This article is about America's thoughts about Asian cuisine and how these thoughts have recently been changing. The article states that America no longer just thinks of an eggroll when thinking of asian food, but instead thinks of Indonesian, Malasian and Filipino foods.
I feel that Chinese (better, American Chinese food) is known for as greasy and heavy. With America's known trend to be healthy and fit, they are paying more attention to this the authetic Chinese and other Asian foods because they are less heavy and such. Also, America is becoming a nation of "Foodies." People like to try new things and people's palates are changing. Just like the beef discussed in class, American's want better quality and more authetic foods.

This article is true when is says that "Asian national cuisines new to mainstream American palates are emerging at the heart of the U.S. quick-serve industry lately". Most american like asian food because it fast and you can find more than one every where yu go.
ReplyDeleteI believe this is a fad only because I have seen so many times where new spins on asain cuisine have been taken (example wendy's sweet and spicy boneless wings)and it is very popular for a while because it is cheaper than going to an actual asain restaurant. I do agree that Chinese food from China is actually better than American Chinese food because the things they serve us here you can't get over there. Asain cuisine is very light and ours is heavy so maybe from a health perspective this is a trend, but overall it's a fad.
