Americans like to drink orange juice and coffee. The English people drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink lots of beer, and the French drink wine every day.
The kinds of meat people like to eat are also different from one country to another. Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. New Zealanders eat sheep, but they never eat goat (山羊) meat. The Japanese don’t like to eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy eating raw fish (生鱼).
