Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer for each of the questions from 46 to 50.
Food Firsts
How much do you know about the history of some of your favorite foods? Do you know when people in
England started cooking curry dishes? Do you know in which country pizzas or hamburgers were first
made? The facts might surprise you.
Many people think the English found out about curry from people in India in the 1600s. In reality,
wealthy English people were eating dishes made with curry spices hundreds of years before British ships
traveled to India. Cooks of wealthy English families during the time of King Richard I were making curry
dishes, and in fact, the word “curry” can be found in an English language cookbook as far back as 1377.
As for pizza, this dish was probably first made in Persia (what is now Iran). The Persians were eating
round, flat bread with cheese in the 500s. That was nearly 1,000 years before pizza became popular in
Naples, Italy!
Finally, let’s look at the truth behind hamburgers. Many people think hamburgers are an American food.
However, according to some stories, hamburgers came from Hamburg, Germany. A German named Otto
Kuasw created the first hamburger in 1891. Four years later, German sailors introduced hamburgers to
Americans.
Where foods come from isn’t nearly as important as how they taste; as long as they are delicious! So, go
get some of your favorite food and dig in.

A. Popular foods in England B. Some surprising facts about foods
