These are the results from a group of about 50 persons, between 15 and 19 years of age (2A/3A/4A)
1.Where do you prefer to eat? At home or at a reastaurant? What is your favourite meal of the day? Why do you like it?
About 75% prefers the reastaurant, the rest prefers home. The reasons? Food at the restaurant is more varied; at home is safer.
Our favourite meal is lunch, because we eat more. Dinner is better for just very few...Well, dinner out is considered an opportunity for meeting friends.
2.Do you ever go out to dinner in the evening? How often? Who do you generally go with? Where do you usually go? Why?
We eat out once or twice a week: all of us. We go to a pizzeria,
with friends, to have a pizza because it's cheaper than the restaurant.
3. What's your favourite dish? Why do you like it?
Pizza, homemade pasta , chips, meat.
Our mothers love cooking: they spend a lot of their time in the kitchen. They do this because they have a strong sense of the "family", even if they have to sacrifice their free time for this aim.
4. Name some food that you do not particularly like. Why don't you like it?
We usually don't like vegetables, soups, without any particular reasons.
5. What do you usually have for breakfast? Lunch? Dinner?
Breakfast:Milk and coffee/tea/biscuits. Some have nothing!!
Lunch: pasta/ meat or fish/ salad/ fruit/coffee.
Dinner: same as lunch, often less, without the starter.
6.Do you and your family generally eat together?
Always, if possible.
7.Do you think families should eat together? Why? Why not?
We think that meals are very important meeting opportunities for the family group. In fact, we never start eating until the persons present at home are all seated around the table.
8. Is the television on while you eat?
Yes: we usually watch the news, or we choose together some other programs.
9.Do you converse with the other members of your family at mealtime?
Yes, we talk about the day events, specially at dinner, about facts and news. Also about politics. We sometimes/often argue and -even - quarrel!
