.....非常不認同，想必兄台沒在歐美吃過中餐
以歐洲北美來說，中餐價格絕對不會相當昂貴，一般來說會比當地餐還要便宜
食材也很少是從台灣大陸進口，有東方人的地方就有東方人的超市.
不管超市是韓國人日本人中國人台灣人，還是香港人又或是越南人開的
中餐的食材一定找得到，也不會貴到哪裡去.
不過一般來說菜色就只有那幾樣，麻婆豆腐.芥藍牛.佐公雞.甜酸肉.雞肉串
但旅行社的說法
1.怕團員們不適應西方的飲食(或是西方飲食很難吃)，所以安排中式菜餚
這樣說其實沒有錯，我就知道有嘉義公廠的工程師去拉斯維加斯參展可憐到吃泡麵
喝礦泉水，因為美國食物吃不慣，中壯年的漢子都這般了，你說跟團的阿公阿媽級的勒?
2.以當地物價角度來看，除非是高級/有名的中國館，中餐肯定比較便宜
日本我個人沒去過就不在此做評論了，不過若團隊中偶有自由行程，
是不妨自己去找當地的餐館，便宜我看很...

0. 吃了兩三天披薩, 漢堡, 炸雞, 可樂和薯條之後 .... 有個麻婆豆腐.芥藍牛肉.酸辣湯, 小籠包, 燒賣, 水餃 .... 那就值得燒香感謝神明了.
1. Las Vega 的賭場有20美元吃到飽(buffet), 顯然該員沒做好前置偵搜作業. 挨餓吃泡麵兩三天算是小小逞戒 . 嗯, 該員至少還有泡麵可吃, 根本不算啥處罰 !
2. 正式一點的西餐都是由服務生慢慢問顧客: 前菜要沙拉還是湯, 主菜要豬,牛,魚還是羊排? 要幾分熟? 要配啥配菜? 酒要哪個年份的紅白酒? (還是老美比較乾脆, 通常直接叫啤酒) 甜點要啥花樣? ..... 光是看單和開單訂貨就要折騰上十幾分鐘, 等到開始進貨(食物上桌)已經至少 30 ~ 45 分鐘了.
2a. 西餐貴是貴在高度客戶訂製所消耗的額外人力, 服務與時間.
2b. 中餐(buffet)便宜是因為採取科學工業化的流水生產線的手段, 以大量生產的方式壓低廚師的人工成本. 至於中西餐兩者烹調使用的材料倒是沒啥差別.
3. 關於地方色彩的本家菜 -- 謹此提供一則給您參考.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutefisk , 食用前請先確定有準備好防毒面具, 而且防毒面具的濾毒罐還沒有失效. 和這玩意(Lutefisk, lye fish)相比, 豆腐乳和羊乳酪恐怕都要退讓一下.

Interview with Jeffrey Steingarten, author of The Man Who Ate Everything (translated quote from a 1999 article in Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet
"Lutefisk is not food, it is a weapon of mass destruction. It is currently the only exception for the man who ate everything. Otherwise, I am fairly liberal, I gladly eat worms and insects, but I draw the line on lutefisk."
"What is special with lutefisk?"
"Lutefisk is the Norwegians' attempt at conquering the world. When they discovered that Viking raids didn't give world supremacy, they invented a meal so terrifying, so cruel, that they could scare people to become one's subordinates. And if I'm not terribly wrong, you will be able to do it as well."
"But some people say that they like lutefisk. Do you think they tell the truth?"
"I do not know. Of all food, lutefisk is the only one that I don't take any stand on. I simply cannot decide whether it is nice or disgusting, if the taste is interesting or commonplace. The only thing I know, is that I like bacon, mustard and lefse. Lutefisk is an example of food that almost doesn't taste anything, but is so full of emotions that the taste buds get knocked out."
