WHAT WE LIKE TO EAT

What do children like to eat in your country? Four children from around the world introduce their favourite foods to us.

Hi! My name is Ahmed. I am from Malaysia. I want to tell you about durian. Do you have durian in your country? Durian is a big fruit. It is green and spiky outside but yellow and soft on the inside. It’s delicious, but it smells bad. Actually, it smells so bad that we can’t take it on public transport like buses or trains. I eat lots of durian because I think it’s important to eat fruit every day. How much fruit do you eat every day?

Hi! My name is Paul. I am from Jamaica. I love rice and peas. I want rice and peas every day. Jamaican rice and peas has coconut, onion, spicy peppers, and of course rice and peas. It’s vegetarian because there isn’t any meat in it. Do you have rice and peas in your country?

Hello! My name is Hekla. I am from Iceland. My favourite food is pönnukökur. Pönnukökur are Icelandic pancakes. I love them. They are very thin and sweet. There are many ways to eat them. I like eating them with strawberry jam. Are there pancakes in your country? How often do you eat pancakes?

Hi! My name is Ai. I am Japanese. My favourite food is ramen. Ramen is a kind of noodles. We eat ramen in soup. There are vegetables, eggs and pieces of meat in the soup, too. Ramen is not healthy, so I only eat it once a week. Do you eat noodles?
