Later, I found out that British people like cold food. Their salad, for example, is made from vegetables 4 are only washed before serving,
11、while Chinese food is prepared more 5 (care). The Chinese have a fixed phrase “old leftovers”. Cold food means povertyyou dont give it to a guest! No wonder westerners like Chinese food.
