In 1784, passengers on the ship Empress of China became the first Americans to land in China, and the first to eat Chinese food. Today, the United States is home to more Chinese restaurants than any other ethnic cuisine. In this authoritative new history, author Andrew Coe traces the fascinating story of America's centuries-long encounter with Chinese food. CHOP SUEY tells how we went from believing that Chinese meals contained dogs and rats to making regular pilgrimages to the neighborhood chop suey parlor. From China, the book follows the story to the American West, where both Chinese and their food struggled against racism, and then to New York and that crucial moment when Chinese cuisine first crossed over to the larger population.
Along this journey, Coe shows how the peasant food of an obscure part of China came to dominate Chinese-American restaurants; unravels the truth of chop suey's origin; illuminates why American Jews fell in love with egg rolls and chow mein; and shows how Nixon's 1972 trip to China opened our palates to a new world of cuisine; and explains why we still can't get dishes like restaurants serve in China. The book also shows how larger historical forces shape our tastes—the belief in Manifest Destiny, the American assertion of military might in the Pacific, and the country's post-WWII rise to superpower status. Written for both popular and academic audiences, CHOP SUEY reveals this story through prose that brings to life the characters, settings and meals that helped form this crucial component of American food culture.
最早把中餐带入美国,主要是来自珠三角的劳工群体,饮食多是各种可用食材采用乱炖做法烹制,再加上各种以讹传讹,中餐蛇虫猫鼠无所不吃,让美国主流群体对中餐避之不及。中餐进入美国主流视线主要得益于几个因素 一是潮流群体的尝鲜。19世纪末,美国处于镀金时代中期,城市处处...
评分昨晚拆的封,晚上就觉得很有意思,白天陪女儿击剑一直在看,终于看完了。从美国人第一次来华接触中餐,到尼克松来华访问,到2008年奥运会的美国人对中餐的态度。 其实整本书不止是中餐,还有历史,美国排华史,中美建交史。 反正我是搞明白了左宗棠鸡,以前在纽约,头一次听说...

挺有意思的小书,从鸦片战争前美英去中国做贸易讲起,一直到中国奥运让老外认识新的中餐,一百多年过去了,虽然在美国有了湖南菜四川菜台湾菜粤菜京菜,但是很多美国人的印象仍然是那几个,牛肉西兰花,左宗棠鸡,宫保鸡丁.....便宜量大。书中亮点除了李鸿章访美外,还有尼克松访华被承诺绝对不上海参,和被烤鸭迷得顺魂颠倒及召集全白宫访华人员学习用筷子,最为有趣。
评分挺有意思
评分懂得欣赏中餐之美味还是要有一个中国胃
评分趣味横生,也不算小书哇,电子书8个多小时呢..其中有讲到犹太人开中餐馆的趣事,中餐已经进化到非常流行的年代了..chop suey真心好吃啊蔬菜又多
评分很可爱的一本书~
