  It's always interesting to note the differences between how food is served/consumed in the country of origin versus how it is served/consumed in the global food system. For example, the article mentioned the differences between the types of alcohol sold in Chinese and American restaurants (stating that this is due to cultural differences regarding alcohol). Furthermore, the types of ingredients (and subsequently the taste), dining experience, and cooking methods varied greatly as the United States tends to simplify dishes (both in ingredients and cooking methods), while Chinese cuisine attempts to establish harmony between tastes, aromas, and colors (thus taking a longer time to produce). Since I've never been to China, the article definitely prepared my tastebuds for authentic Chinese food!
