9、 for you.No one really knows exactly when the first people arrived in what we now know as California. lt is likely that Native Americans moved to California at least fifteen thousand years ago. Scientists believe that these settlers crossed the Bering Strait by a landbridge which existed in prehisto
10、ric times. In the 16 th century, the native people suffered greatly after the arrival of the Europeans. Thousands of them were killed or forced into slavery. In addition, many died from the diseases brought by the Europeans. However, some survived these terrible times, and today there are more Nativ
11、e Americans living in California than in any other state of America.Interviewer: Today our guest is Steve Fox. Hes here to talk about cultural influences on American food. Welcome, Steve!Steve: Thank you. Its nice to be here.Interviewer: When it comes to American food,some say no food was ever inven
12、ted in America. What do you think?Steve: Hmm. That s not really true. For example,some say the hamburger comes from Hamburgin Germany, but they re wrong. The recipe forthe meat in a hamburger may have come from Germany, but the final hamburger we know today was definitely created by Americans.Interv
13、iewer: You mean there was a mixing of cultures? Food from overseas changed when it arrived in the States.Steve: Right. And there are many more examples of mixed- culture dishes. Like nachos , for example.Interviewer: Oh, I just love nachos! Mexican corn chips covered in cheese!Steve: Yes , they re d
14、elicious , but they re not traditional Mexican food. The recipe was actually invented by a Mexican cook for his American customers.Then there are fortune cookies.Interviewer: What do you mean?Steve: They re not Chinese.Interviewer: You re kidding! But every Chinese restaurant in America has them!Ste
15、ve: Yes, but they re unknown in China. About 100 years ago, someone in San Francisco put a piece of paper with a fortune on it inside a Japanese style cookie, and the forune cookie was born!Interviewer: Wow! Thats inresting! So heye likea mix ofthe Chinese, American, and Japanesecultures.Steve: You
16、got it. And then we have gumbo, the spicy stew. I was invented in New Orleans over 200years ago, and mixes, French, African, Native American, and Spanish cooking.Interviewer: So its the food of many diferent cultures ,all in one dish?Steve Exactly.
