《foods from around the world》
Foods that are well known to you may not be familiar to people from other countries.Tourists and other traveles almost always get to try some unfamiliar food.That is part of the traveling.Here are four people’s experiences with foreign food .
Shao Wong is a student in France.He comes from China.“I never had cheese or even milk before I came to France.Cattle are rare in my part of China,so there are no dairy products.I drank some milk when I first arrived in France.I hated it!I tired cheese,too,but I didn’t like it.I love ice cream,though,and that’s made from milk.”
Birgit is from Sweden.She traveled to Australia on vacation.“I was in a restaurant that specialized in fish,and I heard some other customers order flake.So I ordered some,too,and it was delicious.Later,I found out that flake is an Australian term for shark.Now,whenever I see a new food,I try it on purpose.You know why?I remember how much I enjoyed flake.”
Chandra is a dentist in Texas.She is from India.“ I’m afraid to try new foods because they might contain beef.I’m a Hindu,and my religion forbids me to eat meat from the cow.That’s why I can’t eat hamburgers or spaghetti with meatballs.”
Nathan is from the United States.He taught for a year in China.“My friends gave me some 100-year-old eggs to eat.I didn’t like their appearance at all.The eggs were green inside,but my friends said the color was normal.The Chinese put chemical on fresh eggs.Then they bury then in the earth for three months.So the eggs weren’t really very old.Even so,I didn’t want to touch them.”
Life in a new country can be scary,but it also can be fun.Would you eat a 100-year-old egg?Would you order shark in restaurant?

世界各地的食物:、众所周知,食物可分为碱性食物和酸性食物两个大类,人们进食必须酸碱食物搭配才能维持体内血液酸碱度即PH值的平衡.所谓酸性和碱性食物,并非由口感或味觉来识别,主要是看食物被机体吸收氧化后所蕴含的化学元素来作为鉴别的依据.大凡含氮、硫、磷等非金属元素较多的则为酸性食品,而含钠、钾、钙、镁等金属元素较多的乃是碱性食品.并非味道酸的就是酸性食品,比如醋是酸的,柑、梅、杏等水果也是酸的,但它们非但不是酸性食品,恰恰相反,却是典型的碱性食品.又如粮食、糖果、糕点、鱼、猪肉及其他动物肉类等,则不是碱性食品,全都属于酸性食品.
