Text 1. Food and meals

The usual meals of Ukrainian people are breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper. Breakfast is the first meal of the day, and we generally have it about 8 o`clock in the morning. Lunch or luncheon ( as it is not served at a definite moment in our country. As a rule, businessman finds it impossible to come home for lunch or dinner and so he goes to a canteen or a refreshment room or has a bite at his place of employment.

Breakfast usually consists of a cup of tea, coffee or milk, some sandwiches, boiled or fried eggs. For a change. We can have cold ham or porridge with milk or cream and sugar.

Lunch is usually a cold meal with cold meat, sausage or fish, potatoes and vegetables. Then comes coffee or tea with rolls or cares.

As dinner is a principal meal, it is necessary to lay the table for dinner. First we spread the table-cloth and put out table-mats to protect the table from hot dishes. Then we put three plates for each person- a deep plate, a shallow plate and a small one for a cold dish. After that we have to put spoons and the knife to the right of the plate and the fork to the left. As a rule, a cold dish or an appetizer opens the dinner. It may include vegetable salad, pickles, herring, sliced smoked salmon, etc. For the first course we can have a chicken broth, noodle soup, vegetable soup, cabbage soup, pea soup or Ukrainian borsch. For the second course you may enjoy eating mashed ot fried potatoes with roast chicken or meat; for a change you may have a buckwheat porridge or macaroni with chops or cutlets followed by dessert. Dessert is a course of pastry, cakes , plumcares, pies, biscuits and various home-made of pastry tarts, for example, apple-tarts, plum-tarts, jam-tarts, “kissel” ( made from the cranberries and other berries with potato starch ) or stewed fruit.

In the evening we have the much simpler supper – an omelet or sausages, sometimes bacon and eggs and sometimes just bread and cheese, a cup of cocoa or tea with a slice of lemon, jam or home- made pastry and fruit.

Meals are prepared in kitchen. And we must always remember that food should be wholesome and plentiful , and vitamins in food are of great importance. The same dishes should not be served several days running as variety is an important element of a rational diet.

Text 2. Meals in Britain

The names of meals in Great Britain are: breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper. Breakfast in the morning may be cornflakes, taken with milk and sugar, bacon or ham with or without eggs, or some kind of fish. Toast of bread and butter with marmalade and a cup of tea or coffee is also a popular breakfast.

Some people just have toast, butter and cheese with tea or coffee for breakfast. English people usually drink tea with milk and this tea is called “English tea”.

In the middle of the day people have different meals. It depends on their jobs and wages. It also depends on what part of the country they live in. People in the north have different tastes from those in the South. Their main cooked meal, whether it’s at midday or in the evening, is called dinner. Those who have their dinner in the middle of the day have supper in the evening. Those who have dinner in the evening, have lunch in the middle of the day.

For dinner there’s always a main dish, consisting usually of meat or fish with potatoes and cooked vegetables.

Lunch or supper is a lighter meal. Many families living in the north eat something like bread and butter with perhaps fried eggs or fried fish and tea in the evening.
