  • 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.

  • Chinese Cuisine, Street Food and Restaurant Food Series: Food
    MEP student project – Chinese Cuisine, Street food and restaurant food Series: Food 1. Eating habits in China 1. (F) Chinese use chopsticks to pick up food. Knives are traditionally seen as violent in China, and breakers of the harmony, so are not provided at the table. Some restaurants in China have forks available and all will have spoons. If you are not used to chopsticks, you can ask the restaurant staff to provide you with a fork or spoon. 2. (T) Generally speaking, the seat facing to the door is prepared for the host. The most important guest is usually arranged to sit on the host’s left, while the second important guest is arranged to sit on the host’s right. 3. (T) Let older people eat first, or if you hear an elder say "let's eat", you can start to eat. 4. (T) Meat/vegetable dishes are served on plates or in bigger bowls, placed in the middle for everyone to share. It's not one plate each, like in the West (unless eating fast food)! 5. (F) After you have ordered, tea or a different drink and cold dishes will be served first. Hot dishes are then served one by one. Soup is often the last dish of a meal, followed by fruit for dessert. 6. (T) Ingredients of Chinese food are various and sometimes shocking to non-Chinese (frogs, chickens' feet, pigs' ears, intestines etc.). 7. (F) There are usually no salt or pepper shakers, or bottles of tomato sauce on the table. But in compensation you may find bottles of soy sauce, vinegar, and chili paste.

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.

  • Chop Suey As Imagined Authentic Chinese Food: the Culinary Identity of Chinese Restaurants in the United States
    UC Santa Barbara Journal of Transnational American Studies Title Chop Suey as Imagined Authentic Chinese Food: The Culinary Identity of Chinese Restaurants in the United States Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2bc4k55r Journal Journal of Transnational American Studies, 1(1) Author Liu, Haiming Publication Date 2009-02-16 DOI 10.5070/T811006946 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Chop Suey as Imagined Authentic Chinese Food: The Culinary Identity of Chinese Restaurants in the United States HAIMING LIU Introduction In the small hours of one morning in 1917, John Doe, a white laborer, strolled into the Dragon Chop Suey House at 630 West Sixth Street, Los Angeles, and ordered chicken chop suey. The steaming bowl was set before Mr. Doe by a grinning Japanese. “I won’t eat it,” barked Mr. Doe, “There’s no poultry in it.” The flying squad was called in and was happily annoyed at this midnight incident. The officers offered to act as a jury and demanded sample bowls of chop suey. The Japanese owner declined and Mr. Doe was free to go.1 The laborer demanded real meat, the officers wanted free meals, and the owner of this Chinese restaurant was actually Japanese, but everyone was thoroughly familiar with the concept of chop suey. As this story shows, by 1917 chop suey was a well‐known restaurant meal in America. Food is a cultural tradition. The popularity of Chinese restaurants reflects how an Asian cuisine was transplanted and developed in American society. Chinese migration was a transnational flow of people, social networks, and cultural values.

Trinity College Digital Repository, Hartford, CT. https://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/fypapers/63 Salute to the Kitchen Ritual A history of the transformation of Chinese food in America Shuxin Zhang A Chinese traditional style of steamed Chicken starts with dissecting the chicken. For dissecting, it is important for keeping the bones and flesh together, so that the bones can “help preserve the fresh flavor of the flesh”—that was what my dad told me. He is the most excellent chef in the world. As an international student, I consider cooking my own food as an essential way to link myself back to my own home while making my stomach happy. On a Saturday night, I was doing the dissecting in the dorm kitchen of Trinity College, while some other American students were watching a movie. I placed a whole chicken on my chopping board and began to use a huge knife to cut the joints. Joints were not easy to dissect, and I generated a loud thud which attracted the students’ attention. They shot me terrified looks with wide open eyes.

  • Indonesian Food Culture Mapping: a Starter Contribution to Promote Indonesian Culinary Tourism Serli Wijaya
    Wijaya Journal of Ethnic Foods (2019) 6:9 Journal of Ethnic Foods https://doi.org/10.1186/s42779-019-0009-3 REVIEW ARTICLE Open Access Indonesian food culture mapping: a starter contribution to promote Indonesian culinary tourism Serli Wijaya Abstract The food culture of Indonesia is shaped by several factors such as nature, history, and culture. With its enormous geographic and cultural diversity across the archipelagos, it is evident that Indonesian cuisine is rich in variety and taste. As such, food can be utilised as a strategic means to boost the tourism industry of the country. In the past 5 years, the Indonesian government has given a great support for the development of culinary tourism as one special interest tourism sector that is promoted extensively to the international market. Promoting Indonesian culinary tourism should not be merely exposing the ample varieties of the traditional food that Indonesia has, but more importantly, telling the market about the socio-cultural values behind the food itself. This study aimed to portray how Indonesian food culture has been shaped, developed, and held as the value embedded in the society and has been passed from one generation to the next. For the purpose of the study, a range of literature from journal articles, books, archives, magazines, and articles to Internet sources that are relevant to Indonesian culinary discussions was reviewed. Keywords: Food culture, Indonesian cuisine, Culinary tourism Introduction international visitors [5]. There are thousands of local Food plays a significant part in all aspects of human life, foods which potentially offer a strong focal point to por- including from fulfilling basic physiological needs to tray Indonesia as a tourism destination.
