To draw an analogy, the difference between Chinese and Cantonese food is like the difference between European and Italian food.The word "Cantonese" here refers to the name "Canton,” which was the old name, and its officially called Guangzhou today. More broadly, "Cantonese" refers to the region around Guangdong province and Hong Kong. Since the initial waves of immigrants from China to the west mostly left China through western-owned port cities such as Hong Kong and Macau, both of which are in the region in question, Cantonese food was the first style of Chinese food to be widely available in the west, they opened restaurants, laundary shops, etc., they brought their home cooking styles to foreign countries and nowadays most Chinese restaurants in western countries mainly provide Cantonese cuisine. Nowadays, a lot of people from other part of China travel and live overseas, so it's not difficult to find a variety of other regional styles, for example sichun food which is the spicy chinese food you might try before.
