1. What does the qoute mean?
2. What is the writer’s purpose of using the quote in first paragraph?
The French author Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin once wrote, “Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.” Put more simply, this means “You are what you eat.” Most people today relate this saying to healthy eating. However, Brillat-savarin was actually referring to our personality, character, and culture.

Retell the text
Do you think “culture and cuisine go hand in hand”? Give your reasons.
Yes, because so much of a culture is based upon food and how it is eaten and served.
No, with the impact of globalization, all kinds of food are available everywhere, so food no longer reflects cultures. In addition, in this fast-changing world, everything is changing, including cuisines.
Critical thinking
Group-working
Imagine that it is true that people's personalities are closely linked to the foods they eat. What does eating the following foods tell you about a person?
spicy food vegetarian food junk food seafood sweets chocolate rice noodles onion garlic bacon ham sausage cabbage mushroom bean curd
Possibly, people who like spicy food love excitement and new experiences. And people who like junk food like to enjoy life without worrying about the future.
