 Greasy¹ Spoon Feifei: You’re looking very pleased² and contented³ today, Diarmuid. Diarmuid: I am very happy today Feifei. Why? Because I had⁴ my breakfast at my local⁵ greasy spoon this morning. Feifei: Greasy spoon? I don’t understand. How could⁶ you have breakfast at a greasy spoon? Diarmuid: A greasy spoon is a name for a café that serves⁸ cheap meals⁹. Feifei: I have seen¹⁰ lots of these kinds of cafés around Britain¹¹ but I didn’t know they were called greasy spoons. Diarmuid: Yes, greasy spoons are very common¹² in the UK. You can find them everywhere. Feifei: But why are they called greasy spoons? Diarmuid: People probably¹³ call these cafés greasy spoons because the food they serve⁷ there is nearly¹⁴ always fried¹⁵ food.I suppose¹⁶ it’s a kind of joke¹⁷. The fried food served¹⁸ in the café is so oily, or greasy, that even¹⁹ the spoons are greasy. Example A: Where shall²⁰ 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 going²¹ to have sausage and chips²². 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 problem²³ is the food from a greasy spoon tastes good to me. Feifei: I know. Why does unhealthy²⁴ food always taste so good? Diarmuid: That’s a question for another day Feifei.
