(1) I am always both amused and annoyed when I hear foreign people criticize English food. “It’s unimaginative”, they say. “It’s boring, it’s tasteless, it’s chips with everything and totally overcooked vegetables”. “It’s unambitious”, say the French, “all you do is roasts with jam”. (We eat apple sauce with pork.) That’s the bit they find really shocking, but then the French are easily shocked by things that aren’t French. When
25
I ask these visitors where they have experienced English cooking, I am astonished by their reply. “In Wimpy Bars and McDonald’s Hamburger restaurants”, they often say. I have won my case. Their conclusions are inexcusable.
(2)I have a theory about English cooking, and I was interested to read that several famous cookery writers agree with me. My theory is this. Our basic ingredients, when fresh, are so full of flavour that we haven’t had to invent sauces and complex recipes to disguise their natural taste. What can compare with fresh peas or new potatoes just boiled (not overboiled) and served with butter? Why drown spring lamb in wine or cream or yoghurt and spices, when with just one or two herbs it is absolutely delicious?
(3)It is interesting to speculate what part factors such as geography and climate play in the creation of a country’s food. We complain about our wet and changeable weather, but it is the rain which gives us our rich soil and green grass. Abroad poor soils meant more searching for food, discovery and invention, whereas our ancestors sat down to plenty without having to take trouble.
(4)If you ask foreigners to name some typically English dishes, they will probably say “Fish and chips” and then stop. It is disappointing, but true, that there is no tradition in England of eating in restaurants, because our food doesn’t lend itself to such preparation. English cooking is found in the home, where it is possible to time the dishes to perfection. So it is difficult to find a good English restaurant with reasonable prices.
(5)It is for these reasons that we haven’t exported our dishes, but we have imported a surprising number from all over the world. In most cities in Britain you’ll find Indian, Chinese, French and Italian restaurants. In London you’ll also find Indonesian, Lebanese, Iranian, German, Spanish, Mexican, Greek... Cynics will say that this is because we have no “cuisine” ourselves, but, well, you know what I think!
А36) The idea of the author is to
1)criticize English cuisine.
2)praise French cuisine.
3)pay tribute to English cuisine.

А37) The author suggests the idea that criticizing English food is 1) tasteless. 2) groundless. 3) thoughtless.
А38) The author’s theory is that English cooking is special due to
1)its undisguised simplicity.
2)its unimaginative character.
3)its unreasonable pricing.
А39) It well may be that English cooking was influenced strongly by
1)famous cookery writers.
2)European cuisine.
3)the country’s geography.

(A43)___In the last two years, American street food has been reinvented and reinterpreted to reflect the changing ways Americans eat. According to “Street Food: Culinary Trend Mapping Report” from the
27
Center for Culinary Development (CCD) and Packaged Facts, this food renaissance will bring more small plate snacking, more food products sourced and prepared in eco-minded ways, and flavorful global food, all fast, fun and handy.
(A44)___Enticed by the convenience and affordability of street food, along with its often gourmet flavors and forms, consumers are flocking to their local lunch stands for fast but satisfying meals, as well as enjoying new low-cost global street food-inspired restaurants.
(A45)___“Street food is changing the conversation around food by creating new, vibrant and diverse communities socially connected by a shared interest in a new way of eating. At various turns it is highbrow meets lowbrow, local and eco-friendly, socially conscious and globally diverse,” said CCD CEO Kimberly Egan. “Street foods provide another avenue for consumers to explore new flavor adventures at an accessible value.”
(A46)___There are nowadays three major forces driving the core street food trends. While fine-dining chefs are serving upgraded street food in restaurants or creating their own carts and trucks, new foodie entrepreneurs are making specialized, high-quality cuisine available on the go. Hot dogs are also getting a boost from better quality meat and a more diverse assortment of toppings, many with global roots.
(A47)___Street food is an international staple and today we are welcoming new versions stateside. Roman Porchetta, or stuffed and pork belly-wrapped pork roast, has become the hot choice for sandwiches and entrées at small cafés, independent restaurants and farmers markets. Indian Wraps and Chaat (portable snacks) are showing up in independent fast casual eateries nationwide, fusing Indian flavors and familiar handheld forms to put a new spin on traditional Indian fare. New Antojitos, or masa-based Latin street foods – the Venezuelan arepa, the Salvadoran pupusa and the Mexican huarache – combine convenience with flavor exploration and novel forms.
(A48)___The street food category has become a place of exciting combination, whether it’s applying eco-minded virtues such as organic, sustainable, and locally sourced ingredients and earth-friendly vehicles to classic street foods or having home cooks fuse favorite global flavors and forms, like satay, crepes and tacos, with more American ingredients and occasions.
