   American food is definitely multinational, just like its population. People from other countries when arriving to the USA brought with them their national recipes. Most of Americans don't eat home but prefer to go to restaurants. They can choose from many kinds of restaurants.  So, now all American food is partly Italian, partly Greek, partly Jewish, partly Chinese, partly French, etc. Very often traditional American food is associated with fast food, including hamburgers, French fries, hot dogs, pizzas and some other quick and easy-made dishes. The recipe of Hot dogs was taken from Germany.  Sausages in hot dogs were similar to Basset and called Dachshund. The American who brought this recipe forgot the German name and called hot dogs. Another American tradition involves salad bars .Many restaurants offer them to their visitors. The main rule of salad bars is to pay one price and eat as much as you want. Such national celebrations as Thanksgiving and Christmas many families are followed by roast turkey or stuffed duck. Another traditional American food is doughnuts. However, they were brought to the USA by Dutch immigrants in the nineteenth century. One can find all sorts of doughnuts in American cafes. The Coca-Cola story began in Atlanta in 1886. John Pemberton invented a new drink. Two of the ingredients were the South American coca leaf and the African cola nut. Pemberton couldn't think of a good name for the drink. Finally, Dr. Pemberton's partner Frank Robinson suggested the name Coca-Cola. Thirty years later the famous Coca-Cola bottle design first appeared. For many years only Coca-Cola was made. They only introduced new drinks — Fanta, Sprite in the 1960s. The recipe of Coca-Cola is a secret. Today they sell Coca-Cola in one hundred and ninety five countries. Hundreds of millions of people from Boston to Beijing drink it every day. It has the most famous trademark in the world.

      During the day Americans eat lots of ready-to-cook food. Americans drink a lot of juices and soda, eat much meat, fruits and vegetables, not much bread. However there are some principles of American cuisine (if we may call it so). Americans eat a lot. They have three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfasts are usually light, with just a plateful of cereal and a cup of fresh-brewed coffee. Sometimes in the morning Americans have cereal or scrambled eggs, milk or orange juice.       For lunch some families eat fresh salads, sandwiches or tinned soups, which require simply heating. Also they prefer chicken or fish, fried potatoes, vegetable salads and desert.

       Dinner is the most nutritious meal; some people have family dinner when all members of family have to be there. For dinner Americans usually have meat, fried or baked potatoes with ketchup or sour cream, corn, peas, sometimes macaroni and cheese or spaghetti; ice-cream, fruit or cake may be for dessert. Some families order a take-away food, such as pizza, sushi, Chinese food, etc.

                             The story of Coca-Cola

The Coca-Cola story began in Atlanta in 1886. John

Pemberton invented a new drink. Two of the ingredients were

the South American coca leaf and the African cola nut.

Pemberton couldn't think of a good name for the drink.

Finally, Dr. Pemberton's partner Frank Robinson suggested

the name Coca-Cola. Thirty years later the famous Coca-Cola

bottle design first appeared.

For many years only Coca-Cola was made. They only

introduced new drinks — Fanta, Sprite in the 1960s. The

recipe of Coca-Cola is a secret. Today they sell Coca-Cola in

195countries. Hundreds of millions of people from Boston to

Beijing drink it every day. It has the most famous trademark

in the world.

The story of the McDonald's company

In 1937 the McDonnald brothers, Dick and Mark, opened

little restaurant in California. They served hot dogs and

milk shakes. In 1945 they have 20 waiters. All the teenagers

in town ate hamburgers there. When the 1948 year came

they got paper boxes and bags for the hamburgers.

They put the price down from 30 to 15 cents. There were no

more waiters — it was self-service. So it was cheaper and

faster.

In 1960s the McDonald's company opened hundreds of

McDonald's restaurants all over the States. In 1971 they

opened restaurants in Japan, Germany and Australia.

Now the McDonald's company opens a new restaurant

every 8 hours. There are more than 14,000 restaurants in

over 70 countries.
