As a personal chef and all-around food lover, I wondered about the types of foods and recipes that would be offered at the 2008 Olympics. Do not get me wrong, I love the events at the Olympic Games, swimming, gymnastics, diving, water polo, beach volleyball, especially the women, riding and whitewater rafting! Plus, there's so much excitement here with Michael Phelps and Katie Hoff is from this area. One of my favorite Olympians, gold medal winner Cullen Jones, also from ourArea is designed as an advocate Splash, a national children's water safety initiative of the USA Swimming-established foundation.
But in light of concerns this year about whether the food would be safe, I wanted to see how the dispute would resolve itself. Would be prepared in January, the media reported that the U.S. and other teams there own meals.
A Chinese official replied that not following the established international practice, foreign athletes in your own foodthe Olympic Village. She said China had developed an extensive monitoring and supervision system over the entire supply chain from farms to the table and has been carefully monitoring what can and what not enter into the country, with security in mind.
The U.S. Olympic Committee made arrangements with several American companies to food before the opening ceremony of the ship and hired local suppliers and importers provide the food and cooking equipment during the Games, includingCalifornia strawberries, and cheese.
It is a veritable feast of foods from around the world. For the approximately 16,000 athletes, coaches, team officials and media from more than 200 countries and regions, there are 24-hour food service in the Olympic village. The wide variety of food is served in the pipeline and about 5,000 Chinese and foreign chefs, kitchen assistants and waiters.
Much of the fresh food for the athletes will be specially certified Chinese enterprises, and providedCompanies, many outside of Beijing. The U.S. meat producer Tyson Foods Inc, among other things, a supplier for the sausage is.
The Philadelphia catering company Aramark, was elected to serve everything from bagels to pasta with steamed fish and vegetables and other healthy fare for guests in the village. This is the 14th Olympics for Aramark. It is preparing 100,000 meals a day. Over 30% of food Asian cuisine, Japanese, Korean, authentic Chinese food andIndian. (nb India recently celebrated its first individual Olympic medalist, Abhinav Bindra.)
For those cheeseburgers, fries and a Coke, there is good old Mickey D's, the Official Restaurant of the Olympic Games on the 7th Viewed want. The company built the largest free-standing restaurant in the world of sports McDonald name on the Olympic Green. It has room for more than 1,000 customers. It also has three other branches at the Olympic Games.
Up to 10,000Muslim athletes, coaches, officials and tourists from around the world are estimated to visit the largest Muslim neighborhood in Beijing during the Olympic Games. The city government set aside 4.7 million U.S. dollars to open halal food outlets to ensure that practice have dietary foods that meet Islamic standards.
Many athletes say that they are not worried about the food in the village. They say it is like eating at home, saying his coach said he was only in the restaurantsVillage.
It is amazing to me that so many foreign visitors, students, teachers, reporters and others who visit China, also reported in July 2008 that they never had a problem with the food. Not to mention all those who say Beijing residents. Hmmmm. Well, enjoy the games.
