Nagoya is known for its chicken and miso dishes. Kyoto is known for its tofu. In Japan, each region has its own special food. What about in the U.S.? Each state is known for something, too. Alabama is known for fried green tomatoes. Illinois is known for Chicago-style pizza. Maine has fresh lobster. If you like chocolate, Mississippi has great mud pie (chocolate pie with whipped cream). Nebraska is one of the best places to eat steak. Virginia is the home of ham, and Wisconsin is known for its cheese. Boston, Massachusetts, is known for its clam chowder. Wherever you go, there is something good to eat. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

2015年 12月12 日「モバイル英語学習」第 350 号( エッセイ ): Bulgarian Rose Festival

Notes:
harvest 収穫
———————–
The Rose Festival is held on the third Sunday of June in Bulgaria. Bulgaria is famous for roses, and the roses there have a beautiful deep color. The festival starts at the beginning of the rose-harvesting period. Bulgarians parade, pick roses, do barn dances, and choose a rose queen. Women wear beautiful traditional costumes. You can buy some cosmetics such as pure rose oil and massage salt at the festival. Everything there is made from roses.
