Chinese students in the UK now can get a “taste of home” in their school canteens (餐厅).

The UK has 150 000 Chinese students and more than 89 000 of them are in higher education. Now college kitchens are adapting (修改) menus to provide Chinese food for these students.

In the last week of January, Scot Girvan, a cook at the University of Glasgow, introduced some new dishes more suitable for the Chinese taste.

The University Caterers Organization (大学备办食物组织) found that menus should fit Chinese students after the 11-day trip in September last year. During the trip, fourteen TUCO members visited Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong. They learned that Chinese food was different in every place, and offering menu choices from both the north and the south of China was important. At Beijing University’s Nong Yuan canteen, for example, over 350 different dishes are prepared daily and 4700 lunches served.

Inspired (启发) by the Chinese food, Girvan and other TUCO members returned home to carry out the lessons they had learned.

Girvan said he was confident that this would be the case.

Usually Indian children wear white to school. However, on their birthday children wear colored clothes to school and give out chocolates to everyone in the class. Their best friends help them to do this.
