, in many ways this seems to be true.Chinese cuisine is . Prior to coming to China, my only experience with Chinese cooking was in
America, with Chinese food that had been changed to American . For example, America's most popular Chinese dish is Tso's chicken, which
fried chicken in a sweet sauce, flavored with hot red peppers. This is probably not an Chinese recipe, however, so it cannot tell us much about the Chinese. . it does tell us a lot about Americans. It tells us, for example, that Americans love , simple flavours. And,
the dish was also invented recently, it tells us that Americans are not afraid to try new foods.

Para3: Retelling
Later, I had a chance to experience authentic Chinese food by coming to China. When my family and I had just arrived in China, we went looking for a good place to eat in Beijing. A Sichuan restaurant had been recommended to us by a friend, and finally, we found it. Tired, hungry, and not knowing a word of Chinese, we had no idea how to order, so the chef just began filling our table with the best food we had ever eaten. With this, we had the pleasure of experiencing an entirely new taste: Sichuan peppercorns. The food was wonderful and different, but what was even more important was the friendship offered us.
