The real difference is 4 in the West, you have your own plate of food, 5 in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone 6 . If you are being 7 to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you’re in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a 8 of many different types of dishes.

to have the staple food at last or have 15 of them at all.
