Where do our favorite foods come from? The truth may surprise you. Did you know curry isn’t Indian? Did you know Americans weren’t the first to eat hamburgers? Or did you know pizza wasn’t created in Italy?

First, let’s talk about curry. 【1 But in reality(事实), wealthy English people were cooking with curry spices (香料) hundreds of years before British ships traveled to India.

2 Cooks of wealthy English families created curry dishes, and later these dishes became popular in other parts of England. 3 The Persians were eating round, flat bread with cheese in the 500s-nearly one thousand years before pizza became popular in Naples, Italy!

Finally let’s look at the truth behind hamburgers. Many people think hamburgers are an American food. 4 A German named Otto Kuasw made 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—delicious! 5

A. However according to some stories, hamburgers came from Hamburg, Germany.

B. So, go and get some of your favorite and enjoy it.

C. Many people think the English found out about curry from people in India in the 1660s.

D. As for pizzas, this dish was probably first made in Persia(波斯).

E. In fact, the word “curry” can be found in the English language as far back as 1377.
