为什么中国家庭经常在美国经营中餐馆，提供美式中餐菜肴与传统的中国菜肴有所不同？

You're basically asking "why do Chinese restaurants in America serve food that Americans are more likely to buy?"

你基本上在问“为什么美国的中餐馆提供美国人更有可能购买的食物？”

It’s also the same in Asian countries. You can get Japanese-style Italian food in Japan and Taiwan more easily than authentic Italian. And Japan has Japanese-style Chinese.

Incidentally, there used to be an American-style Chinese restaurant in Shanghai called Fortune Cookie. It was pretty good.

在亚洲国家也是如此。在日本和台湾地区，你更容易找到日式意大利菜，而不是地道的意大利菜。日本甚至有日式中餐。

顺便说一句，在上海曾经有一家名为“幸运饼干”的美式中餐馆。味道相当不错。

I always assumed if I got stuck in a foreign land as an American I could at least make people hamburgers bc they seem pretty universal. Except maybe India.

我总是假设，如果我作为一个美国人被困在异国他乡，我至少可以给人们做汉堡，因为汉堡似乎很普遍。除了印度。

There are many hamburger places in East Asia, some owned by Americans.

However, they do not have Cincinnati chili and it’s pretty hard to find great bagels. Real American pit barbecue (eg Carolina or KC) is on the rise but it’s still not that widespread. I personally also feel that ice cream could be better (like old-timey creamy ice cream, not creative flavors or gelato). Chicago-style pizza is underdeveloped. Just some ideas for your venture.

东亚有很多汉堡店，其中一些是美国人开的。

然而，他们没有辛辛那提辣肉酱，很难找到优质的贝果。真正的美式坑烤（例如卡罗来纳或堪萨斯城）正在兴起，但仍不是很普遍。我个人还觉得冰淇淋可以做得更好（像老式奶油冰淇淋，而不是创意口味或意式冰淇淋）。芝加哥式披萨不发达。只是为您的创业提供一些想法。

Most places have some version of "slow cooking meat outdoors" so I could see how American style barbecue could gain traction in a lot of places.

The international success of KFC is genius because chickens are a pretty universal constant wherever you find humans. Chicken is acceptable under virtually all cultural dietary restrictions and they're very cheap to raise pretty much everywhere. They're also very useful for controlling insect populations.

大多数地方都有某种形式的“户外慢炖肉”，所以我可以看到美式烧烤在很多地方是如何获得吸引力的。

肯德基在国际上的成功是天才之举，因为无论在哪里，鸡都是一种普遍不变的食物。几乎所有的文化饮食限制都能接受鸡肉，而且鸡肉的饲养成本非常低廉，几乎在任何地方都能买到。它们对控制昆虫数量也非常有用。

One of the very best meals I ever had was at a KFC in London in 1983. I can’t explain it, just better!

我吃过的最好的一顿饭之一是1983年在伦敦的一家肯德基吃的。我无法解释，只是觉得比较好！

Oh that's very interesting! Do people eat much fried chicken American style? lol I'm the rural US and we don't have many asian food options really but people love it. It's pretty standard old school Chinese buffets or sushi but with options. But Vietnamese style Pho has become more popular and some Japanese Ramen restaurants. Being from the south we mostly eat pork or beef here. So a lot of BBQ!

哦，那太有趣了!美国人喜欢吃炸鸡吗?哈哈，我是美国农村人，我们没有很多亚洲食物可供选择，但人们喜欢亚洲食物。这是非常标准的老式中式自助餐或寿司，但有选择。但是越南风格的越南河粉和一些日本拉面餐厅变得更受欢迎。作为南方人，我们这里主要吃猪肉或牛肉。所以有很多烧烤!

-Do people eat much fried chicken American style?

Fried chicken is super popular in many parts of Asia, particularly Korea, Japan, and China.

-人们喜欢吃美式炸鸡吗?

炸鸡在亚洲很多地方都非常受欢迎，尤其是韩国、日本和中国。

I’ve been told that Korean fried chicken developed as a dish because of the large number of Black American soldiers that were stationed there. It’s a fusion of culture and cuisine. I don’t have any sources to corroborate this, but it seems plausible.

有人告诉我，韩式炸鸡之所以成为一道菜，是因为驻扎在那里的许多非裔美国士兵。这是文化和烹饪的融合。我没有任何来源证实这一点，但这似乎是可信的。

MukdenMan

I really do not believe this story. It just seems to reflect a stereotype of black people that is very prent in Asia. I think it’s feasible that the modern dish was partially inspired by American fried chicken though.

我真的不相信这个故事。它似乎只是反映了一个在亚洲非常普遍的关于黑人的刻板印象。我认为现代这道菜可能部分灵感来自美式炸鸡。

It sounds kind of like the story my dad told me of carbonara originating when GIs asked the Italians for bacon & eggs.

这听起来有点像我父亲告诉我的关于培根蛋面的故事，起源于美国大兵向意大利人索要培根和鸡蛋时。

Wikipedia says it was a Korean who studied in the US in the 1970s who introduced fried chicken as it is now so kinda? I can imagine with all the US soldiers in Korea that would certainly help boost initial sales and/or interest.

维基百科上说，20世纪70年代在美国学习的一位韩国人将现在的炸鸡引入韩国，所以有点道理吧？我可以想象，在韩国有那么多美国士兵，这肯定有助于初始销售和/或兴趣的增长。

I’m in Taiwan where fried chicken is very important. There are several styles including xiansuji.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwanese_fried_chicken

Of course fried chicken, of a different style, is also popular in Korea and you can easily find Korean fried chicken in Japan and Taiwan too. If you haven’t had Korean Fried Chicken, you can find a place in the US.

Then there is KFC which is everywhere (you may have heard about KFC for Christmas in Japan, which has spread to other parts of Asia). There is also Popeyes in Japan but not in Taiwan.

我在台湾地区，炸鸡非常重要。有几种不同的风格，包括咸酥鸡。

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwanese_fried_chicken

当然，韩式炸鸡也很受欢迎，在日本和台湾地区也很容易找到韩式炸鸡。如果你还没有尝试过韩式炸鸡，你可以在美国找到一家店。

然后有肯德基（KFC），它无处不在（你可能听说过在日本圣诞节吃肯德基，这已经扩散到亚洲其它地方）。日本也有popeyes炸鸡，但在台湾地区没有。

Oddly enough, I live on a very rural island in the northern US and all we have are Chinese and Mexican restaurants. They're not very good, but for some reason that's all we have!

奇怪的是，我住在美国北部一个非常偏远的岛上，我们只有中餐馆和墨西哥餐馆。它们都不是很好，但出于某种原因，那就是我们唯一能找到的。
