西方人吃什么?成天吃麦当劳吗?当然不可能！他们吃“西餐”。 所谓“西餐”,习惯上是指欧洲国家和地区,以及由这些国家和地区的人为主要移民的北美洲、南美洲和大洋州的广大区域的餐饮文化。 由于欧洲各国的地理位置较近,历史上多次出现过民族大迁徙,其文化,包括餐饮文化早已相互渗透融合,彼此已有很多共同之处。再有,西方人信仰的天主教、东正教、新教都是基督教的主要分支,因此在饮食禁忌进餐习俗上也大体相同,至于南、北美洲和大洋洲由于欧洲移民占大多数且占有主导地位,因此其餐饮文化也与欧洲基本相同。 Westerners eat? Eat McDonald’s all day? Of course impossible! They eat “Western food.” The so-called “western food” is customarily used to refer to the catering culture of European countries and regions as well as the vast regions of North America, South America and Oceania where emigrants from these countries and mainly migrate. Due to the relatively close geographical location of European countries, there have been many national treacherous movements in history, and their cultures, including the restaurant culture, have long been interwoven with each other and have had much in common with each other. Furthermore, Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity and Protestantism, which Westerners believe, are all major branches of Christianity, and therefore they are generally the same in terms of eating taboos. As for the majority and predominance of European immigrants in South, North America and Oceania, Food culture is also basically the same with Europe.
