Culinary customs vary from country to country and not only when it comes to the dishes but also the eating habits themselves. For example, let's talk about the differences between a western dinner and a Chinese dinner. A typical Western dinner is made up of three courses: starter, main course, dessert, and coffee. In general, the first course is something light, such as a salad or a soup, the main course includes meat or pasta with a garnish and in the dessert we enter the field of sweets that can continue with some pastries that accompany the coffee.
Well, Chinese dinner differs from ours. It is structured in another way: first, there are no wines or soft drinks, but the, jasmine or chrysanthemum tea, second, the entrees are usually cold vegetables or cooked meat that is served cold. Regarding the main dish, there is not a single dish but there are several and the more people sit at the table, the more dishes there will be, since they are all shared. Of course, each diner also has their own bowl of white rice to accompany them. Rice is something like bread in Western cuisine. It is not that the Chinese eat a lot of rice but it is present in all meals.
And finally, a Chinese dinner differs from a Western one because the soup, which in the second is the main dish, in the Chinese dinner is served after the dishes. Dessert? Fruits mainly, and if we are in a restaurant of category surely the fruits will be cut in different ways. They are the final touch as they leave the mouth clean and fresh.
