste. For them, get

49、ting energy is the only target for them to eat. But going too far is as bad as not going far enough, todays rate of obesity in the United States rise to about 38 percent, which is the highest rate in the world. In addition, Americans like to eat food with little condiment, some athletes or fitness f

50、anatics even eat food just boiled in order to reduce lipid. Indeed, this type of diet system is good for metabolism.3.5Serving orderChinese serving order United usually like this: Firstly, drinks and cold dishes will be served, you can chat with your friends and eat some cold dish. Then, hot dishes

51、will be served. Our Chinese people like even numbers, whatever dishes are served, the number will be six, eight, ten, twelve etc. Because Chinese people think even numbers represent good luck and happiness. Next, staple food will be served. Staple food mainly include rice or steamed bun. At last, de

52、ssert and fruits will be served. When the host invited many friends, there would be many tables in the room, but the foods serving order are the same, and cold dishes will be served at the beginning, then hot dishes and dessert. If you take the responsibility to server all the people, you should kee

53、p in mind that guests are the most important people, so you should serve them first, after all the guests are served, the hosts table is the last. Some matters need attention in this serving progress. If the dishes like chicken, duck or fish are entirely as a whole being served, then we should be ca

54、reful that the head cannot toward the emic position. About serving system, there are different forms. Some places or restaurants would put the same dishes on a big tray, then bring it to the guests, every table can have one if they take it by themselves. Some places or restaurants would order their

55、servants to provide all the dishes to guests without disturbing them. While some places would divide all the dishes into small quantity that is adequate for one person, then distribute to everyone. This type of distribution like slide show, serving one dish at a time.Americas serving order United us

56、ually like this: before staple food, they United usually can get butter, bread, cold dishes, soup and sea food. Cold dishes and soup are match with bread to eat together first. As the first dish, cold dish can be eaten together with aperitifs. Then it is the performance of staple food. American peop

57、le like to eat all kinds of meat, for instance, beef, mutton, pork, chicken, fish and so on. Not like Chinese people, in some occasions, Americans dont like to chat while eating. Ice-cream and pudding are their dessert.4. Reasons 4.1Geographical locationsChina is located in the east of Asia and the

58、west coast of the Pacific Ocean. Northern Chinese people like to eat pasta due to wheat is appropriate grown at there. Northern areas terrain is open and plain, and its precipitation is seasonal. Steamed buns are necessary for northern Chinese people, and they did not have the feeling of satiety wit

59、hout eating it. Southern Chinas weather is hot and rainy, and the local famers know what kind of grain can grow best, so they plant paddy fields. Southern Chinese people attach great importance to color, smell and taste of food. Their taste is subdued and they like to add sugar into their food. Many

60、 people also like to eat raw aquatic products such as fish, crab, salmon, etc., and eat it with a little condiment. Southern Chinese people pay attention to exquisite food, and every meal will have stewed soup, also with light tastes.Most of Chinas areas are located in monsoon climate. Its rain and

61、heat are in the same period, which is conducive to the growth of crops. It boasts several latitudes and longitudes, thus forming multiple climate zones, which is conducive to the diversity of agriculture. The terrain is complex and diverse, which is conducive to the development of three-dimensional

62、agriculture. The coastline is long, and the economy of the southeastern coastal areas is advanced, also the areas sea transportation is convenient.The United States is the forth-largest country in the world. Its territories include the United States, Alaska in the northwestern part of North America,

63、 and the Hawaiian Islands in the central Pacific Ocean. Most of the United States belong to the continental climate, and the northeast climate is clammy, suitable for the growth of juicy pasture, the development of dairy farming. The central terrain is flat, black soil is widespread, and there is plenty of water and heat. During the same period of rain and heat, large farms are developed. Wheat, corn and cotton are from the nor
