Interviewer: Today our guest is Steve Fox. He’s here to talk about cultural influences on American food. Welcome, Steve!
Steve: Thank you. It’s nice to be here.
Interviewer: When it comes to American food, some say no food was ever invented in America. What do you think
Steve: Hmm ... That’s not really true. For example, some say the hamburger comes from Hamburg in Germany, but they’re wrong. The recipe for the meat in a hamburger may have come from Germany, but the final hamburger we know today was definitely created by Americans.
Interviewer: You mean there was a mixing of cultures Food from overseas changed when it arrived in the States.
Steve: Right. And there are many more examples of mixed-culture dishes. Like nachos, for example.
Interviewer: Oh, I just love nachos! Mexican corn chips covered in cheese!
Transcript
Steve: Yes, they’re delicious, but they’re not traditional Mexican food. The recipe was actually invented by a Mexican cook for his American customers. Then there are fortune cookies ...
Interviewer: What do you mean
Steve: They’re not Chinese.
Interviewer: You’re kidding! But every Chinese restaurant in America has them!
Steve: Yes, but they’re unknown in China. About 100 years ago, someone in San Francisco put a piece of paper with a fortune on it inside a Japanese-style cookie, and the fortune cookie was born!
Interviewer: Wow! That’s interesting! So they’re like a mix of the Chinese, American, and Japanese cultures.
Steve: You got it. And then we have gumbo, the spicy stew. It was invented in New Orleans over 200 years ago, and mixes French, African, Native American, and Spanish cooking.
Interviewer: So it’s the food of many different cultures, all in one dish
Steve: Exactly. American cooking often mixes things from around the world to make something completely new.
Transcript
Imagine you are invited to a potluck dinner at an American friend’s house. Work in pairs and discuss what special dish(es) you will take. The following questions
may help you.
1. What food/snack from which area/ethnic group will you bring
2. How is the food prepared and what is it made of
3. How is this food special
A potluck dinner
Potluck dinners are common in the United States, especially for large informal parties or social gatherings. You should always bring enough food to feed all the people in your group, plus food for one or two extra people. You should try to bring something you made yourself, even if it is something quite simple. At the potluck dinner, you can eat anyone’s food.
A: What should I bring to the potluck dinner this weekend
B: Why don’t you make a dish from your home province
A: You mean a Hunan dish
B: Yeah, why not I bet they’d love it!
A: Well, I guess I could make Hunan Steamed Fish Head with Diced Hot Red Peppers. It’s delicious and really colourful.
B: Really You can make that dish How do you make it
A: Easy! Slice open a fish head and cover it with a chilli and bean sauce. Then just steam it for 10 minutes.
B: Sounds so easy! You could make it at your friend’s house. That way it’ll be fresh.
A: Great idea! I’ll ask my friend.
Sample
1. Listen to the passage about Native Americans. Mark the pauses that you hear. The first sentence has been done for you.
No one really knows exactly | when the first people arrived | in what we now know as California. || It is likely that Native Americans moved to California at least fifteen thousand years ago. Scientists believe that these settlers crossed the Bering Strait by a land bridge which existed in prehistoric times. In the 16th century, the native people suffered greatly after the arrival of the Europeans. Thousands of them were killed or forced into slavery. In addition, many died from the diseases brought by the Europeans. However, some survived these terrible times, and today there are more Native Americans living in California than in any other state of America.
2. Listen again and repeat.

Classify and organise information
We can better understand a passage by classifying or organising the information in it. Classifying means deciding the kind of information, e.g., dates, numbers, opinions. Organising means putting things in order, e.g., according to how old, how much, what kind. Sometimes it is a good idea to draw a diagram
to organise the information in the passage.
