Describe the significance that food has
in your life. That significance might be, but is not limited to, the personal,
cultural, social, familial, or geographical. You could focus on a particular
meal or type of food, or your relation with food in a particular place, with
particular people, or across a particular time. The best essays will be
specific in details, reflective in considering food in one’s life, and more
concerned with inquiry than with easy answers.
Short Essay


Secondly,
Chinese like eating whole grains, while American like having fine white flour.
In fact, whole grains contained more nutrients than refined grains.
Thirdly,
Chinese love to eat vegetable oil, while American usually cooking with animal
oils with high cholesterol. In addition, Americans have butter and cheese
everyday, which may cause cardiovascular disease.

Lastly,
Chinese like drinking tea after having meal, because drinking tea can reduce
blood cholesterol levels. By contrast, American love coffee very much, which
may increase blood lipids and stimulate the heart. American diet culture is less
healthy than Chinese diet culture.
Taste
of American food is completely different from the taste of Chinese food. The
food in China is more focus on “Guoqi”, which means the food should be cooked
in big fire. If the food cooked in big fire, the food would be more delicious.
Thus, usually Chinese food is more hotter than American food.
If
there are these two kinds of food on the desk, it is very easy to recognize
which one is American food or Chinese food. Chinese food is always mixed many
kinds of raw material together. “Scrambled egg with tomato” is an example. It
is made of green onions, egg and tomatoes. American food, such as beefsteak,
usually has only one raw material. Therefore, you can easily to distinguish
these two kinds of food.
I
love Xiajiao very much! Xiajiao is the most famous food in China. The reason I
love Xiajiao is that I come from the South of China, Guangdong Province, where
is famous for its food. I like Guangzhou, a city in China, so I love Xiajiao
very much, special local product in Guangzhou. There is only reason why I love
Xiajiao, because Xiajiao is only offered in Guangzhou, where is my hometown.
Xiajiao
actually is shrimp dumpling. Usually Xiajiao is made of fine ground flour,
shrimps, carrots and corns. It seems so simple that shrimp dumpling is made of.
Maybe you would be curious about why I would love this kind of simple food. As
the saying goes, “the simple, the best.”

After
these complicated preparation, Xiajiao is tastes smooth and tasty. Xiajiao
looks absolutely inviting and yummy because it has transparent skin and orange inside.
