摘要： What is the purpose of these texts? A. To provide information of living in New York. B. To provide directions of city traffic in New York. C. To give visitors a guide to New York. D. To give a brief introduction to the history of New York. B When dinning in restaurants, Americans usually order drinks first, then soup, salad and main course. This is somewhat a different order way from that in Europe. Until about the middle of the nineteenth century, Americans didn't have to worry about whether the salad came before or after the main course since they didn't eat salad at all. Champing(嚼) on greens was once considered womanish, and Americans preferred to get the greens indirectly, after they had been served with rabbit or deer. The change of public taste toward the salad may be attributed to New York's Delmonico brothers, who originally introduced smorgasbord from Europe, and served it in their restaurant. Such an unfamiliar thing became so popular that by the end of the nineteenth century, their Waldorf salad had swept the country. Europeans still champ on greens after the main course, as a way of the sense of taste, and being ready for the cheese. Why Americans eat their salad first is uncertain. The following joking suggestions might make sense: "salad first" may fill you up without any worry about fattening; to avoid customers' impatience with waiting, as the restaurant serves salad first to keep them busy while the main course are being prepared; eating uncooked food while one is waiting for the cooked food may be a way of announcing that one is not wasting time, which is seen as a kind of goodness; or probably unfair to the restaurant, this custom has been encouraged by the merchant as a trick-it will be less noticeable if the meal is not rich enough as it comes after "free" salad-after all, rabbit food is much cheaper than the rabbit.
