Unit 11 All About Food Text A Conversation: What are you going to get? Text B: Chinese cuisine: Hot pot Exercises Language Learning Three friends, Ann, Rita and Peter, are having dinner together at a restaurant. They are looking at the menu and trying to decide what to order. Rita: So many things look good.. What are you going to get, Ann? Ann: I don’t know yet. I’m trying to get back in shape, so I should stay away from the carbohydrates, especially in the evenings. Rita: So, no bread or pasta for you tonight! Peter: I’m strictly a meat-and-potatoes person. I’ll probably get the steak sandwich. What about you, Rita? Rita: Actually I don’t eat meat. I’m a vegetarian. And I probably can’t have the soup because they usually make soup with chicken or beef. Peter: Oh, you don’t eat meat. But you can’t even eat something with chicken broth? That must be hard for you! Rita: Not really. You get used to it. Peter: But how do you manage to get protein and vitamins and minerals? Rita: There’s actually plenty of protein in vegetable sources, especially things like beans and tofu. And plants are full of vitamins and minerals. Peter: But don’t you miss the flavor and variety of meat and fish? Ann: Flavor and variety? Ha! I bet you’ve never been to one of Rita’s dinner parties! Trust me, if you could cook like she can, you wouldn’t miss meat at all. Rita: That’s sweet of you to say, Ann. Peter: Really? So, next time when we get together, why don’t you cook for us? I’ll bring a dessert. Ann: And I’ll bring the wine. Rita: Well, sure. I love cooking for people. What should we have? Ann: Something vegetarian of course, but really interesting and flavorful. Peter: And low-fat and low-carbohydrate. Rita: Hmmm, maybe some kind of Thai curry, and we can go easy on the coconut milk and the rice. Peter: Oh, wow, that’s great. I can’t wait. Waiter: So, have you decided? Ann: We’ve decided about dinner sometime in the next few weeks, but not about dinner today. Peter
