中國是具有五千年歷史的文明古國，它的飲食文化與烹調技藝是它的文明史的一部分，是中國燦爛文化的結晶。中國疆域遼闊，氣候多樣，熱帶、亞熱帶、溫帶、亞寒帶兼而有之；地形多樣，江河湖海，山川平原，無(wú)一不備，這樣就為中國的飲食與烹調提供了不同種類(lèi)、不同品質(zhì)的魚(yú)肉禽蛋、山珍海味、瓜果蔬菜等豐富的動(dòng)植物原料、調料。

什么叫快餐文化？

快餐文化就是只求速度不求內涵的一種現象，比如看名著(zhù)只看精簡(jiǎn)版，想學(xué)東西只想報速成班。?快餐文化是人們生活節奏加快的產(chǎn)物，是人們對名利過(guò)多追逐的產(chǎn)物，是人們只求其名不求其實(shí)的表現。快餐文化，比喻追求速成通俗短期流行,不注重深厚積累和內在價(jià)值的文化思潮和文化現象。如今社會(huì )的節奏加快，隨著(zhù)網(wǎng)絡(luò )的進(jìn)一步發(fā)展，快餐文化進(jìn)入了瘋狂的時(shí)代，這慢慢演變成為一種時(shí)尚，沖擊傳統文化。所謂快餐只突顯“快”，但是缺乏營(yíng)養，多吃無(wú)益。文化快餐同樣存在此類(lèi)缺陷，既缺乏內涵，也不可能體現和代表主流，多啃也會(huì )無(wú)益。處于現代快節奏社會(huì )里，快餐文化在部分滿(mǎn)足了人們追求精神文化需求的同時(shí)，也帶來(lái)了它的負面影響。

飲食文化都包括哪些方面？？

Eating Custom and Practice
American eating is funny. They eat almost everything with a fork, and it appears that holding a knife in one's right hand longer than a few seconds is considered to be against good table manners.
飲食的風(fēng)俗和習慣
美國人的飲食習慣很有趣。 他們吃所有東西都用叉子。好像用右手拿刀幾秒鐘就被認為與好的桌上進(jìn)餐禮儀相違背。

The system is that if it is absolutely necessary to use a knife, people take the fork in their left hand, and cut off a piece of meat or whatever it is in the normal manner. Then they put the knife down, transfer the fork to their right hand, and only then do they transport the food to their mouth. This is clearly ludicrous(滑稽可笑), but it is considered good manners.
這種用法就是如果絕對需要用刀的話(huà)， 人們就用左手拿叉， 按平常的方法切下移小塊肉和者其它的東西。然后他們把刀放下，把叉轉到右手， 只有這時(shí)他們才把食物送入口中。這顯然很滑稽， 但卻是被認為是好的禮儀。
There are several results of this system. First, if it is not absolutely necessary to use a knife, Americans don't use one, because obviously this greatly complicates(使復雜化) things, and you will therefore see them trying to cut things like potatoes, fish and even bacon(熏豬肉) with a fork. Second, towards the end of a course, since only one implement(器具) is being used, food has to do chased around the plate with the fork - and for the last mouthful the thumb has to be used to keep the food in place, although one is not supposed to do this.
這樣做有幾種結果。 首先，如果不是絕對需要用到刀， 美國人是 不用的。 因為這樣使得事情復雜化了。所以你就會(huì )看到他們用叉來(lái)切土豆， 魚(yú)， 甚至熏豬肉。其次， 由于只是用了一種器具， 在吃完一道菜時(shí)， 就要用叉來(lái)到處弄食物，最后一口往往就需要大拇指的幫忙， 雖然是不該用的。

Third, tables are generally laid with one knife and two forks, the outside fork being for the salad. There is no need for foreign visitors to follow the American system and try to eat the salad with only a fork, but if you do use your knife, remember to save it for the meat course.
第三， 桌上通常會(huì )放一把刀， 兩把叉， 外面的叉是用于吃色拉的。 外國人是不必跟美國人一樣試圖用一把叉來(lái)吃色拉。但是如果你用刀，記得用來(lái)切肉類(lèi)。
Even desserts(甜食) (except ice cream) are eaten with a fork if at all possible, and the spoon you see by your dessert is meant to be for coffee (but if you use it for your dessert no one will say anything).
在可能的情況下，甚至甜食(除了冰淇淋) 都用叉來(lái)吃，在你看到的甜品邊上的小勺是給你的咖啡用的(但是如果你用它來(lái)吃甜品，沒(méi)人會(huì )說(shuō)什么。
