My Foods

At the present time, some people might think that the United States is the country which mixes of many nationalities from all over the world. The United States is a huge country. People have different kind of food. They might have their own food, or their regional food. So we feel confusing and do not know for sure about the American food. In fact, people live in America know for sure that when we talk about America food, we mention about fast food such as bread, burger, hamburger, cheeseburger, French fry, hotdog, cheese, sausage, bacon, fried chicken and soda such as coke and Pepsi. Burger, Friend fry, and hotdog are originally from Germany, but they are adopted to be American food for along time. In addition, we can say that burger is American typical food and McDonald can be represents the American food. When people talk about American food, majority people think about McDonald. If we search on internet about American food, we will see the first page of the result is hamburger.

Hamburger is not the only traditional American food. Some parts of America, people can enjoy sea food in some season. In modern society, people are very busy and they do not have enough time to cook, so they usually go to eat out and go to fast food restaurant. The fast food restaurant is their best choices due to the time constraint. Being a student, I am very busy and sometime do not have time to cook; however, I rarely eat fast food. Moreover, fast food is not good for health. It contains a lot of fat, sugar, oil, Eco-lite meat, chemical substances and toxic. If we eat fast food every day, we will have many kinds of health problems. For example, high blood pressure, fate, high cholesterol, and diabetes. I like to eat hamburger one in a while, anyhow, I like salad. Salad is healthy food. I am not vegetarian, but I really like salad.

Cambodian is a small, and an agricultural country. Many kinds of fruits, vegetables and meats are plentiful and fresh. People are very busy working and making money, but people still want to buy fresh food, so they do not keep their food in the refrigerator. They have to go to the market to buy food every day. Unlike food in America, food in Cambodia is always fresh, no chemical added, and no coloring. Most Cambodian foods are made of fish and vegetables. They contain less cholesterol and fat. The main ingredient of the Khmer food is called “Prohok”. It is like a cheese but it is made of fished. When you go to visit Cambodia, don’t forget try some Cambodian foods such as “Prohok”. It is stinky but the taste is very good. Foods which are made of fish give high protein and do not have cholesterol like chicken, pork or beef. I really love my Cambodian foods. When I am talking about Cambodian foods especially the foods that I like, when I think of them, they make my mouth water. I am here for couple months, I rarely eat them and I miss them so much.
