Why do Chinese people eat their (western) birthday cake before having their meal? Aren't birthday cakes a Western thing? If so, aren't they supposed to be eaten after the meal?
1- Maybe it is because if for some reason they have to eat, they have eaten the best part already?
2- Back west, whenever I eat at a place like Ponderossa, where we pick up our dessert before paying, I oftentimes eat it (chocolate cake) before my meal. No reason in particular, it is just there, I am hungry and my meal has not yet arrived. Maybe it is the same thing here?
Actually Chinese have birthday cakes after the meals mostly.
Cake or pie can be eaten instead of a meal also. I like to eat an entire peach or rubarb pie.
