  People in different areas of the world have very different ideas about what is good to eat. If you were an Eskimo near the North Pole, you would enjoy the raw meat from seals ( a large sea animal that eats fish and lives around coasts or on floating pieces of ice). If you were a nomad in the desert, you would prefer the roasted meat of sheep. Americans cook the meat of many different animals, but perhaps their favorite meat is steak. Americans also eat a lot of chicken, as well as fish and other foods from the sea. Some people in India do not eat meat or fish at all. They are called vegetarians ( person who, for humane, religious or health reasons, eats no meat).

  Even when people in different parts of the world eat the same food, they often prepare it quite differently. If you were in Germany, you would find soup that is thick and heavy. If you were in China, you would find soup that is thin and clear. Many people like butter that is fresh and firm, but some people—in India, for example—like butter when it is melted into an oil. If you asked some Americans how they liked their steak cooked, you would get all kinds of answers. Some like their steak well-done, while others like it rare. Many prefer their steak medium—that ishalfway between rare and well-done. Also, people living in different areas of the same country often cook foods differently.
