Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer for each of the following questions. Food Firsts
How much do you know about the history of some of your favorite foods? Do you know
when people in England started dishes? Do you know in which countries were first pizzas or
hamburgers first made? The facts might surprise you.
Many people think the English found out about curry from people in India in the 1600s. In
reality, wealthy English people were eating dishes made with curry spices hundreds of years
before British ships traveled to India. Cooks of wealthy English families during the time of
King Richard I were making curry dishes, and in fact, the word "curry" can be found in an
English language cookbook as far back as 1377. As for pizza, this dish was probably first
made in Persia (what is now Iran). The Persians were eating round, flat bread with cheese in
the 500s. That was nearly 1,000 years before pizza caught on in Naples, Italy!
Finally, let's look at the truth behind hamburgers. Many people think hamburgers are an
American food. However, according to some stories, hamburgers came from Hamburg,
Germany. A German named Otto Kuasw created the first hamburger in 1891. Four years
later, German sailors introduced hamburgers to Americans. Where foods come from isn't
nearly as important as how they taste; as long as they are delicious! So, go get some of your favorite food and dig in.
