阅读理解Grandmother's culinary advice

My dear

Charlotte,

Thank you so much for the lovely basket of fruit you sent us on our wedding anniversary. I can hardly believe that your grandfather and r have been married f" 60 years. However, we did get a telegram of congratulations from the Queen, so I suppose that we really have been together for all that time.

In your note you asked the secret of a successful marriage. Weil I believe it has a lot to do with our very different attitudes to food. Your granddad likes to have a big breakfast, but I only like a cup of tea and a piece of toast in the morning. He likes to' stop about 12 noon and have glass of beer arid a plate of egg and chips. I find that too filling, and I like to get on with what am doing, so I prefer to have some fruit and some' nuts at midday.

We both like to have our major meal about seven o'clock in the 'evening, but we like very different' things. Your granddad always has some kind of fish for his dinner. He préfers Tornmy Ruffs, the best fish in South Australia, he calls that fish. He also likes kippers, those salty smoked fish that the English and the Scots• introduced in to Australia. He tefi.1SCs to eat any vegetables at all, except for potatoes. He' likes them either, boiled, baked, mashed at made into chips. He always has another glass of beer with this meal.

I have quite different tastes. I like the foods that the other European and ASian Cultures have introduced into Australia. Lasagna from Itaty, Moussaka from Greece, green curry from Thailand and of course, my favorrite, meat and vegetable dumplings from China. Whatever have, always have a salad of green vegetables and two glasses of' wine with-my meal.

Now, am sure that my diet is much more balanced than your granddads. But he says that now at 79 he is going to eat what he likes. Why is this difference conducive to a happy marriage？ Weil we have to buy our food from different shops, cook our food in different ways and borrow different cookery books from the library. So we have a lot of different experiences during the day and a lot to talk about in the evening!

All my

Grand
