3 high-quality

  • Eva Let’s find a café and have a quick snack. And I could really do with a refreshing drink.
  • Leo I’m dying of hunger! I need a decent meal.
  • Eva I know you have a healthy appetite, but you had a hearty breakfast only three hours ago! Well, how about having a soft drink and a bag of crisps now, and a proper lunch later?
  • Leo Crisps will only spoil your appetite. Look, this restaurant looks good and the set menu is reasonably priced. Let's go in.

Common mistakes

We say international food/cuisine, NOT world-wide food/cuisine. A Chinese/ Mexican/French meal is what you eat in a restaurant. When referring in general to the food of a country or culture we say Chinese/Mexican/French food/cooking/cuisine.
