FOOD AND DRINK

 

Step 1

 

frutta e verduraYou probably know the names of the most common fruit and vegetables. Do you know these too?
Fruit: peach, grapes, pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, cherry.
Vegetables: aubergine (Am. En. eggplant), courgette (Am. En. zucchini), cucumber, lettuce, cauliflower, onion, green beans, mushrooms, pepper.

British eating habits: you will find that vegetables are usually simply boiled (in water) and served plain. Potatoes are cooked in a variety of ways: boiled, fried (= chips – Am. En. French fries), roasted (in the oven, using oil). Jacket potatoes can even be served as a full course.

These are usually very large potatoes baked (in the oven, without oil) in their skin and filled with cheese, beans or otherwise. Cucumber, tomatoes and lettuce are considered the basic ingredients in a salad.

Step 2

a tavolaMeat and fish: notice that in English you sometimes have two different words for the animal and its meat. A cow’s meat is called beef; that of a pig is called pork and that of a calf is called veal.

The most common fish are: cod, sole, salmon and shellfish: shrimps, lobster, mussels, oysters. Fish (e.g. salmon) and ham can be smoked. Meat can be grilled, stewed (cooked in water or a stock) or roasted.

Drinks: wine and water, either sparkling/fizzy (Am. En. carbonated) or still, is what you are normally served to drink with your meal. There is a very large variety of soft drinks - ranging from more common ones like lemonade and colas to more exclusively British drinks that you might like to try out.
