After I had been to Northeastern University for two months, I start to have some feelings towards Western food.
As to me, during dining hours, usually I eat two pieces of pizza, pork/beef, some breads or cakes, one or two pieces of fish, a bowl of vegetables, and an egg. (the pizza here is fantastic) For drink, I prefer chocolate milk, soy milk, and cherry soda. Generally, I think American food tastes really good and looks much more simple than Chinese food. To my superise, most vegetable here are raw. On the contrary, I almost don't eat any raw vegetable (in Chinese food) before I came here. Besides, most food here are cold whereas most Chinese food should be eaten when it remains warm. A third difference is the dining style and untensils. I am still not used to eatting with a fork and knife.
In addition, American food is an integration of many styles of food which includes some aspects of Chinese food, Mexican food, Indian food, and Western food. Thus I really enjoy it and maybe I will try to learn to cook some of American food in the future.
Good observations, Glonin. It's great that you're being adventurous about the food and enjoying it! I think you'll find we eat lots of warm food too, and we often cook our vegetables--just maybe not so much in the hot summer. By the way, I really love Chinese food, especially the "real thing" in China--but I'm not so good with chopsticks!
