AMERICAN FOOD

I think that I write about difference Japanese food and American food. Because, I like to eating, drinking and cooking very much. I feel happy when I ate something. Especially, pizza, ice cream, cheese, cake, meat, fruit, tea, strawberry, pineapple, kiwi… So, I love food. But, when we ate a lot of food, we are very fat. I want not to be fat.
First, I consider eating Japanese food or American food. I like Japanese food. Because, Japanese food is low calorie. And, It adjust for me. But sometimes, I want to eat. Then, I eat American food. I like both food very much. My friend likes Japanese food. Because, Japanese food is good for health. And it is very healthy. So, she likes Japanese food. But, other my friend likes American food. Because, American food is very delicious. He likes hamburger and potato and pizza… So, he likes American food. This way, there are two patterns.
About Japanese food. I write my research result. In Japan, there is a lot of kind food. For example, Japanese food, Chinese food, Mexico food, Thailand food, American food, Vietnam food, India food etc… This way in Japan, We can eat a lot of country foods. And, Japanese food is sushi, miso soup, umeboshi, natto, sashimi, tennpura, sukiyaki, gyuudonn, kaisekiryouri, tofu, tukemono, wagashi, nikujyaga, yakiotori etc...
For some American people dosen’t like Japanese food. For example, Natto is very sticky and very stink. And, sashimi is fishy. Umeboshi is very very sour. Japanese food is bery healthy, but some American people dosen’t like Japanese food.
Characteristic of Japanese food is plain and no use oil in stock. That is to say, for reason that Japanese food is very helthy.
Second, about American food. I write my research result. It is any multiracial. These do not allow it to lack in eating habits in daily life thick in the faction the meat product and ,in a word, and dairy products such as the butter cheeses as for American's favorite one. As for staple food, there seems to be a lot of meats and be chiefly a lot of dishes of the center in bread and the cereal. General is a sandwich still, a pizza, pasta, a salad, a hamburger, and Mexican.
For example, The hamburger, the pizza, and the taco are ..meal in the home in the United States.. lunch.. popular in the one light ..tea and coffee.. in the morning in the cereal and bread. When the night comes, it seems to　eat the meat and poultry such as chickens and the steaks. Abounding in the dish of the United States eats the thick steak with the meat cookery also at usual home.
It is still a fast food as for the gastronomic culture in the United States. As for the number and the kind of the shop, it is very abundant, and the volumes are more different than hamburgers of Japan. The amount that the American eats is not odd. In addition, they pour with cola and eat potato chips, the cookie, and the doughnut, etc.Cola Pepsi seems not to be an exaggeration to have already called necessaries of the United States eating habits.
Feature of meal of the United States. The sweetness of sweet food doesn't have this in odd either. When it eats the muffin and the doughnut, etc. , the sound is made with melting ..sugar not finished... It eats applying of studying thoroughly sprinkling sweeter syrup on a sweet ice cream. And, The level of dissatisfaction is different though the vegetable is insufficient when dining out also by Japan in the United States. Pickles that exist in an unskilled hamburger might become the only vegetables. And, they seem to try to cover this vegetable shortage by drinking the vitamin preparation. The person who cooks and doesn't do in the United States is not a little. In the dish, it doesn't go to be unpleasant and to dine out every day, and it is labor and time or having been made from wanting prepare meal without disregarding it is a frozen food as much as possible. It is like soup, a pizza, pasta, the main dish, and the dessert, etc. and all the one are the frozen foods.
　Actually，I went abroad for a month. From start to finish, I was looking forward to eat. Because, I like eating and cooking very much. And American eat with relish. Then, I think that there were a lot of appetizing food in America. Of course, in America, there were a lot of appetizing food. But, I was very surprised. It was difference meal custom in Japan and America.
I write survey result.
First, the house which I stayed did not go shopping for meal. My host family could have ingredient delivered to their home. So, I could not go shopping for meal in America. But, everyday meal was very delicious for me.
Second, one day, my host mother gave me carrot for lunch. But!! the carrot was raw. I can not eat raw carrot. I am very embarrassed when lunch. Because, in Japan, I do not eat raw carrot at my house. And, Carrot in Japan is bigger than American carrot. Japanese carrot looks like long triangle. But, American carrot looks like little ellipse. So, This is one difference.
Third, American dessert was too sweet for me. Especially, cake was too sweet. So, I could not eat. I think that cause is many sugar into a lot of dessert But, I like cookie very much. Because, Japanese cookie is very stiff. But, American cookie was very soft. So, I like very much!!! In other words, I like soft cookie.
Fourth, almost American food is very very big for me. For example, American size pizza is as twice as larger than Japanese. I could never eat such a size. This is very surprised too. And, volume of something to drink is too many. McDonald in America, we can drink many times. That is to say, another helping free!!! We were very happy. But it is too many for me. And, in America, there are only Soda, water, milk. In Japan,
Fifth, one night, my host family and I ate very delicious ice cream. Chocolate on the ice cream is not too sweet. And it was very good for me. But!! The container of ice cream looked like bucket. There was not small ice cream, There was big size ice cream only. I like ice cream very much. So, I’ m very happy.
This program has changed my life and my character. Minnesota has been very valuable to me. Because, I had a lot of good experiences. For example, talking with Americans especially my host family, staying at their house, visiting many places and shopping. I was very happy during my time in Minnesota.
When I’m in Japan, I don’t speak English in every conversation. So, I’m not good at speaking English very well. But, in Minnesota, I had to try to express myself to my host family in English. I found it difficult to talk with them, I was very frustrating. But I attempted to speak English fairly well. For example, I decided not to be afraid and I used a dictionary. As a result, I feel that I have grown up a lot. I heard lectures, I learned about the education system, important things for living, the first teacher in Minnesota, and race issues. I am pleased that I have had the experience to learn a lot about American culture.
Now, I regret that I couldn’t speak more to my host family. But I want to continue to speak English with other Americans. So, I decided to try to practice more and I would like to come back again ! And, I want to play with my host children.
I pleased at going abroad with my class mate.
