Chinese people are， quite rightly， proud of their food. However， when foreigners likeBritons and Americans think of Chinese food， their impression of it is different to what youmight think.

Because I was growing up in the UK， the Chinese food I was used to eating was food Inow recognize as being from Guangdong. For example， a typical dish I would order wouldbe pork in sweet and sour sauce， probably with some rice and spring rolls on the side. Thisis the type of food we generally eat because most Chinese immigrants to the UK have comefrom Guangdong. You can tell， because when most British people try to copy the sound ofChinese， they actually copy the sound of Guangdong people—hearing the real putonghua issometimes a shock to British people who have grown up thinking it sounds completelydifferent！

British attitudes to Chinese food may be changing， though. ChineseAmerican chef Ken Hom has been on British TV more than 30 years， and he said，“ Chinese food at the beginningof the 80s （in the UK） was sweet and sour pork， mainly. Most Brits had the unchangeableview on Chinese food. Now you are seeing more local Chinese food fromSichuan， Hunan and other areas of China. It is no longer just Guangdong food.” Similarly，to most Americans， Chinese food doesn't go too far past orange chicken and fortune cookies，but more Chinese local dishes are becoming successful， especially in big cities likeNew York.

Attitudes have not quite changed completely， though. Many foreigners who live inChina will be familiar with this question from a relative back at home，“ Have they givenyou dog meat yet？” Yes， perhaps because people still know too little about Chinese culture，many people believe that Chinese people love to eat dog meat. And of course， some peopledo eat dogs， which to Americans is like“ eating a member of one's family” according toVision Times. Also， Chinese people eat many other things people in the West do not—chicken claws， duck heads and some animals' organs.

But what do foreigners think when they come to China and taste real Chinese food？You'll be glad to know that in my experience， the impressions have been very good.
