During this week and next we will be doing a comparison/contrast essay. Since I was recently in India, I thought of several differences between India and the U.S. One in particular is breakfast. At all the hotels in India we were served American breakfasts, if that is what we wanted; however, we also had the choice of Indian food for breakfast. Sometimes I had soup with lentils, rice, fresh fruit and Indian bread. We always had tea with milk too. In Tucson I usually eat oatmeal with walnuts and raisins, toast with butter and jam and tea for breakfast.
I really enjoyed the Indian breakfasts, but I was also happy to have my usual food in my home too.
I would like you to compare something between your country and the U.S. (or just Tucson). What is one difference? Maybe it has to do with food, meals, clothes, or customs. Tell your classmates about it and respond to one person. Do this by Friday, the 13th.

In china, i usually drink soup and eat bread and vegetables for breakfast. i think that is very nutritional. in contrast, i usually just drink milk in the morning because i always don't have enough time to cook. i think that make me stupid. But live in another country make me more independent.
Hi Ning,
DeleteWell I am sure that your mother made your breakfast in China and it does sound delicious. Here, it is more difficult to make a nutritious meal because of the distances to the grocery store!

There are many differences between U.S and K.S.A such us meats, cloths, malls and language (:
In the KSA people use hands to eat , but in the U.S people use spoons to eat. That was one difference.
Thank you for read.
Hi Abdulla,
DeleteYes, using your hands to eat is a very big difference between countries. When you are in your own apartment, though, you can do what you want when you eat.

I really enjoyed the Indian food, but I didn't find good Indian restaurant in Tucson. In fact, the time of meals is difference between my country and USA. For example, in Saudi Arabia lunch and dinner time are different from lunch and dinner time in USA, but breakfast is seam time so, the lunch time in my country between 1 and 2:30 in the afternoon and the dinner time we don't have a specified time.
Thank you and have a good weekend
HI Fahad,
DeleteYes, times for meals can be very different. Our big meal is an dinner, not lunch.
There is a good Indian restaurant called India Ovens on Campbell near Glen.

In Tuscon, divers always let the people who walk go first, almost everyone. But in my city, divers never think about people.And in Tucson, the govenment care about disables very much. You can see it when you take a bus. L think we should learn from it.
ReplyDeleteI don't know who wrote this. Please write your name. Yes, taking care of disabled people is very important. I agree.

ReplyDeleteI usually drink my Arabic coffee with dates every morning, but when i moved to Tucson i change to drink black coffee because it is hard to find Arabic coffee her in Tucson.
Hi Mohammad,
DeleteYour coffee with dates sounds very good. If you do drink American coffee, Caffe Luce on Park near University blvd. is very good. It is much better than Dunkin Donuts.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteThis is Housam.
It is going to be nice to talk about the difference between my country and the USA about the food.
I like to share you about the most common food in my country which is rice with meat. In fact, in my country we make rice with chicken or fish or lamb for lunch or dinner and sometimes people make it for both lunch and dinner . That is different in the USA because American people are cares about beans and hamburgers. Finally, each country has especial dishes.
Housam,
DeleteFood in your country sounds delicious. I have to say though that American people eat many more kinds of food than just beans and hamburgers.
Ellen
Hi, Ellen
ReplyDeleteI want to talk about Diet Culture difference between China and America.
The main difference between Chinese and America eating habits is that unlike, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares.
The second difference is that Chinese people usually use chopsticks to eat food; by contrast, Americans generally eat food with a knife and fork.

Hi Nina,
DeleteI didn't think about the fact that food is shared from the table in China. I think that is a nice custom.

Hi

There are many differences between the food i used to eat in Kuwait, and the food i usually eat nowadays in USA. When i came to The United States, I was searching for arabic food such as kabsa and another meals here but i didn't find. Then i used to eat american food such as sandwishes and burger. I found one big differencebetween them. The diffrence is eating by using hand. I found that it's hard to eat by using hand in USA. It's not sort of tact.
I'm sorry for late mrs. Shenkarow
Yes Ghazi, eating with one's hands is done only with sandwiches, chips and cookies here. It must be a big difference to eat here when compared with eating in Kuwait!
