WHAT WE EAT AND DRINK?

People in different parts of the world have very different ideas about what is good to eat? 

If you were an Eskimo near the North Pole, you would enjoy the raw meat from seals.

If you were a nomad in a desert, you would prefer the roasted meat of sheep and goats.

We cook meat of some different animals, but perhaps our favorite food is kebab. We also eat chicken, as well as fish and other foods from the sea. Some people in India not eat meat or fish at all. They are vegetarians. Even when people in different parts of the world eat the same food, they often prepare it very differently. If you were in china, you would find soup that is thin and clear.

On holidays, most of us eat special foods. Year after year, even it many other things change, the food is always the same. On New Day Eve the first day of the year, which is considered a very important national holiday, people in Iran usually sit down to a dinner with fish, rice and vegetables. People in different parts of the world also have different ideas about what is good to drink. Among the most popular hot drinks are coffee and tea. Tea is very popular in Japan, Iran, England and some other countries. In Iran we drink tea with sugar. In England many people use both sugar and milk in their tea.
