Meals in Britain

A traditional English breakfast is a very big meal – sausages, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms… . But nowadays many 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 from oranges and jam is made from other fruit. The traditional 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 hot and cold. School-children can have a hot meal at school, 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 of tea. Cream teas are popular. You have scones (a kind of cake) with cream and jam.

The evening meal is the main meal of the day for many people. They usually have it quite early, between 6.00 and 8.00, and often the whole family eats together.

On Sundays many families have a traditional lunch. They have roast meat, either beef, lamp, 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!

Shops and Shopping

Shops are very important in our life, it is there, that we can buy our food, clothes and other things. People usually go shopping at week-end. During the whole week they analyze their family’s requirements and put all things, they need, in a shop list. After that they decide, what department stores shops or market they must visit.

We buy bread at the baker’s. At the grocery shop we can buy tea, coffee, sugar, tinned and bottled goods, butter cheese, dried fruit, eating and cooking apples, plums, pears, fresh and sweet peaches, jars of different fruit juices, jams, sweets, pastry, nuts also and other things which people need. If we want to buy meat: sausages, ham, bacon, smoked pork and other prepared meats, we go to the butcher’s. Almost everybody goes to the market to buy eggs, milk, curds, vegetables and many other things.

Department Stores can offer a wide variety of useful things including articles of clothing stationery: pens, pencils, note-books, paper, hosiery; cutlery: forks, spoons, knives; crockery: plates, dishes, cups an so on. You can visit other departments: haberdashery, leather-ware department, ready-clothes department, footwear department.

As a rule I go shopping on Friday and Saturday to renew the supply of food and drinks. We come up to the counter where we can buy eggs, meat or fish and other goods. We ask the shop assistant how much the things cost, because the prices are changing rapidly. Soon we fill our shopping bags with necessary products and carry them home.

As for me I like to go to the shops, because I want to be well-dressed, to look modern and elegant.
