Supervisor:忽思乐SelectedtopicreasonDietisalwaysasubjectthatcancausesomuchculturalconflictandcollision.饮食始终是一个能够引起如此多文化冲突与碰撞的话题。

那群来自天天生活在面包、土豆、鸡肉与牛肉包围之中的西方来客，面对中国菜之类的异域美食，一方面内心要感慨东方人在饮食问题上过人的勇气与创造力，另一方面又要表现出矜持与保守以维护其第一世界公民的修养与形象，这种认知与行为上的失调难免就会引发出一次又一次滑稽又回味无穷的笑。别看西方人貌似体格健硕，可他们在餐桌上的胆量有时却不敢恭维。无外乎西餐食材远不如中餐的博大精深，筷子间出现的各种奇特物质难免引起西方食客的神经抽搐。好在中国人一向对自己的饮食文化引以为豪，即使面对外国人对食材或烹调手段的大惊小怪，往往也只是一笑了之。就是这样，许多西方人永远无法理解海蜇、皮蛋、凤爪与鸡鸭血汤的美味.他们钟情于自己的美味，可在中国人眼里，那些美味也奇怪得很——全生的蔬菜色拉已然是极品之至；而肉更貌似只分两种：没烧熟的和已烤焦的，好似西餐厨师从来不懂火候为何物。TableofContentsBackgroundThegoalofthisstudyOutlineBackgroundthedifferentnaturalenvironmentandthepropertyforalongtimebetweenChineseandWestern,therearesomanydifferencessuchaslivingenvironment,customs,attitudes,valuesandsoon.Itcausesthedifferentculture.Differentculturebringsupdifferentdietcultures.ThegoalofthisstudyBasedontheanalysis,wecannotonlyunderstandourowntraditionalculturesbutalsotheWesternfurther,whichcanmakeusbreakthroughthebarriersinthecrossculturalcommunication,avoidmisunderstandingandfacilitatetheefficientcommunication.OutlineIntroductionChapterITheDifferencesofDietaryConcepts betweenChineseandWestern1.1AttitudestowardsEating1.2PerceptionofTaste1.3AttachImportancetotheNutrition1.4AnalysisOutlineChapterIITheDifferencesofDiningWay betweenChineseandWestern2.1TheStyleofDining2.2TheOpinioninEntertainGuests2.3AttitudeonPay2.4AnalysisConclusion
