Lesson 23-1
One man’s meat is another man’s poison
/wʌn/ /mænz/ /miːt/ /ɪz/ /əˈnʌðə/ /mænz/ /ˈpɔɪzn/
People become quite illogical when they try to decide what
/ˈpiːpl/ /bɪˈkʌm/ /kwaɪt/ /ɪˈlɒʤɪkəl/ /wɛn/ /ðeɪ/ /traɪ/ /tuː/ /dɪˈsaɪd/ /wɒt/
can be eaten and what cannot be eaten. If you lived in the
/kæn/ /biː/ /ˈiːtn/ /ænd/ /wɒt/ /ˈkænɒt/ /biː/ /ˈiːtn./ /ɪf/ /juː/ /lɪvd/ /ɪn/ /ðiː/
Mediterranean, for instance, you would consider octopus a
/ˌmɛdɪtəˈreɪnjən,/ /fɔːr/ /ˈɪnstəns,/ /juː/ /wʊd/ /kənˈsɪdər/ /ˈɒktəpəs/ /eɪ/
great delicacy. You would not be able to understand why
/greɪt/ /ˈdɛlɪkəsi./ /juː/ /wʊd/ /nɒt/ /biː/ /ˈeɪbl/ /tuː/ /ˌʌndəˈstænd/ /waɪ/
some people find it repulsive. On the other hand, your
/sʌm/ /ˈpiːpl/ /faɪnd/ /ɪt/ /rɪˈpʌlsɪv./ /ɒn/ /ði/ /ˈʌðə/ /hænd,/ /jɔː/
stomach would turn at the idea of frying potatoes in animal
/ˈstʌmək/ /wʊd/ /tɜːn/ /æt/ /ði/ /aɪˈdɪə/ /ɒv/ /ˈfraɪɪŋ/ /pəˈteɪtəʊz/ /ɪn/ /ˈænɪməl/
fat -- the normally accepted practice in many northern
/fæt/ /--/ /ðə/ /ˈnɔːməli/ /əkˈsɛptɪd/ /ˈpræktɪs/ /ɪn/ /ˈmɛni/ /ˈnɔːðən/
countries. The sad truth is that most of us have been
/ˈkʌntriz./ /ðə/ /sæd/ /truːθ/ /ɪz/ /ðæt/ /məʊst/ /ɒv/ /ʌs/ /hæv/ /biːn/
brought up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our
/brɔːt/ /ʌp/ /tuː/ /iːt/ /ˈsɜːtn/ /fuːdz/ /ænd/ /wiː/ /stɪk/ /tuː/ /ðɛm/ /ɔːl/ /ˈaʊə/
lives.
/lɪvz./
No creature has received more praise and abuse than the
/nəʊ/ /ˈkriːʧə/ /hæz/ /rɪˈsiːvd/ /mɔː/ /preɪz/ /ænd/ /əˈbjuːs/ /ðæn/ /ðiː/
common gardensnail. Cooked in wine, snails are a great
/ˈkɒmən/ /ˈgɑːdn/ /sneɪl./ /kʊkt/ /ɪn/ /waɪn,/ /sneɪlz/ /ɑːr/ /ə/ /greɪt/
luxury in various parts of the world. There are countless
/ˈlʌkʃəri/ /ɪn/ /ˈveərɪəs/ /pɑːts/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /wɜːld./ /ðeər/ /ɑː/ /ˈkaʊntlɪs/
people who, ever since their early years, have learned to
/ˈpiːpl/ /huː,/ /ˈɛvə/ /sɪns/ /ðeər/ /ˈɜːli/ /jɪəz,/ /hæv/ /lɜːnt/ /tuː/
associate snails with food. My friend, Robert, lives in a
/əˈsəʊʃɪɪt/ /sneɪlz/ /wɪð/ /fuːd./ /maɪ/ /frɛnd,/ /ˈrɒbət,/ /lɪvz/ /ɪn/ /eɪ/
country where snails are despised. As his flat is in a large
/ˈkʌntri/ /weə/ /sneɪlz/ /ɑː/ /dɪsˈpaɪzd./ /æz/ /hɪz/ /flæt/ /ɪz/ /ɪn/ /ə/ /lɑːʤ/
town, he has no garden of his own. For years he has been
/taʊn,/ /hiː/ /hæz/ /nəʊ/ /ˈgɑːdn/ /ɒv/ /hɪz/ /əʊn./ /fɔː/ /jɪəz/ /hiː/ /hæz/ /biːn/
asking me to collect snails from my garden and take them to
/ˈɑːskɪŋ/ /miː/ /tuː/ /kəˈlɛkt/ /sneɪlz/ /frɒm/ /maɪ/ /ˈgɑːdn/ /ænd/ /teɪk/ /ðɛm/ /tuː/
