Chinese cuisine ( Traditional Chinese:中国菜,Simplified Chinese:中国菜) originated from the various regions of China and has become widespread in many other parts of the world — from East Asia to North America,Australia,Western Europe and Southern Africa。Regional cultural differences vary greatly amongst the different regions of China,giving rise to the different styles of food。There are eight main regional cuisines,or Eight Great Traditions (八大菜系):Anhui,Cantonese,Fujian,Hunan,Jiangsu,Shandong,Sichuan,and Zhejiang。Among them,Cantonese,Sichuan,Shandong,and Huaiyang cuisine (a major style and even viewed as the representation of the entire Jiangsu cuisine) are often considered as the standouts of Chinese cuisine and due to their influence are proclaimed as the Four Great Traditions (四大菜系)。Occasionally Beijing cuisine and Shanghai cuisine are also cited along with the aforementioned eight regional styles as the Ten Great Traditions (十大菜系)。There are also featured Buddhist and Muslim sub-cuisines within the greater Chinese cuisine,with an emphasis on vegetarian and halal-based diets respectively。European cuisine could simply mean as culinary styles from countries in Europe in the Western world。A collective definition of European cuisine ,or alternatively Western cuisine is a generalized nomenclature for people especially from South,East and Southeast Asian countries referring collectively to the cuisines of the Western countries including Europe,Russia,North America,and Australasia,Oceania,and Latin America 。This term is rarely used in the West except in the context of contrasting with Asian styles of cooking [1]。It is analogous to Westerners referring collectively the cuisines of Asian countries as Asian cuisine。The cuisines of Western countries are diverse by themselves,although there are common characteristics that distinguish Western cooking from cuisines of Asian countries [2]。Compared with traditional cooking of Asian countries,meat is more prominent and substantial in serving,and Westerners traditionally have a far more in depth knowledge concerning specific methods of preparing and serving different cuts of meat than Asians[3]。Steak in particular is a common dish across the West。Western cuisines also put in substantial emphasis on sauce (or called gravy in meat dishes) as condiments,seasonings,or accompaniments due to the difficulty of seasonings penetrating larger pieces of meat used in cooking。Plenty of dairy products are utilized in the cooking process,except for the nouvelle cuisine days [4]。Spices are more prominent than many East and Southeast Asian cuisines due to the heavy use of meat [5]。Carbohydrate staples play a more minor role than Asian cuisines。Restaurants advertised to be specializing in generic Western cuisine in Asia tend to have menus containing a mixture of dishes mainly from France,the English-speaking world,and Germany。Since the early 1990s dishes from Italy and Spain have become more prominent on these restaurants' menus。Eastern European cuisines Belarusian cuisine Bulgarian cuisine Czech cuisine Hungarian cuisine Jewish cuisine Polish cuisine Romanian cuisine Russian cuisine Slovak cuisine Slovenian cuisine Ukrainian cuisine Northern European cuisines British cuisine English cuisine Scottish cuisine Welsh cuisine Anglo-Indian cuisine Modern British cuisine Nordic cuisine Danish cuisine Finnish cuisine Icelandic cuisine Lappish cuisine Norwegian cuisine Swedish cuisine Irish cuisine Latvian cuisine Lithuanian cuisine Southern European cuisines Albanian Cuisine Bosnian cuisine Croatian cuisine Cypriot cuisine Gibraltarian cuisine Greek cuisine Greek Macedonian cuisine Italian cuisine Cuisine of Sicily Slav Macedonian cuisine Turkish cuisine Montenegrin cuisine Portuguese cuisine Serbian cuisine Spanish cuisine Andalusian cuisine Asturian cuisine Aragonese cuisine Balearic cuisine Basque cuisine Canarian cuisine Cantabrian cuisine Castilian-Manchego cuisine Catalan cuisine Galician cuisine Leonese cuisine Valencian cuisine Western European cuisines Austrian cuisine Belgian cuisine Dutch cuisine German cuisine French cuisine Basque cuisine Catalan cuisine Luxembourgian cuisine Swiss cuisine
