Traditional American Food

Americans eat a lot. They have three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Most of Americans don't eat home but prefer to go to restaurants. They can choose from many kind of restaurants. There is a great number of ethnic restaurants in the United States. Italian, Chinese and Mexican food is very popular. An American institution is the fast food restaurant, which is very convenient but not very healthy.

However there are some principles of American cuisine (if we may call it so). Americans drink a lot of juices and soda, eat a lot of meat, fruits and vegetables, not much bread. In the morning Americans have cereal or scrambled eggs, milk or orange juice.

Chicken or fish, fried potatoes, vegetable salads, and desert: this is the most common menu for lunch. Dinner is probably the most important meal of the day, some people have family dinner, when all members of family have to be there.

For dinner Americans usually have meat, fried or baked potatoes with ketchup or sour cream, corn, peas, sometimes macaroni and cheese or spaghetti; ice-cream, fruit or cake may be for dessert.

Turkey, ham and apple pie are traditional for Christmas and Thanksgiving Day dinners.

Questions:

1. How many times a day do Americans eat? 
2.  Do Americans like to eat at home? 
3.  What kind of restaurants is popular in the US? 
4.  What do Americans eat for breakfast? 

     5. What is the most important meal of the day? 
     6. What is a family dinner? 
     7. What dishes are traditional for Christmas and Thanksgiving Day dinners?

    8.What is the favorite American food?

S: Pizza, fried potatoes, chips…This food is very harmful for our health. This food contains a lot of fats, carbohydrates. Such drinks like Coca-Cola, Pepsi contain a lot of harmful substances. Such foods can cause obesity and many diseases. It would be better not to eat such food.

 

 

 

T: Now, it is time to watch the video about famous  American hot dogs and to relax a little.

 

3.6. The next country is Great Britain. What do you know about food culture in Great Britain?
Let`s read about national British food.

 

 

Meals in Britain

Traditionally English people have three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Breakfast is served in the morning. It used to be a large meal with cereal, eggs and bacon, sausages, tomatoes. But such a large breakfast takes a long time to prepare and is not very healthy. Nowadays, Britain's most popular breakfast consists of cereal, toast with marmalade, juice and yogurt with a cup of tea or coffee.

Lunch is a light meal. Most people have no time to go back home for lunch so they eat at school, cafes, pubs or restaurants.

The main meal is dinner, which is usually between 6 and 7 p.m. A typical evening meal is a meat dish with vegetables and dessert.

The most important meal of the week is the Sunday dinner, which is usually eaten at 1 p.m. The traditional Sunday dish used to be roast beef, but nowadays pork, chicken or lamb are more common.

On Sunday evenings people have supper or high tea. The famous British afternoon tea is becoming rare, except at weekends.

 

Questions:

1.               How many meals a day do English people have? 
   2. What did they use to eat for breakfast? ( video “What does the world eat for brewakfast?”)
   3. Is lunch a large meal? 
   4. Where do English people eat lunch? 
   5. What dishes are served for dinner? 
   6. What is the most important meal of the week? 
   7. Is British afternoon tea still popular?

China boasts one of the world’s greatest cuisines. Chinese food is famous all over the world, but you may be shocked by its surprising range and variety of ingredients if you’ve only eaten in Chinese restaurants abroad. Chinese cuisine has countless delicious and fantastic dishes.

“The Chinese eat everything with four legs, except tables, and everything that flies, except airplanes.” — Anon.

Chinese dishes are famous for color, aroma, taste, meaning and appearance.

The following are the most popular dishes among foreigners and Chinese. These dishes are sweet and sour pork (chicken), gong bao chicken, ma po tofu, wontons, dumplings, spring rolls. These dishes are available in most large restaurants in China.

Sweet and sour pork has a bright orange-red color, and a delicious sweet and sour taste.

At the very beginning there was only sweet and sour pork, but to meet demands, there have been some developments on this dish. Now, the pork can be substituted by other ingredients like chicken, beef or pork ribs.

 Gong Bao Chicken is a famous Sichuan-style specialty, popular with both Chinese and foreigners. The major ingredients are diced chicken, dried chili, and fried peanuts.

Ma po tofu is one of the most famous dishes in Chuan Cuisine with a history of more than 100 years. Ma (麻) describes a spicy and hot taste which comes from pepper powder. The milky tofu is enriched with brownish red ground beef and chopped green onion. It is really a tasty delicacy.

 The most versatile shape of a wonton is simple a right triangle, similar to Italian tortellini. Wontons are commonly boiled and served in soup or sometimes deep-fried. The filling of wontons can be minced pork or diced shrimp.

    With a long history of more than 1,800 years, dumplings are a traditional food widely popular in North China. Dumplings consist of minced meat and chopped vegetables wrapped into a thin piece of dough skin.

Popular fillings are mince pork, diced shrimp, ground chicken, beef, and vegetables. They can be cooked by boiling, steaming, or frying. Dumplings are a traditional dish eaten on Chinese New Year’s Eve.

 

The filling of spring rolls could be vegetables or meat, and the taste could be either sweet or savory. After fillings are wrapped in spring roll wrappers, the next step is frying. Then the spring rolls are given their golden yellow color.
