Potatoes and Rice
The potato is a tuberous crop, introduced in the 16th century in Europe, by Spanish sailors, from the Andes. Potatoes used to be the main food for the Inca’s and, soon after being imported, they became important food in Europe. Potatoes contain minerals and a lot of vitamin C and B and no fat. Further more they exist for 80% of water, which makes them low on calories. Therefore they contribute highly to a healthy meal. Today, unlike in the first centuries of European cultivation, when lack of genetic variety made the crop vulnerable to deseases, many different varieties are grown in Europe. The Dutch are consuming 89 kilo’s of potatoes per person, per year and they have , after the Us, the largest potatoe processing Industry of the world.
Transition needed…
Rice is a grain and it s grown in those parts of the world with high rainfall and cheap labour, like Asia and Africa, because of its labor-intensive cultivation, which needs plenty of water. Rice is high on calories and contains lots of minerals and vitamins, accept for vitamin A. Although rice is the most important nutrition to more than half of the worlds population, in Holland people eat 4 kilo’s per person per year, which is not much compared to the consumption of potatoes. The past 10 years there is a tendency of growing consumption of rice at the cost of that of potatoes, though. This is due the fact, that more varieties enter the European markets, and that the knowledge about use and taste has grown.

What exactly did you mean by this sentence, Zusje: “Rice is high on calories and contains lots of minerals and vitamins, accept for vitamin A.”?
Did you mean to say except for vitamin A?

@ Zusje
Accept and except do not sound the same: [ ks ] vs. [ ks: ] The vowels in the first syllables are likewise not the same in nature.

It is okay, Zusje. I just was trying to understand.

@ Zusje
bed, bat, bet, and bad all sound differently since they are composed of different monophthongs. Minimal pairs exist between /bɛd/ and /bɛt/, /bæt/ and /bæd/, with the only distinction being voicing in the coda: whether the alveolar plosive is voiceless or voiced.

I watched the videos, but I did not like them, because the first I did not understand the video and for me was boring. The second video was a little more better, but I want to know the ingredients for that dish.
My favorite food are the tacos al pastor, I love to eat Tacos al pastor, they are easy to prepare, If you want to make a taco, you only need a small tortilla, a little meat, cilantro, onion, slaces of pineapple and red or green sauce; all these are into the tortilla and you have to add a little lime and a dash of salt.

Delicious food, what can’t I say about it!!!
I love eating meal, vegetable, rice, pastas, desserts, drink a cup of wine and any kind of typical food, but to be honest I’m not sure if I really Mónica, if you are not sure about something, research. have a favorite dish, I just enjoy eating food an that’s it.
Probably the thing that I must enjoy is eating desserts like a piece of cake, some ice cream, cookies and strawberries coverts with chocolate, god even with the fact to talk about it makes me feel hungry, haha.
I remember ones when I ate a piece of cake in a very good restaurant here in Puebla, it was 3 years ago, I never imagine the combination between banana and kiwi could be possible but really it was so delicious!
The most of the time I eat in my house, even when my mom cooks very well is not the same like eat in a good restaurant,probably the taste is different and obviously they have a lot of dishes that we just can enjoy in that place.
Wait a minute, I can’t finish my story without talk about typical candies. I don’t know if in another country this is common but at less in Mexico it is so if someone has the opportunity just tastes it, it doesn’t matter what kind of candy is because all of them are delicious.

I do not like japanese and chinese food really, I can say that seafood is the kind of food that I most enjoy. Fried shrimps with garlics or cocktails of shrips with lemon, onions and sauce of tomatoes are my prefered.
I believe in each country or regions of the world there are delicious dishes of food in accordance with the natural resources for human comsumption. for example in our country all dishes contain chilli practically, because this ingredient is part of our culture, traditions and gastronomy, likewise our national production.
Mexican food is large and varied but I can say that the most delicious dishes I have eaten were in my native state. The most delicious food for me has been the meat of tourtle, in the same time I tried eggs of tourtle too, although definitely I prefer first of all the meat of armadillo for it special flavor.
