吃火锅
    这是一个寒冷的冬夜，我们刚从纽约来，到了这里不过两个小时。我们和朋友一起，在北京一家四川火锅店吃饭。这是个典型的温暖、热闹、充满活力的地方。我回到了中国，感觉非常惬意。一个服务员把火锅放在我们面前，点着了火。我们正研究着里面都放了些什么，那沸腾的蒸汽和调料的味道就冲了上来。迎着火锅的热气，我们兴奋地满脸通红，期待着我们最爱的食物。
其实，并不是每个人都如此。我的男朋友和我一起来的中国，他只会停留很短的一段时间，这是他第一次来中国，我早就承诺带他吃经典的四川菜。他看上去有点迷惑，也许是因为坐飞机累了的缘故吧。
我的一个中国朋友把菜单递给我，让我点菜。服务员端来了几盘生食：有牛肉片、羊肉片、堆得很高的蘑菇，有很多西方人会觉得少见的蔬菜，以及一些很难辨认的小块滑溜的肉。在美国吃这种肉？我们想都不会想。
我给我男朋友解释说，火锅一边的锅底比较清淡，另一边的是辣椒油，里面全是辣椒，必须小心对待。然后我解释如何将各种配菜放到煮沸的锅里，烫熟，在各种调味酱中蘸一下，然后吃掉。   
很快，我们都自己动手开始吃了，相互分享最好吃的，同时闲聊我们假期都干了什么。但是，我男朋友的盘子是空的。我看到他夹起一片又一片，每一片都看一看，然后又放回锅里。
我问他：“你什么呢？”
他看上去很迷茫：“他们是怎么知道哪片是自己放进去的？我怎么才能到自己放进去的那些呢？”
我们大笑，然后我才意识到他是认真的。
后来，我又看了一眼我男朋友。他非常慢地咀嚼着，筷子停在半空中。他看上去满腹狐疑但脸上又挂着礼貌的微笑。
我问他：“又怎么了？你以前又不是没用过筷子！”
“不是，不是因为这个。我吃到的和我想象的不一样。”
虽然他面带微笑，但我还是能看出来他在想什么。我甚至可以听出来他吃的是什么东西，尽管周围很嘈杂。忽然，我想起了自己第一次在中国吃中餐的感觉。
我跟他解释说：“这不是曼哈顿唐人街的外卖中餐，那种中餐是根据西方人口味作了专门调整的，现在吃的才是真正的中国人吃的真正的中餐！”
我怎么会把他带到这儿来呢？这可是他在中国吃的第一顿饭！我真应该带他去上中餐初级班，就像他以前上中文初级班一样。
现在我在中国，吃真正的中餐已经成为一种习惯。可我第一次来的时候，不管上什么菜，我都硬吞下去，尽管我根本不喜欢吃，为的只是让主人开心而已。对于西方人来说，味道并不
是主要的问题。这里大部分菜的味道要么很熟悉，即使不熟悉也不至于难以下咽。问题出在食物给人的感觉。除了猪排和鸡翅之外，大多数西方人只想吃那些能用刀叉分解的食物。他们不想吮食出声，也不想没完没了地咀嚼。
但是，渐渐地，在中国住了几个月后，我意识到我喜欢的是中餐的这种感觉，这也是我在离开中国时所怀念的。现在，中餐已经使我感到贪馋了。   
我现在到了中国就像到了自己家一样，但我男朋友第一次吃真正中餐的经历还是吓了我一跳，也让他开始想家了。
