As costs in Shanghai rise, these cities are becoming the focus of new growth. Their distribution systems are developing, making large-scale import foods more practical. Yangzhou restaurant businesses have maintained a double digit rate of growth over the past ten years. While international retailers have opened more than a dozen stores in Yangzhou, imported product penetration is still in its infancy. Ready-to-eat products such as snack food, fruits and cookies dominate the market. With appropriate promotion, training and education events, more U.S. products could be accepted in the market. Introduction: The city of Yangzhou has been renowned throughout its 2,500-year history for its cultural and agricultural prosperity。 The Wu rulers had canals dug here in 500 BC which were later incorporated into the Grand Canal. Because of its position at the junction of the Yangtze, the Grand Canal and the Huaihe River, Yangzhou rapidly developed into a prosperous city. Many foreign merchants, including a community from Persia, lived and traded here, leaving a twelfth century mosque and the much-quoted but unsubstantiated tale that Marco Polo governed the city for three years.

  • The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

The history of Chinese cuisine in China stretches back for thousands of years and has changed from period to period and in each region according to climate, imperial fashions, and local preferences. Over time, techniques and ingredients from the cuisines of other cultures were integrated into the cuisine of the Chinese people due both to imperial expansion and from the trade with nearby regions in pre-modern times, and from Europe and the New World in the modern period. In addition, dairy is rarely—if ever—used in any recipes in the style. The "Eight Culinary Cuisines" of China[1] are Anhui, Cantonese, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangsu, Shandong, Sichuan, and Zhejiang cuisines.[2] The staple foods of Chinese cooking include rice, noodles, vegetables, and sauces and seasonings.
