 Greasy 1 Spoon Feifei: You’re looking very pleased 2 and contented 3 today, Diarmuid. Diarmuid: I am very happy today Feifei. Why? Because I had 4 my breakfast at my local 5 greasy spoon this morning. Feifei: Greasy spoon? I don’t understand. How could 6 you have breakfast at a greasy spoon? Diarmuid: A greasy spoon is a name for a café that serves 8 cheap meals 9. Feifei: I have seen 10 lots of these kinds of cafés around Britain 11 but I didn’t know they were called greasy spoons. Diarmuid: Yes, greasy spoons are very common 12 in the UK. You can find them everywhere. Feifei: But why are they called greasy spoons? Diarmuid: People probably 13 call these cafés greasy spoons because the food they serve 7 there is nearly 14 always fried 15 food.I suppose 16 it’s a kind of joke 17. The fried food served 18 in the café is so oily, or greasy, that even 19 the spoons are greasy. Example A: Where shall 20 we go for lunch? There’s a new health-food restaurant near here. B: I don’t really want to eat salad and vegetables. A: Ok, let’s go to the greasy spoon for a fry-up. B: Mmm, that sounds great. I’m going 21 to have sausage and chips 22. Feifei: You know, eating at a greasy spoon doesn’t sound very healthy to me. Diarmuid: I think you’re probably right there. You shouldn’t eat at a greasy spoon every day. Mmm, the problem 23 is the food from a greasy spoon tastes good to me. Feifei: I know. Why does unhealthy 24 food always taste so good? Diarmuid: That’s a question for another day Feifei.
