The Japanese eat rice, too. They also eat a lot of fish. They sometimes eat raw(生的)fish. In Africa, maize(玉米)is the most important food. People there make maize into flour(面粉). From this flour they make different kinds of bread and cakes.

They eat this food at home, in their work place, in the park or on the road. People call it "take-away" food.
