War of The Worlds

Do you like Orange Chicken or meatballs? I love them both! That's why I decided to compare and contrast Chinese and Itailian food. I just love to go to Chinese and Italian restaurants and try foods or eat foods I love.


You may not have realized how many similarities there are between two completely different countries. Well, first of all they are both foods that did not orginate in America, but you can find Chinese and Italian restaurants all over the United States. Americans eat these delicious and amazing foods.


Chinese food is very different from your traditional hamburger and fries. First of all Chinese food comes from China. It is also packaged with symbols. If you go shopping at your regular Hy-Vee, you are going to find a whole case of Chinese food. Usually you order out Chinese food since it is hard to make because it needs such extreme heat. Some kinds of Chinese foods are Orange Chicken, Sesame Chicken, Egg Rolls, and Crab Rangoons.


Italian food has been highly influential on the American diet. Although it orginates in Italy. Italian foods could be anything to spagetti, pizza, pastas, and pitas. Wine is also a major part of the Italians diet. Espresso coffee is also a major part of a typical Italian person. Even though coffee orginated from Ethiopia. A majority of the pasta you eat for lunch or dinner comes from Italy.


So Chinese and Italian food have some simalarities you wouldn't necassarily think of off the top of your head. But then again they are still very different and don't originate from America.
