Meals in Britain

A traditional English breakfast is a very big meal: sausages, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms…. But nowadays most people just have cereal with milk and sugar, or toast with marmalade, jam , or honey. Marmalade and jam are not the same! Marmalade is made of oranges and jam is made of other fruit. The traditional English breakfast drink is tea, which people have with cold milk. Some people have coffee, often instant coffee, which is made with just hot water. Many visitors to Britain find this coffee disgusting! For many people lunch is a quick meal. In cities there are a lot of sandwich bars,

where office workers can choose the kind of bread they want- brown, white, or a roll- and then all sorts of salad and meat or fish to go in the sandwich. Pubs often serve good, cheap food, both cold and hot, but many just take a snack from home- a sandwich, a drink, some fruit, and perhaps some crisps.

« Tea» means two things. It is a drink and a meal! Some people have afternoon tea, with sandwiches, cakes, and, of course, a cup oftea. Cream teas are popular. You have scones ( a kind of bread) with cream and jam. The evening meal, dinner, is the main meal of the day for many people. They usually have it quite easy, between 6.00 and 8.00, and often the whole family eats together. Some people have supper late, perhaps, after an evening walk or visiting a theatre

or a cinema or before going to bed.

On Sundays many families have a traditional lunch. They have roast meat (either

beef, lamb, chicken or pork) with potatoes, vegetables, and gravy. Gravy is a sauce

made from the meat juices.

The British like food from other countries, too, especially Italian, French,

Chinese, and Indian. People often get take-away meals- you buy the food at the restaurant and then bring it home to eat. Eating in Britain is quite international!
