Food Talk



Conversation, vocabulary and video activity

Go over the following food discussion questions in small groups.


  • What do you usually have for breakfast?
  • Do you go to fast-food restaurants often?  How often do you eat out? Do you ever order food at your home?
  • What is your least favorite food?              
  • Do you think “we are what we eat”? Why (not)?



Watch the short film EAT by Rick Mereki in which 3 guys travel to 11 countries  for 44 days trying out different foods.

  • What do you think of the film?
  • Can you identify the food shown?
  • Is there anything you would or wouldn’t like to try?
  • What kinds of international cuisine do you like?

difficult to remember.

and those you hate or are allergic to.  
Then add the rest of the words little by little.
