I guess you are talking about 12 course meals to last 3-4 hours (still one main course). If you like to eat raw sea salmon with wasabi and soy source, you will not like the cooked salmon no matter how it is prepared. If you get use to sashimi, I guess no other food can beat it on taste and texture satisfaction.
Thai food can be too spicy, same as Korean food, or our Sichuan food but is highly additive. Not everybody can take it. Certain Indian food is tasty even though they do not look good in general (mexican food included, just the look is enough sometime). How about the great middle east flat bread. We Chinese generally do not eat sweets but I am sure most people will love cream burret (did I spell it right?).

Enjoyed reading your article. Good food can be accepted by most people over time. The west is known for its broild or grilled steak (corn fed only and better part of cattle). There is not much to brag about fish fillets, pork chops, and chikens. Red robester is good no matter how you prepare it.
The major difference is limited choice vs varieties and the eating atmosphese. One course meal (main course) and silent eating environment is dramatically different from multiple dishes and hearty(noisy) atmosphere. We Chinese are used to variety on the table and a causal talking environment. We are mentally not satisfied with one main course even though the steak (both taste and nutrition) is really good. No absolute good or bad. Everybody will agree the meals in UK is terrible therefore the result of most American foods. French and Italian mealss are really good foods if you add a good starter plate. Most Chinese foods in China restaurants (except sea foods) have too much oil. Even Chinese do not like it. Hope the amount of oil will be cut down quickly to satisfy the need of advancing society. Oily food is not the same as home made food.
Liquor is good for home meal if you do not have to drive. Not adequate for party or social dining with cars getting popular. The west has developed better alternative cocktails and other lower alcohol drinks. Throat burning liquors will be limited to none drivers. Even if you like it, you can not drink it too much. Why not change taste.
原來Sushi是禁字,前麵不能有吃字??
看來你是一位真正的專家了。
我真的很喜歡吃生魚片,是因為吃壽司多了而越吃越愛吃,的確非常純。
泰國的、墨西哥的吃過幾次總是進入不了狀態。印度的菜有很多都用咖喱粉,不過味道還算過的去。中東食品有其獨特之處,在朋友家裏吃過,好幾次要求去中東餐館都被家人給否決了。下次再努力。好像應當是beret.
相信你說的。所以說見仁見智。“但是中國菜菜係品種之多,變化無窮的確是沒有對手的。大概國人的想象力全部用到做菜上去了。話說回來,西餐的甜品肯定勝過中餐。 ”完全同意。
試了好幾次要回帖都說有禁閉字,不知怎麽了。
謝謝你的全麵總結,我都同意,你說的很對。用一個軟件將你的東東翻譯了譯了一下:
喜歡讀您的文章。良好的食物經過一段時間終會被大多數人所接受。西方著名的broild或烤牛排(玉米美聯儲隻有更好一部分牛) 。沒有多少吹噓魚片,豬排,和chikens 。紅robester是好的,無論你如何做好準備。
主要的區別是有限的選擇與品種和食用atmosphese 。一個套餐(主菜)和無聲的飲食環境是明顯不同的菜肴和衷心多(噪音)的氣氛。我們中國是用來各種桌子上的因果談環境。我們精神上不滿意的主要課程之一,即使牛排(包括味道和營養)是非常好的。沒有絕對的好消息還是壞消息。每個人都會同意,英國是食物中的可怕的結果,因此,大多數美國的食品。法國和意大利mealss是非常好的食品如果添加了良好的起動板。大多數中國的食品在中國餐館(除海鮮)有太多的0油膩,即使中國人也不喜歡。希望油膩的數量將迅速降低,以滿足社會進步的需要。油膩的食品和家裏做的菜是不一樣的。
烈性酒適合不開車的人在家飲用駛。由於開車的人越來越多不適合於聚會和社交餐飲。西部開發更好的選擇雞尾酒和其他低酒精飲料。喉嚨燃燒酒將是有限的。即使你喜歡它,你不能喝太多。為什麽不改變口味。

【樓主到了新奧爾良不吃Cajun特色的當地菜不是太可惜了?
另外,比起韓國菜來講,日本菜要精致得多了。隻是,西餐和日餐比中餐貴太多了…… 】
還真不知道Cajun特色的當地菜是什麽,下次去一定要嚐嚐。謝謝你的Info。日本料理不是一般的貴,我隻對Sushi還有興趣。韓國的餐館我好像隻吃過麵食,以後再努力。
【要去新奧爾良開會了,請問作者您去過的餐館名稱和地址?】
啊呀,已經很多年了,實在記不得名字了,好像在北郊,離55號州際高速很近。希望那位老廚師還在繼續幹。
fbfb :
【一看你就是北方人。中餐吃熱鬧,西餐吃情調,兩回事。】
我是不南不北。北方人說我是南方人,南方人說我是北方人。你說的很對:中餐吃熱鬧,西餐吃情調。
chamberlain :
【都說國內喝酒的風氣不好,可不知道為什麽我就特懷念逼和被逼喝酒的日子。】
真對。不喝酒、不勸酒就不熱鬧了。開車很“誤事”,我真不想開車,尤其要參加宴會的時候。
xs :
【大多數中國人很少嚐試西餐,其實西餐的味道一點都不比中餐差,無論是法國菜還是意大利菜,都很可口,像樣的墨西哥館子也有好吃的東西。樓主到了新奧爾良不吃Cajun特色的當地菜不是太可惜了?另外,比起韓國菜來講,日本菜要精致得多了。隻是,西餐和日餐比中餐貴太多了…… 】
基本同意你的看法。其實西餐就是單調一些,一塊牛排再好吃也隻是一種菜嘛,老吃一樣,就煩了。而且,大多數情況下還沒等到主碟上來,肚子就已經飽了,有些可惜。可能是我們吃東西的習慣不同。
【部分同意XS的觀點.我覺得如果是高檔食材,比如高檔海鮮,精選部位的肉等,中餐西餐是差不多的,都是突出食物本身的鮮嫩美味,都很可口.但就中低檔食材來說,中餐有很大的優勢,能夠把很普通又便宜的材料做的很好吃. 】
這是一位美食家了。我不知道多少錢一個菜才是高檔。我說的當然隻是一個中產階級能消費得起的,否則也就不是我的往事了。

【我要吃紅燒肉邊上的蛋!!!以前我在中國,一口氣吃6個。要不是怕吃壞,還能吃 】
有一個專家,會吃,說得大家都饞了。
閑人Filiz :
【看餓了! 】
趕緊回家做或買吧,這回餐館老板高興了。
【應該說沒有真正到歐洲品嚐過歐洲各國美食和美酒,是沒法真正了解西餐的,更談不上對中西餐進行對比。很多地道的歐洲本土風味的美食在北美更本很難吃得到】
這一點我也相信,就像美國人喜歡的中餐與我們喜歡的中餐完全不一樣。我也隻能談談自己經曆過的事,算是消遣而已,不能算公正、科學、合理。
牛奶瓶 :
【紅燒肉好吃,太好吃了。這多年沒吃了,很想再吃了。想起了那味,那一口咬下去,滿嘴是油的感覺。謝謝作者,讓我有這樣一種回憶和遐想。 】
一聽你說這話就知道你是紅燒肉專家了。把我說得都流口水了。:))

【最後的韓國冷麵和上海的味千拉麵很象。 】
韓國冷麵有用細麵,也有用粗點的麵的,不過大部分會是比照片裏的麵要細一點的。
【作者一定沒有好好吃過上品的西餐。你喜歡,那是因為你從小就養成了中國人的口味。關於吃的講究,西方不比中國差。】
這裏有的西餐我都吃過了,不過如此。當然,貴族的餐館俺沒吃過,也不知道那有,可能也不讓進。我所在的城市算全美前十大。你說的一點不假,我喜歡的原因之一是因為小時候吃過。

【饞死俺了!這麽多美食!! 】
我寫這篇文章的時候,哈喇子都出來了。哈哈。
qujohn88:
白酒比洋酒更有香醇的味道,但洋酒配成雞尾酒在交際場合更實用,喝的時候不用吃菜,也不傷頭,更有情調。
誰不深刻呢,我也喜歡吃鹹鴨蛋,尤其是蛋黃最好吃,可沒吃過臭的。
小時候喜歡吃肉,現在還是喜歡,隻是為了不讓膽固醇上去,要痛苦的減少肉吃了。
你喜歡,那是因為你從小就養成了中國人的口味。關於吃的講究,西方不比中國差。隻是你沒有機會去品味。如果還沒有了解這裏的事物,可以多看看這裏的FOOD CHANNEL 和 FINE LIVING CHANNEL.
中餐吃熱鬧,西餐吃情調,兩回事。
現在國內開車的人多了,經常一桌上有一半的人不喝,熱鬧的氣氛少了很多。
另外,比起韓國菜來講,日本菜要精致得多了。隻是,西餐和日餐比中餐貴太多了……
咳咳。
誰不喜歡呢。。。。。。
