People connect to their cultural or ethnic group through similar food patterns. People from different cultural backgrounds eat different foods. 1. ______ These food preferences result in patterns of food choices within a cultural or regional group.
Regional food habits do exist, but they also change over time. 2. ______ They may use their old recipes with new ingredients, or experiment with new recipes to match their own tastes. Because people and food are mobile, attempts to characterise a country or people by what they eat are often inaccurate.
In addition to impacting food choices, culture also plays a role in food-related etiquette (礼节). For example, the amount people eat and leave uneaten varies from culture to culture. Some people from Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian countries might leave a little bit of food on their plates in order to indicate that their hunger has been satisfied. 3. ______ Similarly, a clean plate might signify either satisfaction with the meal or desire for more food.
4. ______ Many families believe that mealtime is a good time to communicate and to "catch up" on the lives of family and friends. Among other families, talking during a meal is acceptable, but the topics are limited. In some Southeast Asian countries, it is considered polite to keep silent during a meal.
Even among people who share similar cultural backgrounds, eating patterns are not identical. Further, men eat differently from women. 5. ______ However, in most parts of the world, food is associated with expression of friendship. Therefore, sensitivity to food customs is important in cross-cultural communication.
