食物 pinyin: shi2 wu4

ANSWER:

When someone says Chinese, everyone thinks Mandarin. But hello, what about Cantonese (the third most wide-spoken language in China) ??? The question was 'How do you say food in chinese?', not 'How do you say food in Mandarin?', which is what the above answerer provided.

Chinese can be spoken in many different ways (dialects) but it can only be written in Traditional or Simplified version. The above answerer provided the traditional characters for 'food'. In Cantonese, 'food' is pronounced 'sek mutt', which is a direct translation of the Mandarin version from the above answer. There are actually a variety of ways to say 'food', but that is the most common, I think.
