Food is interesting. It’s also interesting that different food has different meanings in different countries.

Onions—In Egypt, many farmers use the onion as a symbol of truth. When they have different ideas with each other, they often have an onion in their hands and put it up high to show the truth is in their hands. A town in Switzerland has the Onion Festival. It is on the fourth Monday of November. Food shops and restaurants make all kinds of onion food on that day.

Tomatoes—They are the “Number 1” food. They are a kind of vegetable and a kind of fruit. They are very helpful. They’re important to hamburgers and salad. They may taste bad if there are no tomatoes. In some countries of Europe, young men and women often pick tomatoes for each other when they are in love.

Carrots—We can usually see them in vegetable salad. In Holland, the carrot, onion and potato are country food. People in some countries call the carrot “Queen”.

Potatoes—They have two other names—“apples in the forest” and “the second bread”.
