6、ral 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 invented in America. What do you think? Steve:Hmm . Thats not really true. For example, some say the hamburger comes from Hamburg in Germany,

10、cookie, and the fortune cookie was born! Interviewer:Wow! Thats interesting! So theyre like a mix of the Chinese, American, and Japanese cultures. Steve:You got it. And then we have gumbo, the spicy stew. It was invented in New Orleans over 200 years ago, and mixes French, African, Native American,
11、and Spanish cooking. Interviewer:So its the food of many different cultures, all in one dish? Steve:Exactly.
