I hope that the client did not leave hungry. Well, this is his story, but here is ours - find out more names of products and listen to their sounds in the topic about food - audio English for beginners. I hope in the evening your dinner will be no worse than what our foreign friends ordered. Bon appetit! A little more:

The new Russian, having been abroad and just returned, while having dinner in a restaurant, decided to surprise his friends at the table. With an important look, he asked the waiter if they had Dor Blue cheese. Having politely asked the client again and learned that it was cheese with bluish mold, the waiter answered with dignity that they do not have Dor Blue cheese, but they do have Dor Blue herring and semi-smoked Dor Blue sausage...

Friends, I hope that the following conversations about food, with the topic - listening to English dialogues - will further expand your vocabulary about food. Don't forget to subscribe to new audio topics and share information with your friends on social networks. Good luck!

Boris: It is very unusual for me.

James: Let`s study our menu. It`s time to make an order.

Boris: The names of some dishes on the menu are new for me. I don`t understand what I will get. Could you recommend me what to order tonight?

James: Mushroom soup is always very good here.

Boris: Excuse me, but I don`t eat soup so lately. I would like a traditional English dish.

James: Roast-beef with cauliflower, green salad and fried potatoes must be delicious.

Boris: Fine, it sounds very well. And what are you going to order?

Boris: No, thank you. I would like to finish with black coffee without any dessert.

James: And I`ll have some ice-cream.
