Read the text and answer the questions choosing the right answer.

Line number

1. How come it is so difficult to find English food in England? In Greece you eat Greek
2. food, in France French food, in Italy Italian food, but in England, in any High Street in the
3. land, it is easier to find Indian and Chinese restaurants than English ones. In London you can
4. eat Chinese, Portuguese, Lebanese, Japanese, Russian, Polish, and Italian - but where are
5. the English restaurants? It is not only in restaurants that foreign dishes are replacing
6. traditional British food. In every supermarket, sales of pasta, pizza are booming. Why has
7. this happened? What is wrong with the cooks of Britain that they prefer cooking pasta to
8. potatoes? Why do the British choose to eat spaghetti instead of shepherd's pie? Why do they
9. now like cooking in wine and olive oil? But perhaps it is a good thing. After all, this is the
10. 21st century and we can get ingredients from all over the world in just a few hours.
11. Anyway, wasn't English food always disgusting and tasteless? Wasn't it always boiled to
12. death and swimming in fat? The answer to these questions is a resounding "No', but to
13. understand this, we have to go back to before World War II .
14. The British have in fact always imported food from abroad. From the time of the Roman
15. invasion, foreign trade was a major influence on British cooking. English kitchen, like the
16. English language absorbed ingredients form all over the world - chickens, rabbits, apples,
17. and tea. All of these and more were successfully incorporated into British dishes.
18. Another important influence on British cooking was of course the weather. The good old
19. British rain gives us rich soil and green grass, and means that we are able to produce some
20. of the finest varieties of meat, fruit and vegetables, which don't need fancy sauce or
21. complicated recipes to disguise their taste. However, World War II changed everything.
22. Wartime women had to forget 600 years of British cooking, learn to do without foreign
23. imports, and cook their home-grown food. The ministry of Food published cheap, boring
24. recipes.
25. The joke of the war was a dish called Woolton pie (named after the Minister of Food!).
26. This consisted of a mixture of boiled vegetables covered in white sauce with mashed potato
27. on the top. Britain never managed to recover from the wartime attitude to food. They began
28. to believe that British food was boring, and they searched the world for sophisticated, new
29. dishes which gave hope of a better future. The British people became tourists at their own
30. dining table and in the restaurants of their land! This is a tragedy! Surely food is as much a
31. part of our culture as our landscape, our language, and our literature. Nowadays, cooking
32. British food is like speaking a dead language. However, there is still one small ray of hope.
33. British pubs are often the best places to eat well and cheaply in Britain, and they also
34. increasingly try to serve tasty British food.
