It’s a TV program on Chinese delicious food and is produced by CCTV. Is there any holiday that isn’t celebrated with special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese food:

Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with its candles lit in many western countries. Since noodles mean long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut if off.

Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry see fish lying on the plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is a tradition to serve the whole fish last, pointed towards the most valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.

【推荐2】Pat has an unusual hobby. She makes cheese on the family farm in Australia. She began by making yoghurt (酸奶)with her mother when she was little. Then she started watching her father's workers make cheese. When she was ten, she made some herself for the first time. " It wasn't great," she says, " but the workers told me what I was doing wrong and that helped me to slowly get better. "

" Last month we started selling cheese in New Zealand. People there read about our prize in magazines. Soon we're going to do some advertisements, too. "

Pat’s next idea is to post some online recipes (菜谱) for cooking with cheese. “Our cheese is lovely with pizza—I hope a restaurant might buy some one day. But right now Pat is still at school.
