    Understanding an English menu depends not only on knowledge of particular dishes, but also on
    familiarity with cooking techniques. The key to these ways of preparing food is the cooker itself.
    Contrary to many students’ expectations, the cooker is not the person who prepares the food - that
    is the cook - but the machine used to supply heat.
    Most cookers have four hot-plates, usually situated on the top surface. Other names for hot-plates
    are gas or electric rings. These are used for boiling, steaming, poaching, frying and for
    making chips. Below the hot-plates, you normally find the grill which delivers heat from above.
    Grilled bacon and toasted bread are commonly eaten for breakfast in Britain. Below the grill, is a
    chamber called the oven which is used for roasting and baking. A roast potato is peeled
    and cooked in oil, while a baked potato remains in its jacket.
    Some words on the menu assume more than one process. For example, a mashed potato is
    created first by boiling and then by mashing - crushing the boiled potato with a fork. Butter is
    usually added to give the final product a smoother texture.
    Discussion questions:

    1. "The government should make it more expensive for farmers to use


    pesticides and more profitable for them to grow organic food."

    2. Which age-group in your country eats most fast and convenience food?
    What could be done to encourage these people to eat more fresh food?

    3. Should the law limit the number of fast food restaurants in our towns?

    4. Should suppliers be permitted to irradiate fruit and vegetables to make


    them stay greener for longer on the shop shelves?

    5. Do you think you can get all the nourishment you need from a vegetarian
    diet? Would you be happy to eat a vegetarian diet for a week?

    6. The Hay diet encourages you to separate protein from carbohydrate,


    while the Chinese "Ying & Yang" diet encourages balanced eating.
    Can you describe any special diets which are followed in your country?

    7. Should countries try to grow all their own food or is it better to depend
    on trade to meet your food needs?

    8. Many people in Britain eat too much sugar, butter and salt. How healthy
    are eating habits (a) generally in your country (b) in your own family?

    9. Are you for or against genetically modified food?
