European Eating Habits
Posted in Global Fitness with tags European American eating habits, Health/Fitness on March 3, 2010 by cavs535“…the things were put on the table in a slovenly outlandish fashion, fish, soup, and meat all at once, and puddings and tarts and cheese all at once. No finger glasses, and a patched tablecloth–in short a want of style and neatness which is found in every hotel in England”
A quote summing up how Europeans are against the heating habits of the Americans. Continuing on saying that the American dish is not preparded well. Greasy and rich of “butters and fat”.
‘God sends meat and the Devil send cooks’ is a saying which applies with full force to this country. There is food in abundance, but it is dressed after a manner that is enough to appaul even a hungary stomach” – Margaret Hall
Going on to state how the abbundance of food on our plate is even appealing to a full stomach, which should be changed to the European way of preparing food.
