 Re: Can somebody explain to me the meaning of this idiom?
Hello Surili
I wouldn't call it an idiom; it seems more like a pithy quotation (or strapline) to me.
Look at it this way:
In China, it would not be unusual to eat fried diced chicken in a chilli sauce. You would be most likely to eat it at home. So it would just be "food".
In England, however, you would probably be more likely to eat it in a Chinese restaurant. So it would be "Chinese food".
Does that help you understand the meaning?
