Today we talk to food blogger Grace Lentini about the food of New England, and how to eat it!
We’ll also talk about American eating habits.
When in New England, you’ve got to try the seafood. Boston had a huge fishing industry, Maine is famous for lobster, and Rhode Island is a great place to find calamari.
You want to try all of these, but if you don’t want to gain weight while doing it, Grace says to consider three things:
- Portion Sizes: Restaurants in the U.S. will sometimes bring an overwhelming amount of food to your table. Think about sharing a portion with a friend, ordering a half-portion, or taking some of your meal to go.
- Fried Food is Fattening: It might be better to order a meal that has been baked, boiled, broiled or grilled.
- Raw Seafood: Experience local seafood raw if possible! Oysters on the half shell are a New England favorite.
Next, learn how to get better at English the way a chef gets better at cooking.
Have you ever tried any of these?
