Hi, Pamela:
Thanks, i learnt a new word
It is a very interesting topic. Hope i can make a list of chinese dishes here, . Well, to your points i 'd like to introduce some .

We have a variety of food cultures in China. People in the north prefer foods made from wheat. Interestingly The Yangtze River seems to become the line marking our custom diversities. We , the southern chinese ,enjoy much rice. In fact, there are many factors affecting people's food customs, such as discrepancies in locality, weather, population , science , productivity, natrual commodities and so on. You may know there is a famous region in China where products are rich, "The Yangtze Delta" (where i am located) , because the natrual conditions and weathers here are quite suitable for plantation. What's more, the transportation here is very convenient as a transit center in the east . Besides , many cities were the ancient Capitals like Nanjing, HangZhou . They helped to inherit and develop our glorious cultures including the food customs.

Southern foods emphasize the style, elegance and taste. Among them the Shanghai Food (the southeast) , SiCuan Food(the southwest) and GuangDong Dish(the south) are typical . Personally i prefer SiCuan Food . It's well-known that people in the southwest like to eat spicy foods. I don't know why we enjoy this kind of dish , may because of the weathers . There is a famous Basin in SiCuan Region , many mountains as well. Much moinstness and few sunlight compared with those in Plains. Spicy foods are healthy.

One of my favourite food is spicy chickens. It is easy to make . Materials are as follows:little chickens(500g) , pepper (cut into small pieces，enough but not so much or you will be very terrible ) , white wine (250g) , salt .
Step one: cut chickens into small pieces , put them into a plate and add the salt , the white wine as well. Then stir them together ( 20 minutes needed) . Make sure the chickens taste well.
Step two: fry chickens with peppers (those red pieces) , well, it is easy as what you do as usual at home, of course, you can add some gingers when frying them . Of course, water is neccessary (a little ).

I think this dish is very easy for you to make, but i am not sure whether you can get used to spicy foods.Few people enjoy eating spicy dishes. All depends on your taste. Of course, too much spicy foods are harmful to health. Remember to eat some sweet things (it will save you ) if you can't bear that so much,
Ok, talk to you later .

Hi

I'm a fan of lots of different cuisines. One of my favorite cuisines is Thai. There is a wonderful little Thai restaurant nearby and we go there extremely often. Yummy, yummy!

I agree with FangFang. Come on, Herc, give us some details about "Damascusian" cuisine!

I like all different kinds of cuisine.

If I had to eat Chinese food morning, noon and night, I'd be perfectly content.

I like Indian, Thai and Mexican food, but not every day.

If I married a Middle Eastern woman who served me Middle Eastern cuisine all the time, I'd run away from her and find something else to eat. Maybe I'd eat two days a week at home.

I also like good old American barbecued steaks.

I like Czech (and therefore Polish and Russian) food, but when I lived in the Czech Republic I started to go crazy after a while, because Czech food has a narrower range of textures than American food does. Everything was a variation on the bread texture, the meat texture, the potato texture and the sauerkraut texture, and it was rare, for example, to find things that were crunchy. Food that Czechs thought was spicy was not spicy.

I meet a lot of foreigners who say they hate American food, and when I ask them to explain, I find out that they think American food is only hamburgers. When I ask more questions, I find out that they've only had hamburgers at McDonald's, Burger King or Wendy's, and have never eaten what Americans think is a REAL hamburger.

And please, don't anybody make that stupid argument that there is no such thing as American food. There is.
