俗话说的好“民以食为天”,在我们跟国际友人交往的时候,在多数情况下我们会各自介绍自己的美食文化。今天在这里我就来给大家介绍一下如何用英语来介绍我们中华美食文化,有需要的朋友可以收藏起来。
一、地方菜系
It's very nice of you to invite me.

I'm very glad you could come, Mr. Liu. Will you take a seat at the head of the table? It's an informal dinner, please don't stand on ceremony... Mr. Liu, would you like to have some chicken?

Thank you. This is my first time to come to a Chinese restaurant. Could you tell me the different features of Chinese food?
