Nowadays, many people don`t eat meat. We call them vegetarians. Vegetarians don`t eat meat, but they usually eat fish and animals products as eggs, milk etc. People who don`t eat meat, milk, eggs and everything what comes from animals, we call vegans.
I can`t live without meat, but I think , that it is more healthy to live without eating meat. But human body needs animals proteins so we need to eat eggs, butter or drink milk.

I think, that the Slovak diet is not very healthy. We eat too much red meat, fat meat, we eat few vegetables and fruits. In our country many people drink to much alcohol. Favourite meals are sweet dishes such as pancakes, omelettes or plum dumplings.
Our national meal are dumplings with melted sheep cheese and fried bacon sprinkled on the top. It`s not very healthy meal, but it`s very good.
Many Slovaks need to have soup for their lunch. The best known Slovak soup is a hearty cabbage soup with smoked pork sausage that often contains mushrooms, and sometimes plums, especially at Christmastime.

When most people think of American cuisine, the first meal that comes to mind is hamburgers, French fries, and Coca-Cola. Thanks to the spread of American fast food restaurants around the world, this meal has gained international popularity.
The Americans have the Thanksgiving day. On this day the American families gather together to share the national meal of turkey, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, cranberries, and pumpkin pie.
The arrival of immigrants throughout the centuries has expanded American cuisine to include a wide array of international dishes and tastes.

Among British specialities belong smoked Scottish salmon, country pastés made from pork livers and chicken or roast beef and pudding. The English cookery is famous for meat puddings and meat pies.

To every meal belongs something to drink. Many people prefer water, mineral water, juice, lemonade or another non-alcoholic beverages. But very popular are alcoholic beverages as beer or wine, too. In a restaurant you can order beer served in bottles or on tap.
Beer is the product of alcoholic fermentation of barley and other cereals. Originally, beer was an alcoholic beverage flavored with malt and grain. It was flat, slightly sweet, and spoiled quickly. When brewers began adding hops, they found that it gave the beer a slightly bitter taste and increased its shelf life. When, during the brewing process, hops are added, along with the type of yeast used has led to different types of beer.
We know red and white wine. The exact origin of wine is unknown. Wine fermentation takes place in much the same process as it did centuries ago. Although technology has come a long way, there are still many uncontrollable variables in the process. For example, the specific type of yeasts that grow in different vineyards vary, thus the quality of the finished wine will also vary. This fact accounts for why wine from certain countries is considered superior to wine from another country.

Every cuisine in the world has something special. We can try many national meals and drinks when we want. Not everything is tasty for us, but many people like them. We can eat what we want, whether it is healthy or unhealthy. It depends only on us.
