Are you an eatinglover？Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world？Then do you watch the popular program A Bite of China？It's a TV program on Chinese delicious food which has been produced by CCTV. Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with special festival food？Here are several traditional Chinese foods：
Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture.They are as much a part of Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with its candles lit in many Western countries.Since noodles mean long life，it is considered very unlucky to cut the noodles off.
Although Westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on the plate，in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness.In fact，at a party it is a tradition to serve the whole fish last, pointed towards the most valued guest.Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish，yu，sounds like the word for richness or plenty，and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.
A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is zongzi.This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat，peanuts or other delicious foods in bamboo leaves.The tradition of zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man，Qu Yuan in Chinese history.

Foods that are well known to you may not be familiar to people from different places around the world. Tourists and travelers often get to try some unfamiliar food. That is part of the fun of traveling. Here are four people’s experiences with foreign food.
| David King is a Chinese student in France. “I never had cheese or even milk before I came to France. Cows are seldom seen in my part of China. So there is no milk or milk products. I drank some milk when I first arrived in France. I hated it! I tried cheese, too, but I didn’t like it. I love ice cream, though that’s made from milk.” |
| Birgit is from Sweden. She traveled to Australia on vocation. “I was in a restaurant that was special in fish. I heard some other people order flake, so I ordered some, too. It was delicious! Later, I learned that flakes is an Australian name for shark. Now, whenever I see a new food, I try it on purpose. You know why? I remember how much I enjoyed flake.” |
| Chandra is a dentist in Texas. She is from India. “ I’m afraid to try new foods because maybe there is beef in them. I’m a Hindu(印度教信徒)and my religion(信仰) stops me from eating meat from the cow. That’s why I can’t eat hamburgers or noodles with meatballs.” |
| Nathan is from the United States. He taught for a year in China. “My friend gave me some 100-year-old eggs to eat. I didn’t like their appearance at all. The eggs were green inside, but my friends said the color was normal. Chinese people put something on fresh eggs. Then they put them in the earth for three months. So the eggs weren’t really very old. Even so, I didn’t want to touch them.” |
