巴布亞紐幾內(nèi)亞 - 食物 Papua New Guinea - Food
Hello, friends! It is time to open our Window on the World again. We are learning all about the Independent State of Papua New Guinea. Today we'll see what kinds of foods the people enjoy. If you are a visitor you will be invited to share a meal in a home there. Don't worry, you don't have to eat everything on your plate. Guests are always encouraged to take some food home with them, too!
Usually, two large meals are eaten each day with snacking throughout the day. Breakfast is called "morning food" and the meal eaten later in the day is called "afternoon food." A popular food is taro. Other foods that are grown on the island include sweet potatoes, yams, bananas, & coconut. Many people often fish and enjoy all kinds of seafood. Some farmers raise pigs and chickens for food- Some unusual foods that I'm not sure I'd want to eat include eels, bats and even kangaroo in some parts of the country. I'm not very brave when it comes to trying something exotic. How about you?
Well, it is time to close our Window on the World today. Next week we'll discover the many wonderful animals that make their home on Papua New Guinea. Have you ever heard of the New Guinea Stick Insect? Be sure to be here to find out about this unusual master of disguise! Farewell for now.
