一次法國大餐的體驗(yàn)一個朋友同我講述了他在法國游玩時吃法國大餐的尷尬體驗(yàn)。因?yàn)椴幌牖ㄙM(fèi)太多，他便找了一家外觀看起來挺普通的餐廳，然而精致講究的侍者和煩瑣的迎客禮儀讓他絲毫不敢松懈。所有餐具都十分精致：餐盤別致，賞心悅目；刀叉閃亮，數(shù)量眾多；盛酒水的杯子也隨著酒水種類的變化而變化。

每道菜的食材搭配都十分用心，擺盤精美，異常精致，這導(dǎo)致他暗暗思忖：“這頓大餐一定是吃不飽啦！”然而從餐前酒、開胃小點(diǎn)、前菜、Case

湯，再到主菜、甜點(diǎn)、咖啡、餐后酒，這樣一道道程序下來，他竟然有一種吃不下的感覺了。法餐中，侍者會等你用完一道菜才上下一道菜，但是因?yàn)榕笥殉圆幌轮啬汤?，便卡在了這個環(huán)節(jié)，侍者卻不停地上來詢問是否菜肴不合口味，讓人感覺好尷尬。最后朋友只得向侍者解釋，他實(shí)在無法吃下重奶酪，才得以繼續(xù)進(jìn)餐。這一餐整整吃了三個多小時。Case

分析點(diǎn)評

中餐和法餐在用餐的環(huán)節(jié)上存在較大差異。中餐講究色、香，味俱全，雖上菜時先冷后熱，先鮮后咸，但一般都會一次上全供食客享用。法餐追求完美和情調(diào)，氣氛悠閑而融洽，體現(xiàn)了一種“慢食”的理念。中餐博大精深，法餐細(xì)膩考究，食客只要本著接納他國餐飲文化的態(tài)度就一定會有享受美食的美好體驗(yàn)。Translation

中國菜

中國的烹飪歷史悠久，有8000多種有名的菜品，48種基本的烹飪方式，包括烤、煎、煮等。中國菜可以大致分為八個主要的地方菜系(cuisine)，流傳最廣的當(dāng)屬四川菜系。川菜以麻辣著稱，宮保雞丁、麻婆豆腐大受人們歡迎，四川火鍋是世界上最有名的火鍋。除此之外，還有其他很多著名的地方菜系，如北京菜和上海菜。北京菜油膩且口味偏咸，最典型的是北京烤鴨，幾乎每一個到北京的外國人都會到全聚德吃烤鴨。上海菜口味偏甜，對于喜歡甜食的人再好不過了。Translation

在中國，火鍋已有2000多年的歷史。它最早流行于最寒冷的地區(qū)，之后在很多地區(qū)盛行，并出現(xiàn)了具有地方特色的種類。吃火鍋時，家人和朋友圍坐在桌邊，桌子中間放著熱騰騰的火鍋。吃火鍋時，人們可以根據(jù)自己的口味放肉、海鮮、蔬菜和其他配料，自己烹飪。人們也一邊盡情地聊天，一邊享受美餐。Translation
