Listening and speaking three, listen to the interview again and decide whether the statements are true t or false f. Today, our guest is Steve fox. He's here to talk about cultural influences on american food. Welcome, Steve. Thank you. It's nice to be here when IT comes . to american food. Some say no food was ever invented in america. What do you think. mom, that's not really true. For example, some say the hamburger comes from hamburger in germany, but they're wrong. The recipe for the meeting and a hamburger may have come from germany, but the final hamburger we know today was definitely created by americans. You mean there was a mixing of cultures. Food from overseas changed when he arrived in the states. right? And there are many more examples of mixed culture dishes, like not chose, for example. Oh, I just love noos mexican corn chips covered in cheese. 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. What do you mean . they're not chinese? You're kidding. But every chinese restaurant in amErica has them. yes, but there are known in china. About one hundred 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. wow, that's interesting. So they're like a mix of the chinese, american and japanese cultures. You got IT, and then we have gone mbo. The spicy still IT was invented in new orleans over two hundred years ago and mixes french, african, native american and spanish cooking. So it's the food of many different cultures all in one dish. exactly american cooking off and mixes things from around the world to make something completely new.
