FOOD AROUND THE WORLD Damjan: Eunice, you come from El Salvador. Is the food in your country very different from the food in Slovenia? Eunice: Well, yes and no. We eat all kinds of meat, chicken, turkey, pork and beef. We also eat a lot of vegetables and what you call exotic fruit, like pineapple, mango, papaya, and so on. We also eat soup, but not very often. As a matter of fact, I seldom had soup at home but here, in Slovenia I eat it quite often, especially during winter. I like it because it warms me up. Perhaps I should mention the frog and iguana farms, where they raise the animals for food. We also eat a lot of fish, of course. In the past many people in my country ate turtles and turtle eggs, but not any more. Turtles are endangered and are now protected by law. Damjan: Natasha, what is the most popular food in your country? Natasha: Well, I come from Georgia, which is in the Unites States. We lead a very fast life so we don’t have much time for cooking. There are a lot of fast food restaurants and they sell a greater variety of food than here in Slovenia. You can have different kinds of burgers, salads, and soups. Chinese and Mexican fast food restaurants are also very popular. Not to mention the many Italian pizza places. Most Americans can’t imagine life without fast food restaurants. Damjan: Eunice, what is your favourite food here in Slovenia? Eunice: Oh, it’s ice-cream. Vanilla, pistachio and all types of fruit ice-cream. I think your ice-cream is the best in the world. It’s so soft and made from real fruit. Natasha: I agree. I like it, too. But I don’t like the beans over here.
