\"Many<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Noodles, potatoes, rice,
veggies fresh or pickled,
herbs and spices and yum! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome, welcome! Our table is set with the tools we need (chopsticks, a flat-bottomed spoon<\/a>, or our hands), and our senses are ready – let’s eat together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rice or corn or bread or noodles or potatoes could be the foundation of our meal – so many shapes and textures and flavors to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our food is more interesting because we add spices, herbs, peppers, tomatoes – each place in the world has its favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you’ve tried kimchi or other pickled vegetables. Molokhia and choy sum<\/a> are green vegetables that might be new to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beans, nuts, and soybeans are proteins that help our bodies stay strong, as are meats and seafood – look at all the wonderful ways they are cooked!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, the lovely sweet ways to finish our meals – ice cream, fruit, pastries! Bananas are the most-eaten fruit in the world – can you guess the second most popular? *<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Readers can learn to say “happy eating” and words about texture and “delicious” and “goodbye” in several languages, with phonetic pronunciations included for every non-English food word in the entire book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foods from 103 countries are featured in this attractive introduction to what we share around the table at mealtimes, fascinating for kids who want to know what their age-mates in other lands are eating and interesting for adults who want to expand their culinary horizons. Picture books are Everybody books!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where did your favorite lunch food originate?
