Western vs Chinese food culture


Recommended Posts

“There is a saying that western culture is born of the relationship between man and woman, while Chinese culture has grown from the enjoyment of food”.

This is from the preface of the book “Food and Chinese Culture”, in english by Long River Press, California, and Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House , 2005, and i am wondering what the origin of the saying is, and the author if indeed there is one. Is it a well-known saying (that i don't know)?

i'll get in touch with the pub house and author if no one here knows, but i thought egullet would be quicker--i mean: egulleteers know EVERYTHING when it comes to food.
