英文原版对话1000个:1234 Ecuadorian Food

 　　Katia: Hello Felipe, how are you?

　　Felipe: Fine thank you and you?

　　Katia: Good, good. Listen, I heard that you know a lot about Ecuadorean food. Can you tell me a little bit about it? What is your favorite or what is it that you don't like? Can you just enlighten me a little bit?

　　Felipe: Well, in Ecuador, well pretty much all the food in Ecuador is delicious. For example, we have fritada which is some fried meat, pork meat, and also potatoes and corn because I love corn and there's also some typical dish called ceviche. Ceviche is a coastal¹ traditional food and it's made out of shrimps² and lemon and tomato. I think it's quite unique and nowhere else in the world you can find something like that. It's quite delicious. And there's also a really spicy³ food so maybe that's the kind of food that I don't like too much because it's too spicy and it makes you sweat.

　　Katia: It sounds actually very exotic. What about staple⁴ food in Ecuador? What is it, the staple food? For example in Mexico we have tortilla. What about Ecuador, what is the most common food?

　　Felipe: Well, yeah, in Ecuador we also have tortillas but they have different names. For example we have arepas which are made of corn also so the staple food in Ecuador is similar to Mexico and Colombia also because it's made, it's composed of corn and potatoes and mainly people in Ecuador they love potatoes and corn and especially corn because there are many different kinds of corn so they can make many different kinds of soups and also a kind of a bread made of corn and cookies and so on.

　　Katia: Hmm, it really sounds delicious. Now I'm very curious to try it but thank you for enlightening me about Ecuadorean food.

　　Felipe: Oh, you're welcome. Have a nice trip.

　　Katia: Thank you.
