Урок 7. National cuisines of the peoples of the world (Національні кухні народів світу)

1. Vocabulary Work

Remember the translation of these words. How are they different?

Write down the explanations of these words in your notebook:

Cuisine - is the national dishes of a country Kitchen - is a room where you can prepare food

Task 1 (3 points). Read and translate the text (orally), answer the questions after the text (in writing):

National cuisines of different peoples of the world were formed historically. The dishes in these cuisines depend on where the people lived. If people lived near the sea, then their cuisine was dominated by fish dishes; if people lived in the mountains, then most of the dishes were made of meat. And if people lived on fertile soil then vegetable dishes predominated there. Thanks to the development of transport, we can now taste the food of other nations, so many people like Japanese sushi, Italian pizza and American fast food.

Questions:

А) Нow were created national cuisines of different peoples?

В) What do the dishes in the national cuisine depend on?

C) Can we now taste the dishes of other nations?

Task 2 (3 points). Find in the text descriptions or names of dishes from different countries and write them down

(for example: Borscht is a Ukrainian dish, Korean food is very spicy).

Food from Around the World

Food is now international. We can eat burgers anywhere in the world today, but they started in the United States. The Americans were the first to produce “fast food”. Pizza was an Italian recipe but it became popular in the United States and spread from there all over the world. “French fries” is the American name for fried chipped potatoes, which in England are called “chips”.

Do you have Indian or Chinese restaurants where you live? In Chinese food, the meat, fish and vegetables are cut into small pieces and cooked very slightly. Indian food, on the other hand, is cooked slowly, with a lot of hot species. Mexican food is very spicy too. The countries of the Eastern Mediterranean also like food with a strong taste. They gave us “kebabs”, pieces of meat cooked on long sticks, and many different kinds of salad.

What other national dishes do you know? English people still enjoy their “fish and chips” which you can buy in a take away and eat straight from the paper. In Spain, a “paella” is a family favorite – a dish of rice with different kinds of seafood. And an Italian usually includes a dish of pasta with a delicious sauce.

If you can’t travel to these countries, try a restaurant. If you can’t do that, buy a recipe book and cook something different at home!
