Feelings from Readin

China on the Tongue conveys profound Chinese culture to us from the perspective of diet. It is mentioned that there are differences and disputes between different food cultures. For example, preserved eggs, in the eyes of foreigners, are bad eggs. In their eyes, it is strange that we eat preserved eggs. They may even think that we eat bad eggs because we are poor. From another point of view, westerners' love of life will be cold meals like bread and sandwiches, while Chinese people will prefer rice and cooked food. These are differences in diet, which in the final analysis is cultural differences. When we face such differences, we should choose to respect and understand.
