Q. 1. Tell me about the types of food that people eat in your
country.
Answer:
I guess that it is fair to say we all love to eat, but what we eat
largely depends on where we live, and what kinds of foods are available
there to consume. For example, where I live, our main foods are steam
rice and curries- curries that are made with vegetables, meats and fishes
by mixing them with varieties of spices in proper measures. We also eat
a lot of “bread” in combination with curries or some sweets that we like.
Of course, the food, which I just mentioned above, are regular day
foods for regular occasions. When there is a special occasion, we cook
foods like “chicken biriyani” or “mutton biriyani” by mixing a certain kind
of long-grain rice, such as basmati with a great aromatic flavour, with
meats of our choice while adding a mixture of freshly-ground spices in it
in order to make the dish even more delicious. Then, there are of course
fast foods which we also enjoy eating on a limited scale.
Q. 2. How are the eating habits now in your country different
from eating habits in the past?
Answer:
Traditionally, in the past, people in my country relied heavily
on home-cooked food, such as steam rice, curry and bread along with
local fruits and vegetables. But, in the last couple of decades, we have
seen that some “not-so” traditional food items (of course, in the context
of my country’s food habits) such as pasta, pizza, French fries, burgers
and sandwiches, mostly cooked and served at restaurants and fast food
places, have also made their ways into the menu of our regular foods.
As a result, we are becoming more and more “reliant”, especially in the
big cities, on fast food instead of home-cooked food which has ruled our
appetite for hundreds of years. We are even ordering for “home
delivery” which was almost impossible to imagine even a decade ago!
