As you know, I think American food is so big portion, so it is very difficult for Japanese people to eat all. However, I like the big portion because of my hobby. I like to do weight training and hard exercise. For that reason, I have to and want to eat meal a lot. Another, the dining hall of this university is a restaurant offering as much as one can eat for a standard charge, but, our university in, Japan we have to pay money for every meal. If I had to say, I prefer American style. America has sweet tea and unsweet tea, I do not like this style because it makes people fat. I could find many different culture and I thought knowing each culture is so important to live in other country. Along the way, I try to eat many American food and I want to recommend a lot of food to people who live in Arkansas.
ReplyDeleteAmerican foods are sounds great for me. I like some foods which made in America. For example, it is spaghetti, pizza and meat because I had eaten them in Japan too. However they are strong flavor and a lot of portion, and they are big for me, so it is hard for me to eat all. I like a salad very much. I felt to accustomed to American food. Cafeteria’s food is good, I felt these days. For example, I like pizza, salad, potato, French toast and more. I was surprised when I drank “sweet tea”. I have never drunk “sweet tea” in Japan. Usually, I drink unsweet tea in japan. I like unsweet tea. So I am not good at sweet tea. I often look the carbonated drinks somewhere in America. For example, it is coca cola, sprite and Fanta orange or grape. There are some carbonated drinks than Japan. And I am not good at carbonated drink because I could be drink it since twelve years old.
ReplyDeleteEvery day I go to the university’s cafeteria. It is very nice cafeteria. American people always smile for us, so I spend good time in the cafeteria. My favorite foods in America are American sweets. It is good taste so I like sweet taste. However, it is very big, too sweet, and have high calorie so I think that I have to go to gym and exercise every day. My dislike foods are hamburger and pizza. That taste is good, but it has strong taste. Most Japanese people like light taste so American food is too strong taste for the Japanese people. I want to eat Japanese food now. I especially want to eat Japanese sweets for example, “Youkan”, “Manju”, “Taiyaki” and “mothi”. Japanese sweets are very light sweet taste. I want to eat them. However, American sweets are very cute and colorful so I want to try various sweets in America.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised at American food because American food is bigger than Japanese food and American food’s calorie is higher than Japanese food so when I eat American food, I need to control portion. In addition, American food is so salty and sweet. Especially, sweet tea is my least favorite drink. Probably, I cannot drink it forever. However, I like stakes and Starbucks coffee. When I went to American Buffet with my friendship family, I ate a stake. It was good taste! I like Starbucks coffee so when I knew that there is it in UAFS, I was very happy but Starbucks’s coffee is expensive so I sometimes drink it. Now, I eat American food every time so I want to Japanese food. For example rice, natto, tofu, raw tuna and soba. These are my favorite Japanese food so I am looking forward to eat them after I am going to go back to Japan.
ReplyDeleteI think American food is really high calorie, a lot of artificially colored and big than Japan. My favorite American food is chicken and French fry. Yesterday I ate chicken at chick-fil-a. I was surprised this chicken. It was so delicious. Now I want to eat rice. I miss rice, natto, Japanese cake. I love rice, I eat rice every day in japan. But cafeteria isn’t have rice every day, so I was sad. But I think that I can live without rice because I found chick-fil-a. The smell of chicken on the grill increases my appetite. I want to go chick-fil-a once a week. So I think I’m getting fat these days. I have to try control my appetite. Second, my least favorite food is sweet tea and American dessert. I was surprised when I drank sweets tea since then. It is too sweet for me. So I always drink water. American dessert is looks so delicious, but taste is so sweat. But these days, I become used to American dessert.
ReplyDeleteAmerican food is delicious, but American food is big size and high calorie. So I have to take care of eating too much. I think I need to control my weight. My favorite American food is chicken. I like “chik-fil-A” at campus center. Yesterday, I went to there with my friends for the first time. This chicken is very delicious. Also, I like lemonade juice. I had never drunk lemonade juice in Japan. When I drink it at cafeteria, I though it tastes good. I drink lemonade juice from that time on. My least favorite food is “sweet tea”. For the first time, I drank sweet tea in American. It is very sweet, over sweet tea. I think I will not drink sweet tea in the future. I want to eat curry which my mother cooks. I like curry, but I have never eaten curry at eating out. So when I come back home, I will eat curry. However I do not think I want to eat Japanese food yet.
ReplyDeleteI come in America, I felt that Japanese foods is very delicious and healthy. American foods is very strong taste so I don’t like the taste. I was surprise when I went to cafeteria for the first time in Arkansas University because many American people ate Hamburger, French potato and Pizza. All things are bigger more than Japan. I thought I couldn’t do that but I getting used to eat American foods lately. I think that cheese macaroni is best of American food. Though it’s good taste, I miss Japanese foods for example Tofu and Natto kind of healthy so I always eat it every morning in Japan. I want to eat the dinner made by my mother because it’s good taste to me. I heard that Japanese food is very popular in the world so everyone should try eat healthy Japanese food. I don’t want to be fat this life so I think I have to go to gym every day.
ReplyDeleteAmerican food is very delicious. There is a difference with the Japanese food. The most favorite food in America is potatoes cuisine and chicken. For example potatoes cuisine, french fries, mashed potatoes, fried potatoes. Potatoes cuisine is very delicious, lot of nutrition and delicious all. Next I like chicken. I went to Chick-fil-A popular in the United States with Minami and Yuriko. I eat chicken hamburger and French fries. Their size was large. Stomach is full immediately. But I want to eat another time. Next, My least favorite food is sweet food. For example, sweetee, cake, sweet. There too sweet. I’ m not good. Japanese sweets are sweet up there. Last, I want to eat Japanese food! For example, rice, noodle, pickle, rice cracker, green tea. Come to mind a lot to think. Every day I said `I want to eat Japanese food`. However, I've got a little Japanese food. I eat Japanese food once in a while. After all Japanese food is delicious.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite food is biscuit and white gravy so far. It is delicious so much. I eat every morning. Also I love salad. I feel happy because I can eat a lot of vegetables here. I live alone by one self in Japan so I can’t buy a lot of vegetables. Vegetables are a little expensive and I can’t used up by myself. It is so good for the health. I dislike food is sweets in American. I think that American sweets are too sweet and high sugar also sweet tea. American foods are so high calorie. I want to eat ramen. I love ramen. I ate ramen every week in Japan. However it is so unhealthy. Ramen is high calorie and high oil but so delicious. But I don’t think I want to eat Japanese food yet because I like American foods of UAFS a cafeteria. I like this place. Now I think that I’m glad that I came here.
ReplyDeleteI think American food is so high calorie because everything is too much sweet. But, I think there is tasty. There are very similar ones to Japan for example, salad, potato, fruit, pizza, serial and so on. I thought also American foods are very big for me. Definitely I think I would get fat. Sometimes I really missed to Japanese foods, for example, Ramen, Udon, Soba, Rice ball, and more. Actually what I want to eat most is Sushi. There is also in the America, but it is more expensive than Japan. However, I have gotten used to the food here. I thought American drink is very variety. We can drink a lot of taste at the cafeteria. It is so good. However, I almost drink at unsweetened tea because it is very similar to the tastes of Japan. Sometimes I drink the coffee and lemonade. I think I would like to challenge about the food and drink more. To the extent that not fattening.
ReplyDeleteThere are points of difference in American food and Japanese food. American food is so big, sweet, salty, high calorie and use many food coloring for example pizza, soda, hamburger, sweet tea and juice but I like hamburger. Almost all Japanese like to eat rice at breakfast, lunch and dinner but there are not rice in school cafeteria so I eat pizza or bread or meat every day. I want to eat rice, curry, gyoza. And my favorite Japanese food is okonomiyaki. and ramen but okonomiyaki and ramen are high calorie food in Japan so I can’t say “ American food is bad”. A lot of American people eat meal with soda but Japanese people often drink tea or water. I was very surprised. These days I’m satiated with school cafeteria’s food but it isn’t altogether dislike American foods. I ate Subway in Fort Smith. It was very delicious. I want to go a lot of American food shop.
ReplyDeleteI have an image of American food as salty and sweet. When I came to America, I eat American food at fast time. I ate hamburger set in McDonald’s. That hamburger is very big. I was surprised it. I can’t ate up all food. Next morning, I was surprised breakfast. Cafeteria didn’t have rice. I ate rice every morning in Japan. It was sad. When I was first morning, I ate sandwich. It was good. I always eat meat at diner. I ate meat every day so I gain weight. Cafe smell good so I can’t control appetite. Maybe, I will get fat when I come back to Japan. Cafeteria vegetable is not flesh and bad. I like susi and curry. I went to FUJI. I ate susi. It was bad and expensive. I thought Japanese susi was fresh. I am surprised that cafeteria didn’t have curry. I love it. I want to eat Japanese food.
ReplyDeleteDifference between American food culture and Japanese one is many things. I think that I interest these differences because I think the food culture connects oneself with personality. I interest personality of all around the world too. Almost all American foods are high in calories, contain a significant portion of just one meal and have a strong flavor, so American people is very tough and have a strong mind. For example, beef, pork, chicken, pizza and hamburger are popular in America. In the meanwhile almost all Japanese foods are not high in calories, be small in amount of just one and have a delicate sensitive taste. Almost all Japanese traditional foods are very healthy, so Japanese people is very delicate and looks fragile. For example, Sushi, Soba, Tofu, pottage and Nattou are very popular in Japan. Finally, if you want to get American people’s tough body and strong mind, you should change food life. By the way, I'm scared of putting on weight.
ReplyDeleteGreat job everybody. It was interesting reading about your thoughts. I am sorry about the big portions, the high calories or very sweet food, that is part of American culture. Remember, you always have the option of working out if you feel like it is too much, or if you think you are gaining weight. Besides, when you get pass these details, you will come to enjoy the food here, mostly the home cooked meals.
