美国没有问题中提到的“餐饮代名词” 因为美国历史才几百年，从荒芜的大陆到英法人进入，发展至今，全部靠的是来自世界各地的移民，包括加拿大也是一样，各个民族把自己母国的饮食文化从世界各地带进了美国和加拿大，－－－所以说美国不会出现像日本料理，韩国料理，中餐等这样极具民族性的餐饮代名词，前面有朋友说叫西餐，这是不对的，西餐指的是所有西方国家的饮食模式，而不是单指美国

英美的饮食文化有什么不同啊

The main course served in American meals is usually meat, fish, or poultry, but rarely is more than one of these served at the same meal. Seafood is sometimes served as a first course, however. Most Americans eat breakfast and lunch quickly unless it is a social, business, or family occasion. The evening meal, however, is usually longer and a time for the family to gather together. Rushing through daytime meals is part of the fast pace in America. Another reason for rushing through daytime meals is that many people eat breakfast and lunch in restaurants that are usually crowded with people waiting for a place so that they, too, can be served and return to work at the proper time. So each one hurries to make room for the next person. As with busy people everywhere there is a real difference between a meal that is eaten in a hurry and one that can be enjoyed with friends during one’s leisure.

美国人吃米饭吗？

欧洲和美洲人一般都不吃水稻，这和他们的自然环境有关，欧洲和美洲都不适合种水稻，多产小麦，美国的小麦区有冬小麦和春小麦，并且是大规模生产，产量都很高，所以他们的主食就是小麦，也就是面包。
我们国家的小麦大多都是从美国进口的，因为我们国家生产小麦的成本比进口小麦花费的钱还多，不划算。
生产水稻的主要地区就是亚洲，印度是最大的水稻生产国。其次就是我们国家。这也是自然环境决定的，都受季风影响，才有这个条件。
现在因为文化交流，饮食文化也有很大的发展，并且中国是一个历史悠久的国家，对饮食早就研究了几千年，有许多经典的菜色，西方国家借鉴去并且和他们的饮食结合起来就产生了许多以米饭为特色的外国美食。
