TASK 17
In what country
1. do people tend to eat healthy meal?
2. is meat sold at a low price?
3. is a dish from goat a holiday meal?
4. do people eat dishes made from corn?
5. is sausage eaten throughout the country?
6. do people often not eat meat?
A
The most common meats are beef, pork, lamb, and chicken. Fish and seafood are found
mainly on the coast and in cities but are often expensive. Olives are grown throughout
Greece, and olive oil is used a great deal in cooking. Salads are often eaten with th e main
meal. Main courses include souvlaki, a shish kebab with cubes of meat — often pork or
lamb — and vegetables, and stuffed eggplant or tomatoes. At Easter, Greeks enjoy roast
lamb or goat, as well as kokoretsi, which is lamb’s liver, lungs, and spleen
wrapped in
intestines and roasted on a spit.
B
What people eat depends largely on what is produced in the region where they live.
Dishes with potatoes, tofu, maize meal, rice, and other grains are main meals. Noodles
are also common and man tou (steamed bread) is a staple in northern China. Dishes made with
pork, beef, chicken, or fish are popular but expensive. Chopsticks are used for all meals in China.
Specialties vary from region to region, from duck in Beijing to spicy dishes in Sichuan province.
C
Foods vary widely in India, depending on the culture and region. For example,
rice is the main
food in the south, while wheat bread is the principal in the north. Indian meals are usually very
spicy.
Different types of curry, made with eggs, fish, meat, or vegetables, are popular.
Vegetarian-
ism is widely practiced, often for religious reasons. Hindus consider cows to be sacred and they,
like Sikhs, will not eat beef. Observant Muslims do not eat pork or drink alcohol.
D
Swedes today are generally health conscious and aware of the nutritional
content of what they eat,
although young people also enjoy fast food, which is increasingly available. The typical Swedish
breakfast
includes coffee, fruit juice, crisp bread or open sandwiches with ham or cheese. Lunch is
usually a hot meal, even in schools. Typical
Swedish food is herring, meatballs, raw pickled
salmon, potatoes, and pancakes. During the last three weeks of August (the crayfishing season),
crayfish parties are a favourite tradition.
E
Maize, beans, rice, and chilies are main foods. They are
often combined with spices, vegetables,
and meats or fish in the daily meals. What people eat varies to some extent according to region,
but tortillas, frijoles refritos (refried beans), and mole (spicy sauce)
are common throughout the
nation.
