Food in Britain has had a bad name abroad for a very long
time. Visitors from foreign countries complain (抱怨) about the meals that they
order in restaurants. The British themselves do not like to complain so the
meals in restaurants are not always good. But in a city like
London there are many different kinds of food. There are so many restaurants
serving foreign dishes that it can be difficult to find one serving only British
food. The people who came from other countries have brought their own cooking to
Britain so there are restaurants serving different kinds of foreign
food. Foreigners also complain about uninteresting meals served
at home for the family. Though there are so many complaints about uninteresting
food, there seems to be a great interest in cooking among people in Britain.
Cooking books sell very well. Newspapers and magazines often offer (提供) unusual
recipes from foreign countries as well as old recipes from the past and from
many different places of Britain. These places of Britain offer some very good
dishes. So there must be a lot of British people who live to eat, not eat to
live. If the British like to complain, the meals in restaurants may ______.
A. cost less
B. become better
C. be served a longer time
