A well-known English magazine invited five people to answer a series of question

 Awell-known English magazine invited five people to answer a series of

questions. One of thequestions is: Do you enjoy foreign food? Match the name of each person to oneof the statements given below.

56. John Harvey:

  In fact if you go out to arestaurant, it’s very difficult to find the “British” cooking, but you can findalmost anything else: French, Italian, Chinese, Indian and so on. London is full of foreign restaurants. I love trying “new dishes.” I think you canunderstand a lot about another culture from its food.

57. Jo Baker:

  I like foreign food, butnot all. I particularly do not like Indian food, although I quite enjoy a mildcurry I make myself. I like most European dishes, but Spanish food is quite lowdown on my list. However, I think you have to travel a long way to beat goodold English cooking. What can be nicer than the aroma of a piece of beefroasted in the oven, surrounded by crisp roast potatoes and served with pipinghot Yorkshire puddings, vegetables and gravy? From my point of view, I thinkforeign food is all right when you are abroad. You see, that’s just part of theenjoyment of travelling to another country. Foreign food is also fine for anodd night out to restaurant, but for every day please give me good old Englishfood.

58. Gabby Macadam:

  On the whole I enjoyforeign food, but having said that I can think of dozens of foreign disheswhich I simply can’t stand. You see, they have fish in some way or other and Inever eat fish in any form. I have found that many foreign dishes are servedwith a kind of sauce. I think it is the accompanying sauce that hides all sortsof problems. I am not so sure that I would be as fond of them as I am if they wereserved without the sauce.

59. Len Dangerfield:

  When we English peopletravel abroad, we always make a great fuss about studying the menu but alwaysend up with steak. You see, when I’m abroad I always miss our home cooking. Imean, I’m used to English food. Sometimes I do go to restaurant to taste someexotic dishes, but most of the time I still prefer to have English food. Youknow, it’s always difficult to get used to food in other countries.

60. Peter Hawke:

  I like foreign food. Iparticularly like Indian food. Well, I’m married to an Indian girl. She is agood cook. I’m so lucky to have her cook for me every day. I think Indian foodas well as other foreign foods is generally tastier and spicier than Englishfood. Traditional English dishes, like roast beef and Yorkshire pudding andfish and chips, are quite well-known abroad. But I must say as a nation we arenot particularly good at catering. As far as I’m concerned, I think we shouldlearn to cook more interesting dishes and make our food tastier and morevaried.

B. I can’t standthose foreign dishes which contain fish in some way or other, and I’m not sosure that I’m fond of many foreign dishes which are served with a kind sauce.

C. I think foreignfood is all right when you are abroad, but for every day, traditional Englishfood is always my first choice.
