READING
Task 1. Read the text and decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE.
American Food and Drinks
What is "American" food? The answer is that it is part Italian, part British, part German, part Mexican, part
Chinese… When people from other countries came to live in the US, they brought different cooking traditions.
Some of them opened restaurants. Today Americans enjoy food from all over the world. Over the years some
foreign dishes changed a little. Doughnuts were originally from Holland. In 1847 a young American boy told
his mother that her doughnuts were never cooked in the middle. He cut out the center and his mother cooked
them — and they were very tasty! Maybe the US is most famous for "fast foods". The first fast food restaurants
served hamburgers, but now they serve other kinds of food too. Inside there is often a "salad bar", where you
can help yourself to as much salad as you want. Americans eat a lot, and when they go to a restaurant, they
don't expect to be hungry afterwards. Most restaurants will put a lot of food on your plate — sometimes it can
be too much. But if you can't finish it all, don't worry: they will give you a "doggy bag" and you can take it
home. Most Americans now have a light breakfast instead of the traditional eggs, bacon, toast, orange juice and
coffee. But on weekends there is more time, and a large late breakfast or early lunch is often eaten with family
or friends.
