AMERICAN FOOD

John: Is it true, Lisa, that Americans always have eggs for breakfast?

Lisa: People often have toast and cereal, jam, yoghurt, things like that, but many people don’t have time to cook eggs. But if you go to a diner, you can get a big breakfast, and that usually includes eggs!

John: Do you always have meat and vegetables for lunch?

Lisa: Not always, no. In any case, I don’t eat meat.

John: Do people in the United States drink a lot of wine?

Lisa: Yes, they do, but they don’t drink it at every meal. They don’t drink wine at lunch and dinner every day. It depends on the person… I usually have a glass of wine at the weekend.

John: What do people drink then… at mealtimes?

Lisa: Water, juice. Some families drink milk with their meals.

John: Do you drink a lot of coffee?

Lisa: Yes, people drink coffee during the day. Many people have five or six cups of coffee a day. We usually drink it black. Other people prefer it with cream.

John: What’s the main vegetable that you find at most meals?

Lisa: I suppose we often eat potatoes with our main meal. Potatoes are very popular. But we also eat a lot of pasta, but we don’t eat pasta and potatoes!

John: Are there many people who don’t eat meat in the United States?

Lisa: More and more, yes. Every restaurant always offers several vegetarian dishes, and when people come to dinner you often check to see if there are any vegetarians.
