British Food
Have you tried British food? What did you think of it? The truth is that British food doesn’t have the best
reputation in the world Why is this? And is it fair?
If you ask most foreigners what they think of British food, they'll use
words like “bland”, “revolting”, “tasteless” and “boring” They go
back to their countries with stories of truly horrendous dishes such as
boiled cabbage and tripe
And they are often amazed at some of the unusual British eating
habits and customs After all, Britain is the only country in the world
that has fruit juice as a starter, where the people throw salt onto
everything, and where a chip sandwich (otherwise known as a chip
butty) is a national delicacy
Traditions
Eating in Britain has traditionally been a functional necessity rather
than a pleasurable experience Potatoes are eaten with everything
(the average person gets through 100 kilos of them every year),
and the definition of a good restaurant is one that serves “hot food”
Britain is also home to the famous English salad, which consists of
half a tomato and a piece of lettuce, with earth and worms in-
cluded for free; and it’s the only country in the world where the
phrase, “I’m full” is the way you show you are satisfied with your
food In France, people often wish their friends or guests “bon
appetit” before a meal, and most other countries in the world have a
similar phrase except in Britain, where there is no equivalent ex-
pression
The Problem
Perhaps the best examples of bad food can be found in self-service
restaurants on the motorway In many other countries, most nota-
bly France, they take care to ensure that even this cheap, ready-
made food is of the highest quality But in England, this is where you
can find some of the worst food, with dry meat, cold chips and soggy
vegetables and everything covered in gravy to hide the taste A
waiter in France has to know about food and have an understanding
about service; and you'll find this excellent quality in even cheap
motorway cafes However, in Britain, you pay a fortune for service
and quality like that But is all British food like that? No, of course
not And things seem to be changing
For a Start, British desserts and cakes are some of the best in the
world In fact, they‘re so good that British school children are often ©
punished with “no puddings” if they don’t behave International
And apart from the desserts there are lots of fantastic traditional
British dishes, including the famous full-English breakfast, mouth- Language Academy
watering sandwiches, delicious soups, the wonderful Sunday roast,
amazing vegetarian restaurants and all the international food you
could possibly imagine including Italian pasta restaurants, Spanish English with British and Ameriean teachers
tapas bars, Indian curry houses and Japanese sushi bars Preparatory courses
for FCE,CAE, CPE, TOEFL, GMAT, IELTS
Times Change eGerman, Italian, French
These days, British food is even being recognised on an international
level In a recent survey of the top chefs and critics, Britain had
about 10 of the top 50 restaurants in the world British chef Heston ° Study abroad program
Blumenstal is probably the hottest chef in the world now; and an- ¢ Accounting courses IAS and GAAP
other British chef, Marco Pierre White (from Leeds) is the youngest © Corporate training
ever winner of a 3 Michelin star , ie
And that’s not all Bray, a tiny village in Berkshire, England has just International Certificate
5,000 inhabitants, but two 3-star restaurants; and Ludlow, another
small village in England, has three Michelin-starred restaurants
So, you see, there is good food in Britain You just need to know (+7 812) 314-69-73, 718-82-17, 315-76-04

LESSON 1 — THE BRITISH CHIP
In the first of our series on British food, the renowned British chef, Marc Lebifstec will demonstrate how to make British chips (known as French Fries in the US) Chips, as
you know, form part of the staple diet of
the British, and knowing how to make one
that conforms to British standards is essential
STEP ONE To start you need one potato
and one knife Hold the potato lightly in
your right hand, with the chopping knife in
the left hand ready to cut the potato
STEP TWO Firmly holding the potato, cut thick slices (and we mean very thick)
STEP THREE Fry the chips in oil until golden
brown
STEP FOUR Put large amounts of salt and
vinegar on the chip
STEP FIVE Consume the chip Compare the British chip to the standard, thin American
“French Fry” (now known as a “Freedom
Fry”) Which one would you rather eat?

“Im a Scotsman who is married to a French lady and | can honestly say
that there is not a lot of dif ference between everyday French food

In favour of British food
“Well, if British food is bland compared to the rest of Eu- rope - at least its safe to eat
The French for example have
an extremely bad reputation for hygiene.” Jim Brunton, Wales
“OK, so British food isn’t great, but what great contributions have other countries made?
Germany? Sauerkraut and
sausages! France? Horse
meat, snails and frogs’ legs!
Eastern Europe? Boiled meat and potatoes!” Sandra, Spain
“People’s opinion of British food is all based on ignorance They as- sume that we eat potatoes with everything But did you know, you rarely get a cheap meal anywhere in Europe that does not come with chips, especially France The difference is that we don't boast about our local cuisine.” Michael, England
“The British are much more adventurous when it comes to food - and that’s why they have one of the most varied selection of inter- national restaurants anywhere When | was in Britain, | once went toa pub in the East End of London that was serving Columbian tapas!”
Paula, Luxembourg
“British food is great When I’m in England | can wake up and have an
‘English’ breakfast, a slice of ‘Italian’ pizza at lunchtime, ‘Indian’
curry for dinner and a ‘Turkish’ kebab on the way home from the club What more could you ask for!” Kenneth, Mongolia
| first went to England as a student many years ago and | remember that all the food had no spices You had to put black pepper and salt
on everything However, all those cheap dinners of fish and chips and baked beans kept me alive and healthy during my days as a student, and I'll never forget it.” Bobby, USA
“There's no country like England for a good, healthy nourishing bowl
of thick soup.”
Crac, Ireland
“Having just finished a lunch of meat pies, | can honestly say that | enjoy British food Oh French cuisine is fine, but | just find it difficult
to hold my nose for any length of time.” Juice, USA
“The best thing about visiting the UK is traditional British food The best breakfast I’ve ever had is served at the bus station in Exmouth for 3.75 British pounds So to blazes with the French! And pass the brown sauce please.” Peter, USA
“Anyone who says they don’t like British food hasn't tried roast gammon in cider with fresh vegetables.” Shirley, Switzerland
“Who gives a damn what the French think of our cooking!”

Our mini-series on funny signs from English-speaking countries (© ) Ein ””””
Sẽ
This month we are looking at some deliberately funny signs See if you can explain the humour
behind the message Then, check out “Humour Analysis” section for a full explanation
1 There are two implied meanings in this slogan, “Seven days (without pizza) makes one weak”:
a) There are seven days in a week (“week” is pronounced the same as “weak")
b) Seven days without eating makes you weak (not strong)
2 As women are about to give birth, the nurse will often say,
“Push, push, push!”
To open a door, you need to “push”
3 There are two subtle meanings of “see” in this sign:
a) To see = literally to perceive with your eyes
b) To see = to find something that may interest you and that you might buy
1 Apizza shop slogan (London, England):
“Seven days without pizza makes one weak.” 4 The expression “to pick your nose” has a double meaning:
a) To put your finger in your nose in order to take something out
2 Ona maternity room door (Brisbane, Australia): b) To choose a nose
“Push Push Push.”
5 This sign is playing with the homophones “tow” and “toe”:
3 On the door of an optician’s (Hong Kong): a) If you give someone a “tow”, you use your car to pull their car,
“If you don’t see what you're looking for, you've come to the which is attached by a rope
right place.” b) “Tow” is pronounced the same as “toe” (the large “finger” on
your foot)
4 On the door of a plastic surgeon’s of fice (Delhi, India):
“Hello, can we pick your nose?” 6 The implication here is that if you keep your eyes on the road,
you won't be able to read the sign
5 At a towing company (Nebraska, USA):
“We don't charge an arm anda leg We want tows.” 7 The word “shorts” has two meanings:
a) Short circuits = if there is a “short circuit”, an electrical system
6 A billboard on the side of the road (Oklahoma, USA): is damaged because electricity went along the wrong route It is
“Keep your eyes on the road and stop reading these signs.” more common to refer to these as “short circuits”, although
“shorts” is also acceptable
7 Onan electricians van (Birmingham, England): b) Shorts = clothing you wear over the top part of your legs It is
“Let us remove your shorts.” typical to wear shorts when it is hot or when you are doing sport

Trang 9One day, a young farm boy accidentally overturns a wagon full
of corn The farmer who lives nearby hears the noise
“Hey, Jim!” the farmer yells “Forget your troubles
and come and have dinner with us
Then I'll help you get the
wagon back up.”
“That's nice of you,” Jim Cs
answers “But! don’t think Pa ——
would like it.”
“Nonsense, come on!” the farmer
insists
“Well, OK,” the boy finally agrees “But Pa won't like it.”
After a big dinner, Jim thanks his host “I feel a lot better now,
but | know Pa is going to be really upset.” “Don’t be stupid!” the
neighbour says with a smile “By the way, where is your Pa?” To
which Jim replies, “He’s under the wagon.”
The Frightened Patient
A man goes to see his doctor because he’s worried about an
operation he’s going to have the following week “Doctor, I'ma
little worried about the pain I’m going to experience during the
operation How much will it hurt?” And the doctor answers, “Well,
it varies from person to person; and besides, it's difficult to
describe pain.”
“| know, but can’t you give me some idea?” he asks, desperate
to find out what's in store for him
“OK,” says the doctor “Take your upper lip and pull it out alittle ”
“Like this?” the man asks
“No, alittle more ” the doctor replies
“Like this?” the man asks
“No, alittle more ” says the doctor
“Ah, like this?”

Brits eat 1.5 million cans of them They eat them with their bacon for breakfast, they eat them over a jacket potato at lunchtime,
and they eat them on hot toast for diriner
So why are they so popular? Some say it’s the perfection: every
bean is the same shape, and the sauce always has that familiar
creamy consistency And there's always a perfect ratio of bean to
sauce (51% to 49%) that hasn't changed since baked beans were
first invented
Others say it’s the wonderful contrast between the bland bean and its sweet sauce And still others say it’s the attractive design of the black and turquoise label that has a sense of timelessness to it
British people love that: it’s traditional, changeless and it’s been with them for decades and hopefully won’t ever go away or
change This gives the British a sense of reassurance
Perfection in a Can
Of course, there’s so much more to baked beans than just that On toast they are pure heaven The best thing is to start eating just as the sauce starts soaking through the hot buttered toast, so that you get slightly soggy bread
Then there is the speed at which your meal will be on the table It’s just a question of opening the can, heating up the beans and there
you have it
Baked beans are healthy too For every 100g of baked beans, there
is 7.7g fibre, 0.4 percent saturated fat, and 4.7g of protein There are also no artificial colours, no flavourings, and no preservatives;
and they're OK for vegetarians, or those on a gluten-free diet And all that for a mere 33p a can (about 50 euro cents)
The Downside
Of course, as with everything else in life, beans have their disadvantages For a start, half-eaten cans of beans placed in the fridge have a tendency to “disappear” And they won't reappear until months later when you find them at the back covered in a layer of mould
In addition, beans have a habit of going missing Every time you open acan of them, one of two of them will certainly fall out and hide away in the carpet, or behind the sofa or even in your bag
You'll find them later, when they're dry and white, and have left a
reddish stain on your carpet Beans are notorious for producing
excess gas too In fact, schoolchildren love eating them for precisely this reason
Beans also have high sugar content (over 25 g in every can - which
is the equivalent of eight sugar cubes) Lastly, no matter how quickly you eat your beans, they're always cold by the time you get to the last forkful And there’s nothing worse than cold beans: only weirdoes eat cold beans oh, and beware of anyone who eats cold beans directly out of a can That's really, really weird The Start
So, what's the most popular brand? And how did it all start? For most Brits, the number one brand of beans is Heinz As the 1967 advertising slogan said, “beanz meanz Heinz” The British are more loyal to Heinz Baked Beans than they are to any other brand The company was founded in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1875 The founder, Henry James Heinz, made his first overseas sale in Britain
in 1886 He eventually established his first factory, in Peckham (southeast London) in 1905 In the Sixties and Seventies, the British subsidiary accounted for more than 50 percent of the firm’s business; and continues to do very well to this day
A Cultural Phenomenon Baked beans are considered an important part of British culture
They've been used to raise charity (someone once sat in a bathtub fullof them); and they’re even in the Guinness Book of Records for the “Number of Baked Beans Consumed in Five Minutes Using Only
a Cocktail Stick”
In a survey carried out in 1998, Heinz Baked Beans were chosen as one of the products that best represents Britain And in another survey, British people chose Heinz Baked Beans to put in a special
time capsule
The sight of a can of baked beans can create feelings of nostalgia for many Brits After all, baked beans have been part of their lives for so long As children they had them for tea, then as students they lived off them because they were so cheap and filling So, older generations often associate their childhood and student days with baked beans So, will you be having some baked beans next time you're in Britain?

The section that makes grammar easy, interesting and fun
Mustn”t vs Don't Have To
In this month’s grammar fun section we'll be looking at the difference between “mustn't” and “don’t have to”
any more muffins
I'm going to get
The use of “mustn't” expresses a
very strong negative opinion:
“You mustn't do that!”, which basically means, “| don’t want you todo that”
“She mustn't act like that!”,
which basically means, “| don’t
want her to act like that”
“They mustn't be rude to the teacher!”, which basically means,
“| don’t want them to be rude to the teacher”
Notice how “mustn't” is a very personal thing, and is something felt strongly by the speaker
When we want to say that something is prohibited because
of arule, regulation or a law, we
can use some of the following expressions:
“You can’t leave at six.”
“Itis prohibited to leave at six.”
“Leaving at six isn’t allowed.”
“No leaving at six!”
“Leaving at six is prohibited.”
a
You don’t have to finish the food | won't be offended
Don't
have to give me
| your seat because |
like standing here
| like this
You don't have to wash the car, but we'd appreciate it if you did
Don't have to
We use “don't have to” (or
“Haven’t got to”) to say that
something isn't necessary:
“You don't have to do it”, which means, “it is not necessary for your
to do it, but you canif you want to”
Let's see a few more examples:
“She doesn't have to get a hair cut’, which means, “It is not necessary for herto get a haircut, but she can if she wants to”
“They don’t have to come”, which means, “it isnot necessary for them
to come, but they can if they want
to"
In British English, this can also be expressed with the construction
“needn't”:
“You needn't do it.”
“She needn't get a haircut.”
“They needn't come.”

Americans are fat, and that’s a fact More than half of adult Americans are overweight, and about 54 million of them
are obese, says a recent study Is it the genes? The inactive American lifestyle? The hamburgers and soda?
year because of dis-
eases related to obe- sity Medical experts make a distinction be- tween being over- weight and obese
Overweight people, they say, have a body weight that's too big in proportion to their height Obese people have an excessive amount of body fat in relation to their body mass
“Fat” people in general prefer to be called
“persons of size”,
which is the politically
correct term These
days, no one uses the term “fat,” except adolescent boys on the playground who throw dirt at fat girls
Haagen Dazs Ice Cream
Doctors are seriously worried about obesity After all, they see what
happens to obese people
Medical of ficials want obesity to be considered a public health crisis
If itisn’t, they say, the country will have a variety of problems, includ-
ing a decrease in labor productivity, high medical insurance costs and
a nationwide shortage of Haagen Dazs chocolate chip ice cream
The medical profession launched several marketing campaigns to
show Americans how to eat healthier In one advert, they explained
that ketchup is not actually a vegetable
Doctors spend a lot of time determining patients’ body fat They do
this by measuring a patient's waist and counting their folds of skin
“Every morning, | wake up eager to get to the office and measure
folds of skin,” says Dr Lionel Dunn of Buffalo, New York “I ask
myself, ‘how many will there be? Five, six, seven?’ Once, | found ten
folds on an Idaho woman That's the kind of day that makes me glad
to be a medical professional.”
Virgins & Cheese Products
So why are Americans so fat? Some say it’s because they spend too
much time on the sofa watching television and playing video games
When given the choice between exercising and lying on the couch
throwing potato chips in their mouths, most Americans choose the
latter
Health groups think that junk food is the main culprit Processed
foods and snacks, which are high in preservatives, chemicals and
unhealthy fats, form the basis of the American diet In other coun-
tries people eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables But in the US this is
rare Take American cheese as an example The most popular kind is
a glowing orange tube full of chemicals and strange fats Ameri-
by Laura Warrell (US English spelling)
cans put this “cheese food” on everything including hamburgers, piz- zas and ice cream
In 2004, Americans spent $110 billion in restaurants like McDonalds, Burger King and Wendy's In fact, studies show that McDonalds’
logo, the yellow M-shaped french fry known as the “golden arches,”
is more recognizable to American children than the Christian cross
Some children have even been seen wearing the arches on a gold chain around their necks
Fat People Unite Inthe US, no oppressed or minority group exists without an organiza- tion to support it For obese people it’s the “American Obesity Asso- ciation” This group aims to change public perceptions about obesity
The American Obesity Association wants people to realize that fat- ness is a disease, not a lifestyle choice
“Fatness is all about genetics,” says Mara Shell “We were just born that way Many people think we choose to stuff ten bags of choco- late cookies into our mouth and wash it down with a liter of Coca

Obesity organizations have lobbied congress about obesity issues
They want to focus on the following areas:
Fat People Fight Back
Years ago, there were lawsuits against the tobacco industry These
days, fat Americans are suing the companies they think are respon-
sible for obesity They argue that McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's
and Kentucky Fried Chicken misled them by enticing them with
greasy, salty and sugary food and not admitting how unhealthy it
was
“The fast-food industry has wrecked my life,” said Caesar Barbar,
125 kilos, one of the plaintiffs Mr Barbar said he regularly ate fast
food until 1996 when his doctor said if he continued, he would ex-
plode He had had two heart attacks and suffered diabetes by the
time the lawsuit came to court
“Of course | thought it was good for me,” said Jennifer Mackie, 150
kilos, another plaintiff “Besides, why would McDonalds lie?”
Crying Infants
In June 2002, Southwest Airlines, a major American airline, caused a
national scandal They announced that they would start forcing fat
people to buy two seats on airplanes Obesity advocates protested
Pacific Islanders According to the BBC, Pacific Islanders, especially the women from these islands, are the fattest people in the world Some experts say it's because of the diet of fatty tish and a lack of exercise One is- lander defended himself saying: “What else are gonna do on this is- land but eat?”
There were publicity campaigns and the protesters lobbied congress
to change the rule Overweight Americans admitted that a “passen- ger of size” can inconvenience other people, but argued that people using cell phones, crying infants, old people and people with disabili- ties can also cause inconvience to other passengers
In apress release, the American Obesity Association said, “the airline industry and its passengers have a history of accommodating the elderly, parents with strollers and persons with wheelchairs So why not accommodate fat people?”
“It's very easy,” said an anonymous airline employee “Old ladies don't take up two seats.”
Both cases are still in court
And The Winners
So what does the future look like for overweight people? Many people are fighting hard to eliminate obesity discrimination And these days obesity is being seen as a disease, and fat people as the victims
Whether this is true or not remains to be seen Either way, “persons
of size” have nearly succeeded in making Americans see them as ordinary people who are just a bit larger
Hamburger Nation
There was once a time in the United States when people didn't
eat hamburgers US president Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)
never had the pleasure of eating a double bacon cheeseburger
But then in 1904 something happened that would change the
world forever On a warm Saturday morning, at the 1904 World
Fair in St Louis, Thomas Puckerbutt arrived at his hot dog
stand at 10:06 AM to prepare for the day's hungry crowd
of visitors To his horror, he was informed that there
was a transport strike, and that no hot dogs would be
delivered for at least another week He was horrified,
shocked and desperate He would be ruined! He sat
down in front of his stand, crying inconsolably Then,
all of a sudden, Puckerbutt began to smile as he devel-
oped a plan to save his business At 11:23 AM the first
“hamburger” was born The crowd went wild over
this delicious creation By the late 1930's, the ham-
burger had become one of the most popular foods in
the country
38 Billion Burgers
Americans eat an incredible quantity of hamburgers Ac-
cording to a leading hamburger researcher, the average Ameri-
Hamburger Heaven
Hamburgers! Mm Delicious! The hamburger is one of America’s favorite foods and has helped make the USA
one of the fattest countries in the world Hamburgers are everywhere in America and no matter where you go,
you'll probably be no further than 100 meters from somewhere that sells these tasty pieces of cow meat This
month, Hot English’s very own Jeff Fenyo takes a look at America’s insatiable appetite for burgers
can eats nearly 14 kilos of hamburger a year This means that around 38 billion burgers are eaten annually At- tempts by mathematicians to calculate how many cows must be sacrificed each year to make all these ham- burgers have ended in failure The problem is that no one is certain what percentage of the cow actually goes into making the hamburgers served in fast-food restaurants
Do the hamburgers include the cows’ tongues? The tails?
The ears? The organs? Or are they 100% top-quality meat? Until the big fast-food restaurants reveal their secret recipes, the true number of cows used to make hamburgers will remain a mystery
Hamburger Eating Contests Americans love sport, and they've invented some re- ally strange sports that hardly anyone knows about
One of these is “Hamburger Eating” and “Hamburger Eating Competitions” These competitions are normally organized by hamburger restaurants or meat manufac- turers and attract contestants from all over the country
It's aserious sport and the professional contestants spend months training their stomachs to absorb huge amounts of cow meat in very short periods of time
Trang 17The competition itself is as tactical as a chess match and as spirited
as a game of American football Here’s how it works: the contest- ants slowly take their seats at the eating table and carefully observe their opponents, searching for any signs of weaknesses or nervous- ness As the piles of hamburgers are placed in front of them, it isn’t unusual for the competitors to laugh in a sinister way in order to intimidate the other competitors When all is prepared, the compe- tition judge points the starting gun in the air Ready, set go! The gun is fired, and the contestants dive into their hamburgers and shove as many down their throats as possible before the judge signals the end of the competition The contestant who eats the most hamburgers, and is still conscious and breathing at the end of the event, is the “Hamburger Eating Champion”
Spectators
It’s an exciting event, but it’s also disgusting Just imagine these sights and sounds: competitors stuffing their faces with so many burgers that the grease flows out of their mouths and trickles down their hands, arms and necks; loud and objectionable sounds coming from the competitors’ abused bodies; participants turning green from hamburger overdose and becoming violently ill in front of the spectators And the contestants aren't exactly the sort of people you get on Baywatch! It's vile, it's repulsive, but the people love it
There's still no television contract to broadcast these contests, but the demand for quality television is so high in America that the or- ganizers are confident that millions of viewers will soon see the competitions live on TV
Hamburger Consequences Hamburgers are popular, but they're also making the United States one of the fattest countries in the world Americans give the im- pression that they're obsessed with health and fitness, but the truth
is that most people are in terrible shape and have no interest in taking care of themselves These days fitness magazines conduct surveys each year to see which city will earn the title of “America’s
Fattest City” It’s an award that no city wants In case you’re curious,
the cities selected in 2005 as America’s fattest were: Detroit, Hou- ston, Dallas, San Antonio and Chicago Big cities with very big bellies
No matter what the health consequences, Americans will never stop eating hamburgers - they are too addicted to them In fact, we at Hot English Magazine are addicted to them as well For all of our readers who are hamburger lovers, here’s the recipe for the Hot English Burger: pan fry a half kilo of hamburger meat with onion and top it with Tabasco sauce (lots), bacon, ketchup, red onion, tomato, fried egg, mayonnaise and pig feet Place the mixture in a lightly toasted bun Give it a try, we're sure you'll love it!

fer? And when do they drink it?
by Laura Warrell (American English spelling)
Soda Americans are well-known soda drinkers Pepsi and Coca-Cola domi- nate the soda industry, though there are smaller companies trying
to compete There's the basic brown cola, plus an endless supply of other flavors, including orange, lime, grape and cherry Then there are crystal-clear drinks like Sprite and 7-Up, and a lesser-known product called Crystal Pepsi
Many people blame this high soda consumption for most of the country’s social problems, including obesity, heart disease and an inability to drive Apparently, in 2004, more than 95 billion litres of
soda were consumed which
means at least one can per day for every man, woman and child We make our subs wit

Foreigners in the States are often surprised when they sit down to
dinner with an American family and are offered milk But this is
perfectly normal as many Americans, especially children, have milk
with nearly every meal
At present, there’s an aggressive campaign to get Americans to drink
even more milk It’s healthy, they say, and prevents bone diseases
such as osteoporosis The milk industry also scares consumers by say-
ing 88% of women and 60% of men aren't getting enough calcium
in their diets, and how 28 million people already have bone diseases
Then, they push old ladies to show how easy it is to break a limb when
you're not drinking enough milk
For a long time, there was a series of television ads as part of the
“Got Milk” campaign They showed famous people wearing a “milk
mustache” (a line of milk above their upper lip) and saying something
meaningful about the drink Some of the people who have appeared
in the videos include Britney Spears, director Spike Lee and Sarah
Michelle Gellar
Coffee
Coffee is the number-one hot drink in the US Apparently, 52 per-
cent of Americans over 18 drink a cup of joe (coffee) regularly The
average coffee drinker drinks 3.3 cups every day; and many Ameri-
cans can’t start their day without it Regular coffee is basically a
weak coffee with hot water that some say tastes like mud
“Gourmet” coffee is what they drink in European countries such as
France, Spain and Italy, and has become more popular in the States
with the rise of cafes like Starbucks These cafes have introduced
the average American to things like cappuccino and espresso, as well
as exotically flavored coffees They have also managed to convince
Americans to spend four dollars, instead of the 50 cents they used to
pay, on coffee mixed with things like chocolate syrup, caramel and
whipped cream For many, sitting in a Starbucks is like sitting in a
McDonalds except that it’s green, the chairs are more comfortable
and it smells like coffee instead of meat
Alcohol
Americans have a poor attitude towards alcohol They don’t drink for
pleasure as the French, Spanish or Italians do They drink to get
wasted, trashed, annihilated, bombed, wrecked or just plain
drunk
Although 21is the legal drinking age in most states, many Americans
begin drinking in high school because of pressure from their friends
University is the place where most Americans start their relationship
with booze At fraternity parties, young people like to drink until
their blood is replaced by alcohol and they can no longer speak or
walk The real fun comes the next morning when they can complain
about their massive hangovers and entertain their friends with sto-
ries about how they “got totally wasted and puked all over the place”
Once they leave school and enter the workforce, Americans can en-
joy “Happy Hour” During Happy Hour, restaurants and bars offer
cheap drinks and food between five and nine, when the workday
ends Business executives and other professionals think of Happy Hour
as an opportunity to relax after work, get thoroughly drunk and start
casual relationships with colleagues
Spirits & Cocktails
More sophisticated Americans enjoy cocktails There are thousands
of fancy names for them, but some of the most popular are Bloody
Marys (vodka and tomato juice) and Screwdrivers (orange juice and vodka) Also popular are Daiquiris, which are made with ice and rum,
and come in strawberry, lime and other flavors Pina coladas are
coconut flavoured, and mudslides are made with rum, kahlua, choco-
late and ice cream
Americans also love to “do shots” A shot is a small glass of alcohol
that you drink in one quick gulp Typical shots are made with tequila,
Beer
The most popular alcoholic drink in America is beer In fact, the average American drinks about 100 litres of beer
a year Americans are as loyal to their beer brands as they are to their foot- ball teams There are “Beer of the Month” clubs, beer collectibles and even a beer cookbook, which has reci- pes with beer, and recipes for foods that go well with beer Beer compa- nies attract customers with provocative
in bikinis, or gorgeous girls who decide
to sleep with dorks simply because of the beer they’re drinking
One of the most successful beer com- mercials was from Budweiser In it, a group of friends greeted each other by happily yelling, “Whassup?”
There were many versions of the ad, including one in a karaoke club and another with Italian mafiosos This helped Budweiser sales, and led to an increase of idiots crying “whassuuuuup” every time some- one said hello to them So what will you drink on your next visit to the
States?
