Good morning ladies and gentlemen, it’s great honor standing here to give you a brief introduction of food, and today we will mainly focus on the Chinese food. As a saying goes, “Fashion is in Europe, living is in America, but eating is in China”, the phrase is a testament to the popularity of Chinese food around the world. Food is an important part of daily life for Chinese people. Chinese not only enjoy eating but believe eating good food can bring harmony and closeness to the family and relationships. Food has a special meaning to the Chinese people. The waste not, want not ethos means that a surprising range and variety of plants and animals, and every part of a plant or animal is used. This has given rise to a remarkable diversity in the regional cuisine, but to Westerners it can be overwhelming--surprising, fantastic, delicious, horrifying or disgusting --and above all, different. Chinese people in general are not as concerned about nutrition as Western culture. They are more concerned with the foods texture, flavor, color, and aroma. These are the crucial points for good Chinese cooking. Chinese daily meals consist of five food groups: grains, vegetables, fruit, meat and dairies. Now，we will introduce these groups. First of all, please allow me to introduce the Grains Category. It’s our principal food which means most of our energy comes from the grains category. In the north of China, people prefer the product made from millet or barley. Such as noodles and steamed buns. And people live in the south of China like the rice.
