食品习俗将受到不同社会和文化的影响。 例如，在中国庆祝生日的传统食物是面条和桃子。 受西方文化的影响，很多人在生日聚会上吃蛋糕，点蜡烛，唱生日歌。 有趣的是，有些人将传统和西方的方式结合在一起，同时吃面条和蛋糕。
Food customs will be affected by different society and culture each other. For example, the traditional food for celebrating one's birthday in China is noodles and peaches. Influenced by western culture, many people eat cake, light candles, and sing birthday songs at their birthday party. Interestingly, some people combine the traditional and western ways together, eating noodles and cake at the same time.
