- 台灣的翻譯書真的很不錯,大大補足了香港的'不足',讓繁體字出版更為豐富。 - 本書的英文版寫於2009年,剛好是北点奧運後。不過譯成中文已是11年後的今年了。 - 讀著這書,我才(再一次)意識到自己對美國的陌生,我對美國的歷史進程不太了解,對地方也沒有多少概念(除了年...
评分昨晚拆的封,晚上就觉得很有意思,白天陪女儿击剑一直在看,终于看完了。从美国人第一次来华接触中餐,到尼克松来华访问,到2008年奥运会的美国人对中餐的态度。 其实整本书不止是中餐,还有历史,美国排华史,中美建交史。 反正我是搞明白了左宗棠鸡,以前在纽约,头一次听说...
评分已经忘了怎么样关注上《来份杂碎》这本书的,反正就躺在我豆瓣想读书目里面,可能只是觉得名字好玩,正好趁着京东满减的时候,买来一本翻翻,扔了也不可惜。万万没有想到的 是,这本书从头到尾都是惊喜。本应该是一本非常严肃的学术书籍却被作者写成了幽默短篇。 看到这本书的...

In 1784, passengers on the ship Empress of China became the first Americans to land in China, and the first to eat Chinese food. Today, the United States is home to more Chinese restaurants than any other ethnic cuisine. In this authoritative new history, author Andrew Coe traces the fascinating story of America's centuries-long encounter with Chinese food. CHOP SUEY tells how we went from believing that Chinese meals contained dogs and rats to making regular pilgrimages to the neighborhood chop suey parlor. From China, the book follows the story to the American West, where both Chinese and their food struggled against racism, and then to New York and that crucial moment when Chinese cuisine first crossed over to the larger population.
Along this journey, Coe shows how the peasant food of an obscure part of China came to dominate Chinese-American restaurants; unravels the truth of chop suey's origin; illuminates why American Jews fell in love with egg rolls and chow mein; and shows how Nixon's 1972 trip to China opened our palates to a new world of cuisine; and explains why we still can't get dishes like restaurants serve in China. The book also shows how larger historical forces shape our tastes—the belief in Manifest Destiny, the American assertion of military might in the Pacific, and the country's post-WWII rise to superpower status. Written for both popular and academic audiences, CHOP SUEY reveals this story through prose that brings to life the characters, settings and meals that helped form this crucial component of American food culture.
this books feels like a stew of chop suey.
评分Lucy Long 在Folklore的课上推荐的。。。
评分挺有意思
评分Nice history... Chop Suey is a great insultation on the American.
评分“ Whenever the discussion became a little too heated, or the Chinese felt that the Americans needed to unwind a bit, Zhou would suggest another duck dinner. ”北京烤鸭破冰中美关系,周总理认清了美国人的吃货本质啊。。。
