“吃”文化

When westerners go out to eat they do it a little differently than Chinese. It's common for Chinese to have some fruit after a meal. Westerns, however, might have dessert. Dessert is usually a sweet snack that's eaten after the meal. Some common desserts are cake, ice-cream, cookies and pie. However, it would be absurd to think that westerners have dessert after every meal! Dessert is not seen as an essential part of the meal, but as something extra. Some parents will even use dessert as a reward for their kids. Many westerners will have dessert only occasionally or may generally not have dessert at all!
    “吃”文化
    中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化中，吃文化別具一格，當(dāng)然與西餐不同！通常我們飯后會(huì)吃些水果。而西方，人在正餐后會(huì)吃些甜食(dessert)，如蛋糕、冰激凌、小甜點(diǎn)、餡餅等。但甜食并不是正餐的重要部分，也不是每餐必備的，只是附加的。
