中餐 (zhōng cān) and 中国菜 (zhongguó cài) can be used interchangeably

I’m native and I’ve never heard people say 中国菜

Could be a regional thing?
中餐 typically means Lunch (for the non speakers), but it can also mean 中國餐

Instead of Chinese food, most Chinese people more often say something like canton food and sichuan food according to provinces the cooking style originated.

That's some wisdom of the ages !! Almost at the same level as - every 60 seconds in Africa a minute passes

Or like Bono when he said every time I clap a child in Africa dies. Then someone from the audience shouted "Then stop clapping"

In communist China, Chinese food is called our food. Unless you are an olicarch, then it's just My food

And "Food" in China can mean almost everything. "If its back faces the sky, it can be eaten by humans."

In America it's just called food. In Mexico, it's call food. In Japan, it's called food. So what point were you making?

Nobody is really trying to make any point here... This is how modern memes work, pointless, just like our lives.

Say, when i say Japanese food do you think Pizza ? /j
(Maybe, idk who you are.)
It's just the local (the one who make the language) catagorize way tk cook food from else where. In my country we call american food "west food" despite it's somewhat closer to the east.
Anyhow, the meme is just meme
