10、inly, in many ways this seems to be true. Chinese cuisine is a case in point. Prior to coming to China3, my only experience with Chinese cooking was in America, with Chinese food that had been changed to suit American tastes4. For example, Americas most popular Chinese dish is General Tsos chicken,
11、which consists of fried chicken covered in a sweet sauce5, flavoured with hot red peppers. 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 b

However, one thing is always true: Through food, Chinese people everywhere show friendship and kindness.文化与美食法国作家让安泰尔姆布里亚萨瓦兰曾写道：“告诉我你平时吃什么，我就可以说出你是什么样的人。”更简单地说，这句话就是“人如其食”的意思。如今，大多数人把这条
20、谚语与健康饮食联系起来。然而，布里亚萨瓦兰实际上指的是我们的个性、品格及文化。当然，从很多方面来看，此话不假。中国菜就是个很好的例子。来中国之前，我只在美国接触过中式烹饪，那里的中国食物已被改变，以适应美国人的口味。例如，在美国最受欢迎的中国菜是“左宗棠鸡”，它在油炸的鸡肉上淋上甜酱，再佐以煸炒过的红辣椒制成。然而，这或许并不是地道的中餐做法，因此并不能让我们对中国人了解多少。另一方面，它确实让我们对美国人了解很多。例如，这道菜说明美国人喜爱浓烈、简单的口味。此外，由于这道菜也是新发明，说明美国人不惧怕尝试新的菜品。后来，我来到中国，有机会品尝地道的中国食物。我与家人刚刚抵达中国，便在北京找一
21、个好地方吃饭。一位朋友之前向我们推荐过一家川菜馆，最终我们找到了这家餐馆。我们又累又饿，也不认识一个汉字，不知道该怎么点餐，所以厨师径自在我们的桌子上摆满食物，那是我们吃过的最可口的佳肴。于是，我们高高兴兴地体验了一种全新的口味：四川花椒。食物妙不可言、与众不同，但更为重要的是我们所获得的友谊。不久，我们到了位于华北东部的山东省。在那里我最喜爱的食物是蘸着醋吃的水饺。我发现那里的人都很重视家庭。水饺已成为华北人民最喜爱的一种传统食物；包饺子一直是一项全员参与的家庭活动，无论老少都会加入进来帮忙。后来，我了解到山东最有名的美食是煎饼卷大葱。随后，我们又到了新疆北部。我们的一些朋友是哈萨克族人和内
22、蒙古人。传统上，他们骑着马在广阔的草原上漫步。因此，他们的传统食物在篝火上烹制而成，通常是水煮肉或烤肉，例如烤羊肉串。接着，我们前往华南，之后又去了华中。我们每到一处，都会品尝当地美食，有广东的精致点心那是放在竹蒸笼里蒸出来的小份食品，还有河南独特的烩面。所到之处的美食与当地人一样精彩纷呈。然而，有一件事始终不变：每个地方的中国人都通过食物展现友情与善意。minimum n最小值；最少量adj.最低(限度)的；最小的consume vt.吃；喝；饮；消耗temper n脾气；火气At a minimum, the kinds of food local people consume tell
