Indian restaurants serve food from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. North-Indian food is the most common: spicy curries cooked in oil and served with rice or different types of bread. South-Indian food is often vegetarian since most southern Indians are Hindu and eat little or no meat.

People in Britain are more likely to eat fast food than go out to eat in a posh restaurant. A hamburger and French fries is the most popular fast-food meal in Britain, but not all fast food is American. Kebab houses, often run by Greek or Turkish Cypriots, are also very popular.
People spend less time cooking now. An increasing number of people eat convenience food in the evenings. Convenience meals are already cooked – all you have to do is heat them up in the microwave.

When the Spanish adventurer Hernбn Cortйs went to Mexico in 1519, he was looking for gold and riches to take back to Spain. And he found something else, too: the people of Mexico called it cbocolatl – we call it chocolate.
The people who lived in Mexico at that time were called the Aztecs. The Aztecs had learnt to take the seeds from cacao tree and grind them to a powder, called cocoa. Cocoa powder is full of food energy. When cocoa is mixed with milk, the result is chocolate. Chocolate is now a favourite sweet all over the world.
A lot of the world’s cocoa today comes from African countries. Cameroon, Cфte d’Ivoire, Ghana and Nigeria are the main African cocoa producers. Brazil and Ecuador, in South America, are the other main cocoa producing countries.
