As a person who had lived in his country for many years, it must be hard to forget his country’s culture. Suddenly, he had to move to a new country that he had never been in. That is me. I have been in Chicago for more than one year. I remember after I came to Chicago, something in my mind had been disappeared. I feel some of my cultures had been lost. Among the many rituals and customs, I think food is one of the most unforgettable things from my country.


Finally, I think the taste of the food has changed a lot here. I remember the day I came to the U.S. when I ordered fried rice from a restaurant. Fried rice just a simple Chinese food, but the taste was different from China. Not only the fried rice, but a lot of Chinese food has a different taste in this country. I think the most important reason is the Chinese restaurants cater to the public taste. In the U.S.., most people like to eat food with a strong taste. If the food’s taste is originally salty in my country, probably the food’s taste is a little salty in the U.S.. Likewise, if the food is sweet in my country, the food must be sweeter here.
Although I have been living in this new country for more than one year, it is really difficult to
find the aspects of the food like in my country. The traditional food, freshness, and taste has
become gradually lost. I really hope the food culture will not be totally lost in my new country,
especially in the Chinatown. Because this is a unique place to display my country’s unique
culture, and the culture of the food is a really important part of a country.
I think the "ginger pig knuckle in sweet vinegar" is available at Mountain View Chef Restaurant. I am not so sure, but I recall I did see it on their morning tea menu. You may go and check it out if you have time.
ReplyDeleteThe food we eat in U.S is all the frozen food. That's too bad. I missed the food from China too. Especially,the fresh food such as the swimming fish and seafood.
ReplyDeleteI think we can still find swimming fish in Chinatown. We should appreciate that we can find Chinatown in most countries. Some people can’t even find their country's restaurant.
