文明服务，文明点餐，这其实就是餐饮文化的精髓之一。悠悠万载事，上下五千年。餐饮文化源远流长，各领风骚。在中国，一提起食物，we are most probably interested in the color, smell and taste of our food. Taste is especially important when we Chinese think about food。然而在美国，一提起食物，人们更多想到的是健康饮食的问题。That's why they care about the high calorie or low calorie content of their food. If they take more calorie than necessary, they think they might become fat and they don't want that. They like organic food with no addictives because they think that kind food is more natural and thus is good for health。

此外，即便就在中国，不同地区的饮食习惯也不尽相同。The center of the Chinese meal is fan, or grain. In the South and among urban families in other areas, the fan may be rice or rice products, as in the North the wheat is eaten in the form of cooked whole grains, noodles, or bread. 而且，大江南北的名菜名点也是各具风味。从Peking Roast Duck 的名字就不难看出烤鸭是北京的招牌菜。有朋自远方来，是不是该略尽地主之仪呢？为了避免你在介绍家乡名菜的时候打磕巴，我们先向你详细介绍北京烤鸭。你要留心介绍这道菜肴的方法和步骤，依葫芦画瓢，你也就可以向你的客人显摆家乡的名菜啦！

How it is served At Quan Ju De, ducks are immersed (浸入) in condiments (调味品) unique to the restaurant and are roasted directly over flames stoked by fruit-tree wood. What it looks like The best roasted duck is date-red, shining with oil, but with a crisp skin and tender meat. How it is served The chef (厨师) then cuts the meat into thin slices, each having a piece of skin. Then the meat is served with very thin pancakes (薄饼), Chinese onions and special sauce. The way to eat it is to coat the thin pancake with sauce, slap on a few pieces of meat and roll up the pancake.
