Food and dishes
Chinese hospitality will be fully offered to global athletes at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics as the Games are providing 678 dishes to athletes from diverse cultural backgrounds with elements of the Chinese Lunar New Year and environmental protection highlighted to maximize the dietary experience of global athletes.
The menu, which has 678 dishes from 12 global regions, was designed to meet the different dietary needs of athletes while also taking into consideration religious diversity. Vegetarian, halal and kosher meals will be available.
A total of 48 commonly used spices such as pepper and bay leaves will be left out of the meals to avoid false positives on doping tests, according to Yang Chen, chef of the Yanqing village.
