A: I know you've been eating Chinese food all the time since you've been here, don't you miss your French food?
B: Not so much. There are Chinese restaurants all over France, so I was already used to it before I came here.
A: Really? Chinese cuisine has a variety of special flavors. Which one do you like best?
B: Actually, I like them all. I seldom identify the place the food comes from.
A: I see. Generally speaking, the food is light in South and heavy in North. And there are also some places that are known for having spicy food.
B: Oh, I like spicy food, but as far as I know, Sichuan food is too spicy.
A: I cannot agree with you more.
A: 要知道,自从你来到中国以来一直吃中国菜,难道你不怀念自己国家的法国菜吗?
B: 还好啊。法国到处都有中国餐馆,所以来之前我就已经习惯中国菜了。
A: 真的吗?中国菜有不同的地方风味。你最喜欢吃哪个地方的菜呢?
B: 实际上,我都喜欢。我很少分得出食物来自哪个地方。
A: 这样啊。一般来说,南方菜清淡,北方菜味重,还有一些地方以麻辣的食物而闻名。
B: 对了,我喜欢吃辣一点儿的菜,但是据我所知,四川菜太辣了。
A: 我完全同意你的看法啊!
