大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【中国美食】的话题。
中国的美食文化有很长的历史，每个地方的美食各有特点。例如，广东菜清淡、鲜美，讲究原汁原味；四川菜则以麻辣的口味著称，具有很强的口感。中国美食有八大菜系，除了广东的粤菜和四川的川菜，还有山东的鲁菜、江苏的苏菜、福建的闽菜、浙江的浙菜、安徽的徽菜和湖南的湘菜。
越来越多的外国人喜欢吃中国菜，在美国的中餐馆就有几万家。你知道吗？有一些在国外很有名的中国菜，其实根本不是中国菜。例如，左宗棠鸡（General Tso's Chicken）、幸运饼（Fortune Cookies）和虾片（Prawn Crackers）。就算是真正的中国菜，在国外的中国餐馆，老板一般会根据外国人的口味做一些改变。
如果你来中国旅游，你应该吃什么中国菜呢？最有名的中国菜应该是北京烤鸭吧，刚出炉的北京烤鸭，外皮香脆，肉却很嫩，让人忍不住想吃。如果你喜欢吃辣的，四川的麻婆豆腐你一定要试一下。麻婆豆腐给人的第一印象就是麻辣，麻来自花椒，辣来自辣椒面。配上一碗大米饭，让不爱吃辣的人都吃到根本停不下来。如果你来到四川，别忘了去吃火锅哦。如果你喜欢吃清淡的美食，欢迎来到广州。广州最有特色的是早茶，一边喝茶一边吃各种各样的点心，虾饺、烧卖、蒸排骨。如果你想挑战一下，可以试试蒸凤爪。很多外国人觉得吃鸡的爪子很奇怪，但是相信我，真的很好吃。
你最喜欢的中国菜是什么呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
