Mark the statements true (T) or false (F).IN SEARCH OF GOOD ENGLISH FOOD24How come it is so difficult to find English food in England?In Greece you eat Greek food, in France French food, inItaly Italian food, but in England, in any High Street in theland, it is easier to find Indian and Chinese restaurantsthan English ones. In London you can eat Thai, Portuguese,Turkish, Lebanese, Russian, Polish, Swiss, Swedish,Spanish, and Italian—but where are the Englishrestaurants?It is not only in restaurants that foreign dishes arereplacing traditional British food. In every supermarket,sales of pasta, pizza and poppadoms are booming. Whyhas this happened? What is wrong with the cooks of Britainthat they prefer cooking pasta to potatoes? Why do theBritish choose to eat lasagne instead of shepherd’s pie?Why do they now like cooking in wine and olive oil? Butperhaps it is a good thing. After all, this is the end of the20th century and we can get ingredients from all over theworld in just a few hours. Anyway, wasn’t English foodalways disgusting and tasteless? Wasn’t it always boiled todeath and swimming in fat? The answer to these questionsis a resounding ‘No’, but to understand this, we have to goback to before World War II.The British have in fact always imported food fromabroad. From the time of the Roman invasion foreign tradewas a major influence on British cooking. English kitchens,like the English language, absorbed ingredients from allover the world—chickens, rabbits, apples, and tea. All ofthese and more were successfully incorporated into Britishdishes. Another important influence on British cooking wasof course the weather. The good old British rain gives usrich soil and green grass, and means that we are able toproduce some of the finest varieties of meat, fruit andvegetables, which don’t need fancy sauces or complicatedrecipes to disguise their taste.1 There are Indian and Chinese restaurantsin most towns and cities in England.2 British supermarkets sell a lot offoreign food.3 British people still prefer to cooktraditional British food in their own homes.4 The writers think that British food hasalways been bad.5 Foreign cooks have always usedBritish ingredients in their cooking.6 The writers think that the food thatis produced in Britain is of high quality.7 The problem with British food is thatit uses complicated recipes.(1 point for each correct answer)10 Translate these sentences.1 How is he?_______________________________________________________________________2 What’s he like?___________________________________________3 What does he look like?___________________________________________4 What does he like doing?___________________________________________5 They stopped to speak to each other.___________________________________________(2 points for each correct answer)710TOTAL 100©Oxford University PressPhotocopiable20Name: ________________________________
