The food we eat depends on (取決于) where we live,or which part of our country we live in. For example,in the south of China,they eat rice,but in the north of China,they eat noodles. In central Europe,people don't eat so much fish; they eat meat and sausages. In Australia,Germany,and Poland (波 蘭) there are hundreds of different kinds of sausages.

   In North America,Australia,and Europe there are two or more courses for every meal and people eat with knives and forks. In China there is only one course,all the food is together on the table,and they eat with chopsticks. In parts of India and the Middle East,people use their fingers to pick up the food.

   Nowadays it is convenient to transport food from one part of the world to the other. We can eat what we like at any time of a year. Bananas come from the Caribbean or Africa;rice comes from India or the US;strawberries (草莓) come from Chile or Spain.
