Pasta or Potatoes?
An ad in a London Underground carriage catches my eye. It's advertising pasta and
it's from a food delivery service called Pasta Evangelists. "How many pasta shapes can you
name?" the ad asks, with pictures of squiggly things such as spaghetti, macaroni, linguini,
tagliatelle and those comical bow-tie shapes. Apparently, there are hundreds of pasta shapes.
To me, this just shows the essential nothingness of pasta if you need to present it as worms,
flat worms, wider flat worms, squiggly worms, small tubes, large tubes, ears and butterflies
etc. Pasta is just flour and water! It is a crafty way of delivering cheap starch with a bit of
sauce and calling it a meal. The whole thing is an Italian confidence trick played upon the
English. OK, so nobody actually hates pasta. But the reason is the same reason you can't
really love it either: it's the food equivalent of a blank page. Give me potatoes every time!
You don't have to shape them into tongues, hats or whatever. Little sticks (chips!) will do.
Potatoes are tasty, even without sauce. Just add a bit of butter and there is a lovely meal. And
potatoes are versatile! You can bake, mash, boil or fry them. If you eat the skin which is very
tasty it provides an excellent source of fiber. Furthermore, potatoes are packed with vitamins
and minerals. Healthy and tasty! Let's hear it for potatoes and forget about pasta.
1. Where did the writer see the ad?

2. What was it advertising?

3
3. How many types of pasta are there, according to the article?

4. Why does the writer think that pasta is a 'confidence trick'?

5. Why does nobody love or hate pasta?

6. What foodstuff does the writer prefer?

7. How - in what ways can you prepare potatoes?

8. What are the health benefits of potatoes?

9. Is the writer a potential customer for Pasta Evangelists?

10.Do you agree with the writer?

4
VII. Read the texts. (4 marks)
