However, when foreigners like Britons and Americans think of Chinese food, their impression of it is different to what you might think.Growing up in the UK, the Chinese food I was used to eating was food I now recognize as being from Guangdong. For example, a typical dish I would order would be pork in sweet and sour sauce, probably with some rice and spring rolls on the side. This is the type of food we generally eat because most Chinese immigrants(移民) to the UK have come from Guangdong.

You’ll be glad to know that in my experience, the impressions have been very good.4. Why are some Briti。
