 Where did your
lunch come from?

What is there to choose from on the lunch menu today? You might be
surprised to know that some of the food on your plate today has
come from countries far away from where you live.

Today’s starter is soup made with broad beans from Africa and
pepper from Vietnam. Next, the main course is chicken and rice. It’s
possible that the rice travelled all the way from China to your plate!
For dessert, we are having fruit salad with cherries from Turkey,
bananas from India and raspberries from Russia! Would you like
some vanilla ice-cream on top of your fruit salad? The vanilla comes
from Madagascar. How about a glass of milk? Camel milk from Saudi
Arabia!

And it’s not only food that comes from far away. If you have a wool
jumper, it might be made with wool from sheep that live all the way
down in Australia.
