Final Book Report

Hello readers! I finally finished reading the book "The Language of Food; A Linguist Reads the Menu". I started reading in October, so it took me about three months to complete it.

From now on, I will write about a chapter I found interesting.
The chapter title is "Macaroon, Macaron, Macaroni". Only within this title, what kind of impression did you have? I know. All words begins with the letter "maca".
Yes, your guess was true. All these words come from the same food. The origin is Macaroon. Macaroon is a sweet made from almonds. They look like shells, and that image jumped to pasta. I think you have seen them at least once, but there are pasta in the shapes of shells. That kind of pasta have been called Macaroni, taking "maca" from macaroon.

Until I read this book, I have never realized the connection between these kind of foods. Throughout this book, I could find out the original meanings of each food names, and they were very helpful to higher my English abilities. I really appreciate to my teacher who told me to read a book that I am interested in. The choice of a book I made seemed to be perfect, after all.

Thank you for reading until the bottom of my blog. Let's meet again:)
