b. Discuss these questions. Can you cook? Is there a special dish you can make? Describe the recipe of this dish. What are your favorite main dishes? What are your favorite desserts? snacks? Are there any foods and drinks you have all the time? never have? What kind of food or dishes do you associate with these countries (the USA, China, France, Italy, Japan, Mexico)? What is your relationship with food? Ex. 10. a. Read the interviews with Alice and Jacqueline. Match the questions with their answers. We talk to women around the world about their relationship with food. Is food a pleasure for you? What do you normally eat in a typical day? Do you ever cook? Do you ever eat ‘unhealthy’ food? How do you feel about it? Are you trying to cut down on anything at the moment? Are people’s diets in your country getting better or worse? Alice Freeman is a lawyer from San Francisco, the USA. A □ I think people are trying to improve their diets, but they are doing it the wrong way by following diets like the Atkins diet. Personally, I don’t think it’s very healthy to cut out entire groups of foods like carbohydrates. B □ Not very often. I don’t have the time or talent to cook full meals. I usually heat up a frozen meal or order a takeaway. C □ Sometimes I get fast food for lunch. I have to admit that I love French fries. I feel terrible about it afterwards, but I don’t do it very often. D □ I usually have a bowl of cereal or toast for breakfast. For lunch I eat at a restaurant near my office. I prefer Japanese or Indian food. I usually eat rice with fish and vegetables, soup or sushi. I don’t eat meat, but I eat a lot of fish. In the evening, I just have something light at home. E □ I am trying to cut down on the amount of fat I eat. I’m also trying to eat more wholemeal bread. F □ Not really. I enjoy certain kinds of food, but most meals are just fuel to keep me going through the day. Jacqueline Fabre is an IT consultant from Lyons, France. A □ Yes, I cook every evening for my family. I often make soup or traditional French dishes like ‘boeuf bourguignon’, which is a kind of beef and red wine stew, and then we have cheese and salad. It may seem a lot but we don’t eat big portions. What’s important for me is quality, not quantity. B □ Yes, I’m trying to eat less chocolate. C □ I think people’s diets are getting worse and worse. It’s quite strange because we have a lot of information now about how bad fast food is for you. I’m afraid it’s a problem in a lot of European countries. D □ Not at home. I think most of the food I cook is healthy, but occasionally when I eat out I have something unhealthy, but it doesn’t worry me. E □ Yes, definitely. For me good meals with the family make me happy! F □ I’m quite traditional and I have three main meals a day. For breakfast, I like hot chocolate, and bread and butter with honey or jam. For lunch, I often eat in a restaurant with my colleagues. I usually have vegetables and meat or fish but I love pasta and rice too. In the afternoon, I have fruit with biscuits or a piece of chocolate. In the evening, I have a proper meal with my family. b.

Shall we have a snack before we start the decorating? It's such a shame. He lost the opportunity of opening his own restaurant. I never buy ready meals. I think it's fun to prepare food from the beginning. It can't be good for you not to eat until the evening. I'm starving when I get up in the morning. I never leave the house without a good breakfast. For me, it's health that is important - that's why I buy organic food. No wonder she's so slim, she has a very small desire for food. Not having variety in your diet can create health problems. WHAT KIND OF EATER ARE YOU? A The fruit-free zone This is someone who eats a fairly unadventurous diet of mainly protein and carbohydrates. A typical meal might consist of just meat and potatoes, or steak and chips. Any vegetables they eat tend to be frozen and easy to prepare, such as peas or sweetcorn. They hardly ever eat fresh fruit - occasionally an orange or an apple, or some fruit juice. Although they eat three meals a day, they take little pleasure in eating and have little variety in their diet. The lack of fruit and vegetables means they are probably missing out on vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. В The general grazer This person doesn't often sit down to a proper meal, preferring to just grab smaller bites to eat throughout the day. Not a fan of breakfast, by mid-morning they will start a series of 'mini-meals' - a sandwich, then 15 minutes later some fruit, then half an hour later some biscuits, followed by various snacks throughout the day. Often eating quickly and while doing other activities - working, watching TV, even driving - they get little satisfaction from food. They have no control over their appetite and will often overeat on foods of little nutritional value. С The fast-food fan For this person, it's convenience that counts. Often with a busy lifestyle, they tell themselves they don't have time to shop for fresh ingredients and cook them from scratch. Their food of choice is often tasty and filling, but can be greasy and fattening. A typical lunch might be hamburger and fries, followed in the evening by a ready meal of takeaway curry and rice. They tend to like strong flavours, and find fresh fruit and vegetables rather bland. High levels of fats, sugars and salts in their diet create potential health problems. D The evening eater This is someone who often goes all day without eating anything at all. They will almost certainly skip breakfast and if you invite them for lunch, they will usually make an excuse about being too busy. By dinner time, they are starving hungry, and so consume a huge number of calories in one go. The evening meal itself may be followed by a range of sweet or salty snacks to fill the need for food that was missed during the day. Preferring to eat by themselves, they tend to be fast eaters who don't take part in shared meals with family or friends. d) What kind of eater are you? Are you a fussy eater, an unadventurous eater or an adventurous eater? Do you prefer to eat out at a restaurant or at home? When you eat out, what do you like to order?  Track 2. Ex. 12. You are going to hear a conversation between Aurora, a Peruvian businesswoman, and Claes who is visiting Peru. Aurora explains the things on the menu below. a. Before you listen, discuss these questions: Do you eat much foreign food? What is your favourite? Have you ever tried Peruvian food? Do you know anything about it? Do you have any idea what any of the dishes on the menu below might be? MENU
b. Listen to the conversation, find out what dishes Claes rejects, and which ones he decides to order. c. How much can you remember about each of the dishes that were mentioned? d. Work in pairs. Try to complete the sentences. Then listen again to check your answers. They don’t have an English menu. I’m … . You’ll just have to talk me … it. That’s balls of mashed potato, … with beef, raisins and olives. It’s sliced cow’s heart, very … and … . I’ll go … that. That’s steak, sliced very … and then fried and … with rice. It’s a bit … a Spanish paella, but … . It’s a … of stew with goat’s meat in. That sounds very … . e. Write a typical menu for a restaurant in your country. Write it in your own language. f. Work in pairs. You are trying to decide what to eat. Student A: you’re visiting the country on holiday or on business. You don’t speak the local language. Student B: talk Student A through the menu. Student A: reject at least two things. Explain why. Then decide what you’d like to eat for starter, main course and dessert. Ex. 13. a. In pairs, discuss whether each of these sentences about restaurants is a good thing or a bad thing. Why?
b. Work in pairs. Discuss these questions. Do you and your family eat out much? Where? Do you know any restaurants… with strange or unusual décor? / where you get huge portions? / that are always packed? / which serve that local specialty? / where you can eat really cheaply? / which have a great view? / which aren’t very good? Track 3. Ex. 14. a. You are going to hear four conversations about restaurants and food. Listen and answer the questions.In conversation 1, what reasons do they give for going to a restaurant further away? In conversation 2, why do they think they need to do up the restaurant? In conversation 3, why does the woman want to swap dishes? In conversation 4, why is the man threatening to leave without paying? b. Work in pairs. Choose the words that were used in each conversation. Listen again and check. a. The terrace gives onto / looks out the river. b. They do / make some really nice snacks. c. The walk will give you hunger / an appetite. a. The menu’s a bit limited / short. b. The restaurant doesn’t look very interesting / inviting. a. The sauce is quite spicy so it really overcooks / overpowers the taste of everything else. b. The steak is so tender / tough! a. The restaurant doesn’t deserve / merit the money. b. The portions weren’t very great / generous. c. Complete the sentences with the words in the box. Note. In Listening, you heard that the vegetables were overcooked (it means they had been cooked too long, so they tasted watery).
It was a great meal. In fact, my only complaint would be that the food was so good that I completely …! When I checked the bill, I realised we’d been … . He … it at the gym. He should be more careful. It was so hot, the car … on our way there. It was a mistake. I … how much food we needed. It was a bit of a disaster, because I … the pasta. I know the waiter was a bit rude, but I still think you … . No wonder he … this morning! He didn’t get to bed till three last night. d. Work in pairs. Role-play two conversations. 1. Decide where to go for something to eat or drink. One of you should reject at least one suggestion. 2. You are having dinner together in a restaurant. Ask each other about the dishes you have ordered. Use the menu in ex. 12 a. for ideas, if you need to. Ex. 15. a. Read the introduction to an article about people living abroad and getting used to foreign food. Then work in pairs. Discuss these questions: Are there many specialist shops selling foreign food in your town / city? Are there any near where you live? Do you ever shop in any of them? Why / Why not? What food from your country would you miss if you went to live abroad? Food for thought They say that the last thing you get used to when living abroad is the food. Look around any big city and you’re bound to find a wide range of specialist shops selling imported goods for foreigners living there. Supermarkets have also started to realise there’s money to be made by stocking Polish bread and beer, Chinese vegetables and Indian spices. We decided to interview four people about their experiences of living overseas to find out how they were coping with the food and with meal times. Here’s what they told us. b. Work in two groups. Group A, read the first text. Group B, read the second text. As you read, answer these questions. 1. Where are the two people in your texts from? 2. Where are they living now? Why? 3. What do they like about the food and the way people eat there? 4. Is there anything they miss about their home? 5. What do they still find strange or annoying? 6. What do you think they’ll never get used to? Why? Text 1 Ian (American) I moved to Taiwan five years ago because my wife is from Taipei, and I love it here. We eat out a lot, and there are lots of good, cheap restaurants and street snacks. I’m vegetarian and there’s a long tradition of veggie food here so it’s great for me. Having said that, I’ll never get used to ‘stinky tofu’. The name is very accurate - it smells like sweaty socks mixed with rotting fish! I tried it once. The sauce was actually OK, but that smell is just so off-putting! When you go to restaurants here, generally speaking, you all just order lots of different dishes and then everyone shares, which is nice. The first time I went out with my wife’s family, my father-in-law insisted on paying, which is pretty normal I suppose. What is still a bit strange for me, though, is when you go out with people of your own age and all the men always offer to pay for everything. There’s sometimes almost a fight to get hold of the bill first! Generally speaking, back home we just split the bill between everyone. One final thing I find a bit annoying here is how surprised everyone is that I can use chopsticks. I mean, just because you’re foreign, it doesn’t mean you can’t learn how to use chopsticks! Text 2 Isabella (Spanish) I’ve been studying in Glasgow for two years now, and it’s a great city. When I first moved here, I spent six months living with a host family and they provided me with my first experience of the food. British food has got a bad reputation, but they served great stuff. They introduced me to some really interesting things like the Scottish national dish, haggis. It’s a bit like a Spanish blood sausage called morcilla, but bigger. There were a couple of things I just couldn’t get used to, though. The first thing was that they always ate everything with bread and butter. It really made me miss olive oil! The other thing was that they used to have dinner at 6 o’clock every evening. I was starving by bedtime and it didn’t give me time to do anything beforehand! Another cultural difference is that lots of people here go for a drink after work. They tend not to eat while they’re drinking, and only get something to eat when the pub finally closes: usually fish and chips, pizzas, that kind of thing. I’ve even seen deep-fried bars of chocolate! With food like that, it’s no wonder there are so many foreign restaurants here! Having said that, I think I was actually quite unadventurous before coming here, but the Scottish have introduced me to food from other countries – Indian, Mexican, all of which I love now. |
