Text: The Menu

The structure of the menu:

The classical French menu has more than twelve courses. Modern menus usually have two or three courses: Appetizers or snacks;

Soups;

Entrees;

Main courses;

Desserts.

Many restaurants call the first three courses «starters».

Appetizers can be hors-d’oeuvres, pates, or natural oysters. These dishes are usually cold. They stimulate the appetite and are served at the beginning of the meal.

Soups may be thick potage or thin consomme. Soups are usually served hot, but can be served cold.

The entree in the classical French menu is a course served between the fish and the main meat courses. In the modern menu it can be seafood dishes, salads, small fried sausages or fish.

The main course is the most substantial course of the meal. Guests usually choose their main courses first and then select other courses. When chefs design menus, they usually start with the main course and then plan the other courses.

Dessert is the sweet course at the end of a meal or before coffee. In Britain it can be fruit and nuts, or a pudding. Coffee can be served with chocolates, biscuits or fruits. The most popular dessert is ice cream.

Text: We are what we eat

Let’s try to imagine the life of a vegetarian, an individual of about thirty trying to be healthy, seeking a girl with similar testes, but so far unsuccessfully He gets up at seven o’clock, does his morning exercises, shaves his cucumber-like face, and has a scant salad with a glass of orange juice for breakfast Doing this he can console himself that he saves at least one and a half chicken, a bit of cheerfbl cow with big calm eyes, and provides his body with vitamins

Then he switches on the TV-set and sees ““Pelmeni Bogatyrskie” - tasty and helpful for your health!”, “McDonald’s hamburgers - everything you need and even more!”. This all affects the man’s nerves and stomach. But he is a strong- willed person: soy-beans, bananas, cuccumbers, tomatoes... stop! No cucumbers - it s winter now, and this means that cucumbers are genetically designed Ml of nitrates (even caterpillars die from the smell), in spite of their shiny look. So the poor victim of vegetarianism has to be satisfied with oranges, and grows thinner and weaker than a dystrophic top-model.

In summer - oh! He comes to the Caucasus to rest and admire its beauty But he is considered a madman who is going to commit suicide, because it’s really impossible not to taste the wonderful, delicious, healthy meals, full of meat and cheese in all variations. By the way, isn’t this food a special secret of the famous Caugasian longevity?

At last, sitting at the table with a beef-steak in one hand and a carrot in the other the man can choose according to his stomach and a piece of friendly advice.

1.eating meat, milk and eggs doesn’t mean eating them in enormous quantities, giving up fruits and vegetables at the same time;

2.even the best vegetarian products can’t replace meat and give you all the necessary vimins;

3.you don’t kill rare species of animals like baby-pandas or “otis tarda” and eat them, whereas cows and chickens are rather fertile and not likely to disappear from the earth’s surface;

4.eat whatever you like, not too much and not too little;

5.remember the Chinese or Japanese - they eat even snakes and live happilly for ages.

Text: Vitamins

The food constituents known as vitamins are important in nutrition even though they are required in small amounts. Vitamins are essential for good nutrition and health and for normal development the principle members of vitamin groups are A, B, C, D.

We obtain the most part of vitamins directly from food. Vitamins A was first discovered in butter, egg yolk, fish liver oil and green vegetables. It can be obtained from other foods of animal origin. Our body can manufacture it from carotene found in green leaves and some tubers.

This vitamin is stable to heat. It is a fat-soluble substance and does not dissolve in water. But it is not stable to light, especially to ultra-violet light. Foods which are rich in vitamin A are butter, cheese, cream, eggs, fish, oil, fruits liver, milk. It is essential for eyes, nerves growth and the maintenance of bodily vigor at every stage of existence.

Vitamins B. The exact amount of vitamin B for human health is not known. But it prevents “beriberi” and other severe nervous disturbance in a human body. In common with the most other vitamins vitamin B is necessary for normal growth.

Vitamins C. The citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, grapefruits) are sources of vitamin C. Tomatoes, raw cabbage and onions also contain vitamin C. Apples, bananas, carrots and potatoes contain some, but they are important sources only if eaten in large amounts. If shortage of vitamin C causes scurvy, the teeth fall out.

Vitamin D or sunshine vitamin is really “stored sunshine” in food. This storage is due to the presence of ergosterol, a fat like substance in food, which is called a provitamin D. Under direct explosure to the sun or ultra-violet light for short daily periods, this substance is converted into vitamin D in the body. This vitamin is developed and maintenance of bones and teeth. Sources of vitamin D are: butter, egg yolk, fish liver oil, oily fish.

Answer the questions.

1. What is the essential part of nutrition?

2. What are the members of vitamin groups?

3. From what do you obtain the vitamins?

4. In what was the vitamin A discovered first?

5. How can our body manufacture vitamin A?
