Task 1: Look through "Menu1" and decide if the items are either a) Traditional British Christmas food, b) Not especially Christmas food, (although it may be commonly eaten in the UK) or, c) Not traditonal British food. The answers are in the boxes below the food items. Click on the arrow on the right of the box to see the answer. Do not worry if you do not know all of the food vocabulary (some of it is difficult) just make some guesses. You will be able to look up some of the words you do not know in Task 2.
