Traditionally, "West" refers to European countries and regions, as well as the vast areas of North America, South America and Oceania where these countries and regions are the main immigrants, so western food mainly refers to the catering culture in these areas.
Westerners call China cuisine "Chinese food", Japanese food, Korean food and so on. They don't call them "oriental delicacies" in cages, but divide them carefully and name them according to country names.
In fact, the catering culture in western countries has its own characteristics, and the dishes in each country are different. For example, the French will think that they are cooking French food, while the British think that their cooking is British food. Westerners themselves have no clear concept of "western food", which is the concept of China and other orientals. [ 1]
This is because China people and other orientals can't tell what Italian food, French food and British food are when they first come into contact with western food, and they can only have a general concept. At that time, people in China generally called it "food", which means western food. The ancients in China often thought that China was the center of the world, and held derogatory meanings for other countries and regions, calling the East "Yi", the West "Fan", the North "Hu" and the South "Man". So the so-called "food" refers to western food.
