Report: How
Italian students see traditional British food.
Introduction
The aim of this report is to show what Italian students
think of British cuisine. It is based on a survey of 9 students.
Traditional meals
Understandably, a large number of students thought that
British dishes are too heavy, especially Shepherd’s pie or baked potatoes.
Nevertheless, a few of them felt that the use of butter on meat makes it
tender.
Fried food
Not surprisingly, several people agreed that fried food is
tasty and practical. On the other hand, most adults would not recommend it
because it is highly calorific, in particular fish and chips.
Cake and biscuits
The most common opinion is that English bakery is delicious,
even though sometimes it can be sickly, for example Devil’s Cake. It is thought
that the use of sugar is an advantage for the flavour more than for health.
Recommendation
As a result of this survey, I would strongly recommend
balancing British specialities in your diet. I would also suggest exercising to
prevent obesity.
