Topic Reading-Vol.2851-1/31/2020

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
What is your favorite dish for spring festival?
January 25 was supposed to be the day to celebrate a new year in China. However, because of the coronavirus outbreak, many of them missed the chance to make the traditional family reunion and enjoy the festive meals together. While most foreigners think Chinese food is Chinese food, there are so many kinds of food traditions in Chinese cuisine. For example, the Four Great Traditions, Huaiyang cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Shandong cuisine, and Sichuan cuisine dominate the culinary heritage of China. But there are many more local cooking styles and dishes across the country. Unlike many other countries that have one special dish for a certain occasion, like Thanksgiving turkey in the US and new year’s Osechi in Japan, Chinese people celebrate the spring festival with traditional local and family dishes, some of which are not so popular to foreigners. Can you name any of them?
Enjoy reading the article and seeing the photos of 12 traditional New Year Eve dinners selected by China Daily.
