Food around the world

"Enchiladas" is a tipic mexican dish and hot dogs the most famous fast food in U.S.A.
But there are a lot of differences between enchiladas and hot dogs.
Enchiladas need more preparation, more ingredients; the preparation is slow, it requires time and not every body know how to made them although they are a tipic dish. Hot dogs are easy to prepare, you could do them fast and every body knows how to made them and you need few ingredients.

I prefer enchiladas, first of all because they are mexicans but also because one of them gives you more heath than if you eat two or three hot dogs.

ViKiNgS

In 793 the monks on the island of Lindisfarne, off the northeast coast of England, are unpleasantly surprised by the arrival of violent raiders from the sea. Their misfortune is the first clearly dated event in the saga of the Vikings - the last and most dramatic exodus in the long story of migration from Scandinavia, the original home of the Goths and Vandals.

The name Viking is thought to derive from vikingr, a word for 'pirate' in the early Scandinavian languages. It accurately describes the Norsemen who for two centuries raid the coasts of Britain and of northwest France. But in many places the Scandinavians also settle - in the islands of the north Atlantic, in the British Isles, in Normandy, in Sicily and in the very heart of Russia.


1. Where do they arrived in 793?
2. Why were monks unpleasantly surprised?
3.  What means "viking" in Scandinavian languages?
4. Where do they raid for two centuries?
5. Mention at least 3 places where they settle
