3 . Foods that are well known to you may not be familiar to people from different places around the world. Tourists and travelers often get to try some unfamiliar food. That is part of the fun of traveling. Here are three people’s experiences with foreign food.
David King is a Chinese student in France. “I never had cheese or even milk before I came to France. Cows are seldom seen in my part of China. So there is no milk or milk products. I drank some milk when I first arrived in France. I hated it! I tried cheese, too, but I didn’t like it. I love ice cream, though that’s made from milk.” |
Birgit is from Sweden. She traveled to Australia on vocation. I was in a restaurant that was special in fish. I heard some other people order flake, so ordered some, too. It was delicious! Later, I learned that flakes is an Australian name for shark. Now, whenever I see a new food, I try it on purpose. You know why? I remember how much I enjoyed flake. |
Chandra is a dentist in Texas. She is from India. “I’m afraid to try new foods because maybe there is beef in them. My religion (信仰) stops me from eating meat from the cow. That’s why I can’t eat hamburgers or noodles with meatballs.” |

5 . Have you been searching for a steak (牛排) beyond the ordinary, a steak that delights you with every bite? The Luxor Resort’s Tender Steak Restaurant will satisfy even the pickiest (最挑剔的) guest.
Today the public has become more health-conscious (关注健康的), seeking organic (有机的) meat and food. It’s good to know that Tender’s head chef Christopher Mahoney is leading the way in the “small farm” concept. Christopher proudly said, “Tender has been competing with top chefs around Las Vegas for five and a half years and was named one of the top 10 steakhouses more than once. Our credibility (可靠性) depends on using fine ingredients (原料) from the best farms in the United States and around the world in order to make a big difference.”
A perfect steak depends on many factors. When I looked at Tender’s menu, I was amazed to see the wide variety of their selections. Tender not only offers rib-eye steaks (里脊牛排), but also four different cuts of rib-eye steaks from farms in other countries.
Christopher continued, “These farms are raising the cattle in a healthy manner on a proper diet. That is the best way to go for me personally and that is the reason why I like our farms. The chef has to know exactly what he is getting in order to be a better judge of the food.”
“If you see a dish you want, but only want to try a little bit, just say, ‘Can I have this?’ No problem. We make sure the person who comes to Tender has the best time they could possibly have.”
Dining at Tender is an experience to remember. I especially love the natural shrimps and prawns (对虾) served in an individual pan accompanied by three dipping sauces (蘸酱)—mango salsa, pesto, and cocktail sauce. This is a great sharing plate because the prawns are rather large.

6 . When eating in a restaurant, you may go for mild (清淡的) dishes while your friends reach for the spicy (辣的) ones.
Some people love to go on roller coasters (过山车) because they like the exciting experience. It’s the same with spicy food, according to a new study by Pennsylvania State University, US. Scientists at the university asked 97 people to taste spicy water and describe how strong the taste was.
Results show that spicy food eaters also felt the burn from the spicy water. What’s more, people who like exciting things like spicy food more than other people do.
It’s not news that a person’s food preferences tell us about his or her personality.
People who want salty food can go with the flow (随波逐流).
