Opening page
2. What are the people doing
The guests are sitting at the tables sharing the food.
A man is shooting a video.
There are other people walking on the street.
3. Where and when do you think the photo was taken
Maybe it was taken in an ethnic minority village in the mountains of China. We can see tables laid end to end without a gap along the street like a long dragon, and local people are enjoying the long table banquet. The visual spectacle, made of assorted delicacies（各种美味佳肴） and people sitting together , is really breathtaking.
The photo is of a 1,000-Person-Long-Table Banquet(千人长桌宴) in the Miao Stockade village(苗寨) of One Thousand Households in Leishan, Guizhou. This feast has a tradition dating back over 1,000 years and is usually held for marriage celebrations and festivals. While traditionally it is a local family affair, in modern times this feast has sometimes been held on national holidays so that tourists can take part and enjoy the Miao culture.
The foods are all Miao delicacies, and include lamb, pork, beef, chicken, freshwater fish, and tofu dishes. The Miao are one of the largest ethnic minority groups in China. Nearly half live in mountain villages in Guizhou. They are famous for their traditional costumes, which include large silver headdresses for the women.

4. How do you understand the quote Can you give some examples of the different levels on which food brings people together
Food not only provides nutrition for people’s mental and physical health, but also plays an important role in maintaining their social and cultural bonds. So often people show and receive love through food. In this sense, food feeds both the body and the heart.
In a traditional society, cooking food is a way to show love to the family. The memories of the food, the old recipes, and the times spent together become treasured aspects of life.

3. What, if anything, do these cuisines tell you about the people who eat them
The cuisines certainly say something about the kinds of ingredients available to the people, and a lot about the kinds of flavours the people prefer.
Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826) was a French lawyer and politician who was also a great lover of food. He wrote numerous books on many subjects, but is best remembered for The Psychology of Taste in English. As a series of philosophical essays on the relationship between culture and food, this was one of the books which created the genre of food writing.
