American Food and Drink

What is ‘American’ food? The answer is that it is part Italian, part British, part German, part
Mexican, part Chinese … When people from other countries came to live in the US they brought
different cooking traditions. Some of them opened restaurants. Thus, today, Americans enjoy
food from all over the world. Over the years some foreign dishes have changed a little.
Doughnuts were originally from Holland. In 1847 a young American boy told his mother that her
doughnuts were never cooked in the middle. He cut out the centres and his mother cooked
them – and they were tasty indeed!

Maybe the US is most famous for ‘fast foods’. The first fast food restaurants served
hamburgers, but now they serve other kinds of food too. Inside there is often a ‘salad bar’,
where you can help yourself to as much salad as you want.

Americans eat a lot, and when they go to a restaurant, they don’t expect to be hungry
afterwards. Most restaurants will put a lot of food on your plate – sometimes it can be even too
much. But if you can’t finish it all, don’t worry; they will give you a ‘doggy bag’ and you can take
it home.

Most Americans now have a light breakfast instead of the traditional eggs, bacon, toast,
orange juice and coffee. But on the weekends there is more time, and a large late breakfast or
early lunch (‘brunch’) is often eaten with family or friends.

II. Say why you think:

2 . much famous food in America is ‘fast food’

Fast food is the most famous food in America because Americans use to eat a lot even
when they are in hurry so they go to fast food restaurants,plus it is delicious.

3. there are usually ‘salad bars’ inside fast food restaurants

There are healthy foods in fast food restaurants because there are people who do not eat
fast food due to different reasons and they need to eat too when they are in hurry .

4. restaurant servants bring ‘doggy bags’ to those who can’t finish all the food on their
plates

They do so because they do not want to waste any food and there are people who want to
take the food home and eat it later.
