Conversion One (1-4)
M: Guess what? The worst food I’ve ever had was in France.
W: Really? That’s odd. (1)I thought the French were all good cooks.
M: Yes. That’s right. I suppose it’s really like anywhere else, though. You know, some places are good. Some bad. But it’s really all our own thought.
W: What do you mean?
M: Well, it was the first time I’d been to France. This was years ago when I was at school. (2) I went there with my parents’ friends, from my father’s school. They’d hired a coach to take them to Switzerland.
W: A school trip?
M: Right. Most of them had never been abroad before. We’d crossed the English Channel at night, and we set off through France, and breakfast time arrived, and the coach driver had arranged for us to stop at this little café. There we all were, tired and hungry, and then we made the great discovery.
W: What was that?
M:Bacon and eggs.
W: Fantastic! The real English breakfast.
M: Yes. Anyway, we didn’t know any better—so we had it, and ugh...
W: What was it like? Disgusting?
M: Oh, it was incredible! They just got a bowl and put some fat in it. And then they put some bacon in the fat, broke an egg over the top and put the whole lot in the oven for about ten minutes.
W: In the oven! You’re joking. You can’t cook bacon and eggs in the oven!
M: Well. They must have done it that way. It was hot, but it wasn’t cooked. There was just this egg floating about in gallons of fat and raw bacon.
W: (3)Did you actually eat it?
M: (3)No! Nobody did. They all wanted to turn round and go home. You know, back to teabags and fish and chips. You can’t blame them really. Anyway, the next night we were all given another foreign speciality.
W: What was that?
M: (4)Snails. That really finished them off. Lovely holiday that was!
