With the great differences in the climate, geographical environment, and historical and cultural development of different regions, Chinese cuisine culture is extensive and profound with unique characteristics. China has local cuisine, imperial dishes, dishes of ethnic minorities, Islamic dishes with a strong religious flavor and vegetarian dishes.

Let me tell you something about Chinese foods and English foods. There are a lot of differences between Chinese foods and English foods. Firstly, we Chinese eat rice mainly while English people have fish and chips. Secondly, the variety of Chinese foods is much more than English foods. Thirdly, Chinese foods usually need more time to cook while English foods such as sandwiches and burgers are much more convenient to make. Besides above, more differences could be found if you search on the Internet. I personally like Chinese foods better.
