I taught adults in China (corporate training). I asked one course participant if she liked Western food. Her answer? "I don't like McDonalds". Curious about her very specific answer, I asked a bit more and found out that McDonalds was the only food from another country that she had ever eaten. She was under the impression that McDonalds represented the best of Western cuisine. I was flabbergasted!

@@michaelvallin55 Indeed! The grocery store is a fantastic place to source raw materials to cook (if you know how to look for the stuff you need!) While you could definitely cobble something together using foods from the local grocery store in the "Western style," you won't be finding many (if any) Western brands, and the store might be missing just one or two things, which isn't a big deal if you know what you're doing, but do you? Just as an example, in the town I used to live, the grocery store (and all of the stores around) did not have butter. That's right, no butter; had to make a deal with a local baker to buy giant kilo hunks of unsalted baking butter. The butter I ordered on Taobao kept arriving in an unideal state because butter melts whether you want it to or not and none of the little 快递 delivery three-wheelers have refrigerators. (Cold food from Taobao is packed in lots of disposable ice packs.) And in keeping with your theme yeah, you could also make your own butter but that's... a lot of trouble to do... Plus you kinda have to get over the milk being stored and sold at room temperature (even when you know it's safe it's still disconcerting.) For most Western food, you've got to use Taobao, cross your fingers and hope to goodness that you're getting something real as opposed to counterfeit fakes (yes, some people actually sell fake foodstuffs in China.) All that said, your chances of finding/making Western food are better at the grocery store than at ANY restaurant because even the stuff that's labeled as western style is decidedly not. If you're determined, nothing is impossible! But there really are no quick and easy, effortless options at all.

After a few days of this we decided to forego the group dinners and explore on our own. The reaction of the others was interesting - "Oh, wow, did you manage to find any good food?"

I am very convinced through my own reading that it’s a mixture of: - Arrogance… not in a rude way, but let’s use France for an example. The term restaurant, chef etc. is a hint as to why rich people associated France with “luxury” food no matter how strange it was. So when I say arrogance, I mean English people thinking that French chef = peak performer. This is obviously false, the easiest proof being English footballers. But eurocentrism has spread this perception to all the Anglo nations and Asia - Climate. I mean that is obviously the biggest factor. It really isn’t a coincidence that the Mediterranean suspiciously includes almost every Catholic country mentioned, and Protestants being north of Europe. - Their respective Renaissance’s: Catholic countries with art, food, fashion, Protestant countries with music, literature, technology/science

@@XXXTENTAClON227 I think the French "high class" assocation is from 1066 in English history. The French-speaking Normans become Kings and Lords, while the common people still spoke Germanic languages. That's why animals have different names on the farm and on the plate (cow/beef etc.) and English has "common" and "posh" words for so many things. (I laughed hearing a French guy tell his dog to "descendre" (get down!) from the dinner table... sounds so posh to my ears, but common to them) Climate might be a factor, but in today's world I don't dare say it, because if the idea is extended globally, you'll be called a racist by online weirdos I'm not expert, but I never learned that the renaissance was so split (e.g. Galileo in Italy etc.) I think the contrasting religions must be a factor too - Catholicism: I'm the Pope; I know everything; do what I say - Protestantism: Find your own way to God

Years ago, as a student in England, there were a few Chinese students staying in the same dorm as me. We shared a kitchen and one day I had the pleasure of being invited to join in a meal with them. I asked what they missed most about China and the response was “the food.” Everything to me at the meal was Chinese so I asked what they meant. “Weren’t we eating Chinese food?” I asked, and someone said, “Yes, but we buy meat that looks like chicken, cooks like chicken, but it doesn’t taste like chicken.” I then said, “That’s how I am with Coca-cola” and everyone laughed. Personally, I find it rather closed minded when people assert that a certain cuisine is “the best.” I love my mom’s cooking, but IMO, anyone who thinks their mother’s cooking is the best for any other reason than it is from mom needs to travel more.

Indonesian... Italian... Malaysian... Greek... Portuguese... Bangladeshi... Thai... Japanese... Spanish... French... Vietnamese... Pakistani... Brazilian... Lebanese... Latvian... Polish... Turkish... Korean... Taiwanese... Cuban... Sri Lankan... Ghanaian... Somalian... Sudanese... Filipino... Maltese... Mexican... Caribbean. As well as many many more... In most UK Cities... There are areas that you can visit... Such as the "Curry Mile"... Or somewhere like "Chinatown"... Where they will offer visitors a huge variety of tasty and authentically made high quality Chinese Cuisine... So there's no genuine reason for her to starve herself while visiting the UK... Especially if she really doesn't like British food... There are always options!... Her video was just to gain sympathy from other like minded Chinese Cuisine lovers... Personally...

Vegetable or meat fat depending on civilisation. So she may have managed to gain even eating less. I have also tried chinese food from authentic chinese chef who speak chinese and look like chinese and taste wise chinese food is not anything special beyond one or two meal. The secret to their food nationalism/connection lies in the style of cooking, the smell the food attains while serving the looks of the food etc. Honestly I did not find anything special about the taste but presentation is very good. Even a basic menu item is served perfect. I think shes missing the taste as well as the experience.

I can see how people and cultures who have been separated for thousands of years can diverge in their diets, causing enough differences that people from one culture have difficulty making the jump over to the food of another. Times are more cosmopolitan, and perhaps those difficulties will eventually fade away, but until that time, I can see how an Asian person could find "disgust" in Western food. Completely understand.

Travelled a lot in China for work and on arriving in a new city/province the best way to get off on the right foot was to say how much you enjoyed their local dishes. Use their provincialism and nationalism to your advantage 😄

That's Chinese food designed for westerners, not real Chinese food. In America some Chinese restaurants have a different menu for actual Chinese people.

@@tonydevos Look man I am not sticking up for the crying chick. I am just telling you how I understand it. Western Chinese restaurants came up with completely different dishes to appeal to our pallets. Chinese people don't usually like western chinese food cooked by their own people. Hence the second menu.

Thanks Laoma! Eat hot food and drink hot water, then stay in a house with no AC! Welcome to China... where they like to stay warm and toasty. :)

Chinese food has a few really good dishes, and gets a good rep for that. But the truth is, much of Chinese 'cuisine' is very mediocre and some is even below mediocre. I think I need to make a video covering this.

Maybe if she switches to a diet of pure ice cream (Chinese are crazy about ice cream) she'll start losing weight. She could have a different flavor for each meal. :)

Yes definitely bullshit for likes. England has food from all over the world including China. She obviously hasn't even tried many other foods. I haven't lived in UK for many years but still miss a Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding, Cottage Pie and for dessert Apple Crumble with hot custard or a Trifle. Why so many Chinese have to record themselves crying about their various problems and putting it online?

Yeah, she didnt gain weight not eating. Audience capture is a real problem for all content creators though. Example, I am of Polish decent and support Ukraine, but had to stop following most pro Ukrainian channels because it became obvious they were lying about a lot of stuff to make their audience happy.

@@86laowhy80 Not true at all. Just because I don’t focus solely on the positive doesn’t mean that I am a hater. I have a lot of respect and admiration for China and generally feel most people don’t give it credit where credit is due. I fully recognize that I’d never make it in China because I enjoy my free time way too much and tend to have opinions deemed unsavory by the current regime. Otherwise, I’d stop living vicariously through other people and go there myself.
