3 . “Do you want fries with that?” For the average American, who eats 29 pounds of fries each year, the response to this irresistible question is a resounding yes. McDonald’s alone sells 9million pounds of fries globally every day. To keep up, its U. S. supplier uses an extremely large fry-cutting machine that shoots potatoes through at 60 to 70 miles per hour, 24 hours a day.
It’s hotly debated whether fries first came from France or Belgium, but it was American soldiers during World War I(1914-1918)who named them “French.” The soldiers became smitten with the potatoes in southern Belgium—where villagers fried sliced potatoes instead of fish when the River Meuse froze over—but called them French since that was the most spoken language. The name stuck.
Many chefs agree an ideal fry is achieved with a double-dunk (浸泡) in hot oil: The first bath forms the fries’ initial outer layer, and the second crisps that layer to a beautiful golden brown. Still, famous fry-makers differ in how they deep-fry: Five Guys uses peanut oil, while McD’s adds “natural beef flavor” to its vegetable oil. Shake Shack now turns to a nostalgic frozen crinkle-cut (波纹薯条) after switching to a freshly made straight-cut version and making their fans angry. As CEO Randy Garutti said, “When we sent out the Instagram of crinkle-cuts coming back, it’s to this day the most-liked thing we’ve ever done.”
How one dips a fry alters the experience. Since the rise of fast food in the 1940s, the dunk er of choice has been classic ketchup. But in their likely birthplace of Belgium, fries are served with mayonnaise. In Utah, the two dips are combined into a zippy pink “fry sauce.” Or perhaps you prefer to dunk them in a chocolate milkshake, making the better question: “What do you want with your fries?”

5 . Milk, it comes from cows, right? Well, not all the milk you see on supermarket shelves is from cows. These days we see many plant-based alternatives to dairy, such as oat, pea and soya milk. But why would someone stop drinking their full-fat, semi-skimmed or skimmed cow’s milk and trade it for one of these? There are many reasons why someone might try alternative milks.
Some people believe the alternatives are healthier than milk from cows. Those with lactose(乳糖) intolerance or thinking about becoming vegan might start drinking alternative milks. Also, concerns about the impact of dairy farming on the environment could be a factor. Whatever the reason, there are many alternatives to dairy out there for us to consume. But what are the differences between these other options and regular cow’s milk? Soya milk is one common alternative. According to some sources, such as healthline.com, it contains a similar amount of protein to regular milk. It is also lower in calories than some cow’s milk, which could be good for those on a diet, and often comes strengthened with things like calcium and various vitamins.
So, all good? Well, soya, according to foodallergy.org, is one of the nine foods which cause the majority of allergic reactions, such as lactose intolerance and nut allergy. Almond milk is a low-calorie, low-fat drink and is naturally lactose free and has a slight nutty taste. When unsweetened, it also has lower levels of carbohydrates and sugars than some dairy options. However, even when strengthened, it doesn’t provide the levels of protein seen in soya or regular milk. Then there’s coconut milk, which is low in calories and may affect people with lactose intolerance as much as other options, but is lacking in protein.
Whichever plant-based milk you choose, there are positives and negatives. Dieticians agree the most important thing is getting a healthy balanced diet which won’t trigger any allergies and comes with all the minerals and vitamins you need. And at the end of the day, it may just come down to which one you think tastes better.

Nilsa stared at the clock on the classroom wall, daydreaming about lunch. Her mother had prepared a thermos (保温瓶) full of sancocho. It was one of Nilsa’s favorite dishes, and the national dish of Panama — a country in central America and the hometown of Nilsa’s family. Just thinking about sancocho made her mouth water.
Finally, it was time for lunch. Nilsa carefully poured some sancocho into a bowl. When she looked up, she saw her classmates staring.
“What is that? It smells really bad,” said Gus, covering his nose. “It’s sancocho,” Nilsa responded. “It’s kind of like chicken soup.” Codi glanced at the bowl and said, “Soup? It’s more like a science experiment.” He laughed, pointed to his lunch, and asked, “That’s one weird lunch. Why don’t you eat something normal, like pizza?”
Nilsa looked at everyone else’s lunches: pizza, fries, and sandwiches. Suddenly she didn’t feel hungry any more.
When Nilsa returned home and complained about her classmates’ negative comments, her mother wasn’t mad. Instead, she listened attentively and reminded Nilsa that there is no such thing as “normal” or “weird” food, and that different cultures have their own unique dishes that are loved and appreciated by those who grew up with them.
Nilsa’s mother also suggested making a fresh batch for Nilsa to bring to school the next day. “Then you can share it with your classmates and tell them sancocho tastes great, and that our family has been eating it for hundreds of years. Your great-grandmother taught your grandmother who then taught me.
Nilsa nodded in excitement, and she was grateful for the opportunity to share her favorite dish with her classmates.

Food Taboos Around the World
●Jamaican Taboos
When it comes to raising children,there are some definite food-related taboos(禁忌)Jamaican people believe in. It is believed that if children eat chicken before they learn to speak, they will never talk. Eating half an egg will make the child grow into a thief and drinking milk from a baby bottle will turn them into an alcoholic.
●Nigerian Taboos
Much like the Jamaican taboos, many Nigerians’ taboos revolve around children. While they don’t believe children who eat eggs will turn into thieves, they have particularly strong feelings about coconut milk. Another widely held belief is that children who drink this type of milk will become unintelligent.
●Russian Taboos
Old world traditions are very much alive in Russia when it comes to traditional dating. If you are hoping to court a lady at a restaurant, do not expect to go Dutch. If you are the one who arranges the date, you are expected to pay for everything, as most Russian women won’t even bring their wallets on a formal date.
●Chinese Taboos
If you travel to China, minding your chopsticks is important. After finishing a meal at a restaurant, do not leave your chopsticks sticking up in the left-over rice at the bottom of your bowl. That practice is employed when families offer a meal to their ancestors’ ghosts at family shrines(神龛)but Chinese believe doing so in a restaurant would bother the owner with a terrible curse.

10 . Many Brits firmly believe that no task, from studying to data entry to putting up a shelf, can be accomplished without a good cup of tea.
Tea is traditionally brewed in a pot and poured out into individual cups. Most people, however, could not afford fine bone china. The cups they did have would often crack under the heat of the boiling tea. Milk was therefore added first to the cups to lessen the heat of the hot tea and keep the cups complete.
Kate Fox, the author of Watching the English, notes that milk in tea also gives off social clues to Britain’s all-important social class system. According to Fox, the strongest black tea is drunk by the working class, who have to reduce the bitter taste with plenty of milk and sugar to make “builder’s tea.
Tea communicates a lot, from social standing to emotional state, which is useful for the British, who tend to be suspicious of emotional displays. Best just to have a nice cup of tea instead.
A.Many people apparently grew to like the taste. |
B.The price fell, and suddenly every Briton had a tea habit. |
C.Tea has been an important part of British civilization for nearly 300 years. |
D.That's almost 36 billion cups per year, divided among British men, women, and children. |
E.Therefore, taking sugar in your tea is regarded by many as a lower-class indicator. |
F.Some even measure the length of a task by how many cups of tea are required to finish it. |
G.Scientists note that cold milk poured into hot tea heats unevenly and can give tea an awful top. |
