Fingers and Forks
Fingers and Forks
Have you ever eaten a hush-puppy? Did you ever taste toad-in-the-hole?
Do you think you’d like to try baked snails—or boiled octopus—or
frozen fish eyes?
Every one of these foods is popular in some part of the world. Two of
them, toad-in-the-hole and hush-puppy, are really just funny names that
have been given to certain foods. The others may seem strange, but many
people enjoy them—and you might, too, if you tried them!
We love to eat, and people in every part of the world have their
favorite foods. Some foods are plain, some are fancy, some are spicy,
some are sweet. Some foods are baked, some are boiled, some are fried.
Some foods are eaten with forks, some with spoons, and some with
fingers. Some foods we love and some seem awful. And some foods are so
good they have been adopted by people all over the world.
