English Cuisine

English people have a special cuisine. Traditional English dishes include fish and chips, roast beef, steak, pudding and some others. It’s natural that all types of food can be found in English restaurants nowadays. For example, fans of Japanese food will easily find sushi in English cities, fans of Italian food, will easily find all sorts of pasta and pizza in England.

However, many people want to try traditional British cuisine when visiting England. For breakfast English people prefer either oatmeal or cereal with milk, fried eggs with bacon, a glass of orange juice or a cup of fresh coffee. During lunch many people are away at work, or at school, so they carry their lunch with them. It usually consists of a couple of delicious sandwiches with ham, cheese and fresh vegetables, and a small pack of juice. Many Englishmen drink 5 o’clock tea with cookies. For dinner families usually gather around the dining-table to chat and to share some tasty dishes. Among them steaks or fish, steamed vegetables, rice, fresh salad, and a glass of wine or beer, depending on tastes. Children drink either water, or tea. English families often go out for an evening meal, especially on Friday nights.

Traditional English cuisine contains many interesting recipes, but probably the most famous of all is “Fish & Chips”. This dish consists of fried chops from fish and French fries. On special occasions English people often serve roast turkey and traditional pudding.

John: (25 years old)

Some people criticize English food. They say it's unimaginable, boring and tasteless, they have chips, which are filled with everything and totally overcooked vegetables. The basic ingredients are so full of flavour without natural taste. What can compare with fresh pees or new potatoes just boiled and served with butter? I don’t like such food, and I prefer healthy food.

Peter: (30 years old)

If you ask foreigners to name some typically English dishes, they will probably say "Fish and chips" then stop. It is disappointing, but true that, there is no tradition in England of eating in restaurants, because the food doesn't lend itself to such preparation. English cooking is found at home. So it is difficult to find a good English restaurant with a reasonable prices.In most cities in Britain you'll find Indian, Chinese, French and Italian restaurants. In London you'll also find Indonesian, Mexican, Greek... This is because English have no "cuisine" themselves, but this is not quite the true.

Jim: (16 years old)

I like British cuisine very much. I can not imagine my life without chips and meat with vegetables!!!What about steaks? It is unbelievable and very delicious!!! I can find also food of the other countries, for example, my favourite pizza. I like also tea and pancakes, which I can find in any English restaurant! The most popular is jelly, which is used from gelatin products and it is very tasty gelatin dessert.
