Read the article about street food. Then complete the sentences with ONE word from the text.
One of the most popular activities that people do when they go on holiday to another country is to try the
local food. However, eating dinner in a restaurant every night can be expensive, and many people find the
restaurants they choose are full of tourists and not many local people. A much better way to try local food
is to eat ‘street food’, food made and sold not in a restaurant, but on the street, from a ‘stall’ or large table.
It is often very tasty and you can try many different small dishes. It’s also cheaper than eating in restaurants.
Different countries have their own famous types of street food. France is famous for baguettes, which are
a type of French bread filled with cheese or meat with salad. You can buy baguettes from stalls on the
street in many French cities. In Italy, there are slices of pizza, and arancini which are fried balls of rice with
cheese, meat or vegetables inside. The name arancini means ‘oranges’ in Italian. Mexico has tacos, a
dish with spicy beans and meat. Eating street food is also a great way to learn about new places and to
talk to local people about the food in their country. So, the next time you travel to a new country, don’t go
to a restaurant, go to the street instead! You will love the delicious food you can find there.

A. Japan
Japanese food is fresh, healthy and tasty. It includes a lot of fish, vegetables, tofu and rice. Typical dishes
are ramen, a type of soup with noodles and vegetables or seafood, and curries with chicken or tofu.
Japanese people usually eat small amounts of food. They also like to eat their food very slowly and this
stops them from eating too much. For this reason, Japanese people are among the healthiest people in
the world and do not get ill very often. Japanese people do not eat a lot of sweet dishes, but they enjoy
eating fruit and small cakes called dorayaki. To celebrate the new year, Japanese people often eat cakes
made of rice, and a special soup called ozoni.

B. Italy
When many people think of Italian food, they think of delicious but not very healthy food like pasta with
meat sauces, lots of cheese, and, of course, pizza. However, Italians don’t eat these dishes every day.
They eat a lot of healthy foods, including vegetables, tomatoes and olive oil. A typical Italian meal usually
includes several different small dishes. Italians stay healthy by eating a lot of vegetables and only a little
meat. Lunch is the main meal of the day and Italians like to have long lunches at home. Sometimes Italians
will get together with their friends and family in the evening and go to a pizzeria to eat pizza. After dinner,
they might have a gelato, a type of Italian ice cream, which has many delicious flavours.

C. China
Chinese people eat a lot of vegetables, which are usually steamed or fried. They eat some meat and
fish, but usually not very much, and often on special occasions. Rice, noodles and dumplings are
popular Chinese dishes. A lot of Chinese dishes use garlic and ginger, which are tasty and are good for
the stomach. Green tea is a popular drink in China, and many people believe that it helps them to stay
healthy. China has many festivals, and people often eat special food during these times. People eat
dumplings to celebrate Chinese New Year, and for the Autumn Festival people eat special cakes
called moon cakes. Festivals are often special times for families to get together and eat delicious food.

D. Poland
Polish people like to eat food that keeps them warm in winter. Soup, meat and small dumplings
called pierogi are all popular dishes. Pierogi can be sweet or savoury. Polish dishes are usually served
with vegetables, especially carrots, potatoes and cabbage. Polish people also like sweet dishes, especially
cakes. Cheesecake and doughnuts are popular for dessert, and people make special cakes for weddings
and festivals. Polish people usually eat four small meals a day. They eat the main meal of the day in the
afternoon, usually at about 2:00 p.m. This meal usually has three dishes, a soup, a meat dish and a dessert.
