FOOD

Today I´m going to talk about food. Why? You may ask yourself: because it´s good? No. Because without it we can´t live? Maybe... Because it´s one of the most important things of the day? YES!

AMERICAN FOOD:

In America, lunch time is not very important, in fact, some people eat a sandwich moving from one place to another or even in their work while they are working.

- Although pizza is an Italian food, in America,  many people like to eat pizza in birthday parties, other celebrations, work meetings, ... Pizza is everywhere!

- One of my favorite American meals is the steak. 

- Some very typical meals are: hamburgers, fried chicken, fries, hot dogs, and meatballs. 

- Some American desserts are: cheesecake, brownies and apple pies (personally, my favorite desserts are brownies).      

SPANISH FOOD:

The Spanish lunch is so big that many people can´t work after eating, so they have to take a nap (“siesta”, in Spanish).

One of my favorite Spanish meals is white rice (with a bit of ketchup…).

- Some typical Spanish meals are: "cocido madrileño", "chuletillas de cordero", "tortilla de patata", "paella", and many more.
