More exciting, WeChat public account search "Wall Street English"
Assistant Mao Mao's parents came to Beijing for the Chinese New Year
It just so happens that the foreign teacher Peter is also alone
Mao Mao invited him to go shopping at the snack street with him
Let's go to snack streets.
Unexpectedly, Peter refused, and said
They are so boring!
No wonder Peter didn't want to go
It's just that this "snack" is not another "snack"!

Snacks ≠ snack
In the eyes of foreigners
snack
= Fast food snacks such as fries, potato chips, cola, etc
snack street？ A street sells these?
It's really weird and boring
But what are our snacks?
Beijing roast duck Xi'an meat sandwich steamed bun Guangzhou intestine powder Shanghai raw fried Sichuan Dan dan noodles Xinjiang large plate chicken
Compared with
Potato chips or something don't be too bad!
Foodies remember, we are like this
"Snacks" with regional characteristics and careful seasoning
Use that word
cuisine /kwɪ'zin/
(Snacks from different places, add the place name before the cuisine)
So, don't call our own hometown snacks snack

Snack Street ≠ Cuisine Street
Strictly speaking
It's really a street + street with specialty restaurants on both sides
That's the way it counts
cuisine street
For example, Xi'an's Muslim food street
The "food street" and "food city" on the third and fourth floors of the mall
It's not really a street or a city at all!
Should be called
food court/hall
Food Square
