Food and Drink¹

OK, let’s talk about food. Food is such a great subject; it is nmnething that everyone has to do. Every person starts his or her day with breakfast. Some people skip breakfast or prefer a continental breakfast (as the English would call it) consisting of a cup of coffee or instant coffee, espresso, cappuccino, decaffeinated coffee or decaf, white/light coffee (with milk or cream), half-and-half (consisting of i »jual parts of two beverages, for example, milk and cream), black toffee and a roll (a flat pastry or cake rolled up with filling) or «i cscent ['krasntj/croissant, bagel [^rbeigd] (a hard ring-shaped bread loll). Englishmen are used to an English breakfast. Perhaps they think •hat continental breakfast actually means to have nothing for breakfast at all, that is, to remain hungry. A month of continental breakfasts - and one is starving. Breakfast is ready between 7:30 and ‘> 00, or earlier, if any member of the family starts working at 8. The I nglish breakfast is more substantial (sufficient and nourishing), as it '.(arts with porridge (in Britain it means always oatmeal) or cereal (breakfast food of grain processed to be quickly cooked: corn flakes, oat flakes, wheat flakes, rice flakes, muesli ['mju.zli]) with milk /md sugar, then comes one or two fried eggs, grilled Siiusages/frankfurters or ham, bacon, salami, smoked sausage with tomatoes and mushrooms. Then the English have tea with milk or cream and toast with butter and marmalade (orange jam). The traditional English breakfast is called the ’Full English’ and sometimes referred to as The Full English Fry-up\ In Ukraine people may have anything they like for breakfast, but sandwiches and coffee or tea are very popular.

At about 11 o’clock most people have a cup of tea, (or coffee) and biscuits (a small baked flat dry sweet or plain cake) called 'cookies’ in l he US, or crackers, breadsticks, pretzels (biscuit, in the form of a knot or stick, glazed and salted on the outside), wafers ['weifej. Children all get a glass of milk at school. This snack (a light quick

meal eaten between main meals) is popularly known as 'elevenses', morning coffee or morning tea.

Between 12:00 and 1:30 p.m. people in Great Britain are very much ready for lunch. More than half population has a hot dinner in the middle of the day, and a meal mysteriously called high tecTXfta with sandwiches or cakes) at about 4.30-6.00 p.m. Others have aJight lunch at one, and a hot dinner at 7 or 7.30. This hot lunch or dinner is more or less the same. Many children at school and adults at work will have a ’packed lunch'. This typically consists of a sandwich, a packet of crisps (very thin slices of potatoes fried and eaten cold as a snack), a piece of fruit and a drink. The 'packed lunch' is kept in a plastic container. Sandwiches are also known as a 'butty' (just bread and butter) or ’sarnie' in some parts of the UK.

The Ukrainians usually have their most substantial meal at about 2:00 p.m. It generally includes three courses: a starfer (salad, herring, cheese, etcj^soiip/cabbage-soup/pea-soup/fish-soup or borsch, some meat or fish with vegetables, bread, of course, and something to drink. At 4:00 or 5:00 p.m. the Ukrainians may have a bite/to have a snack: cakes with juice, tea, coffee, cocoa, or something of the kind.

In Great Britain they have dinner at about 6:00 p.m. Soup may be served then, but the British soup is rather thick paste having nothing in common with what is called ’soup’ in Ukraine. A lot of British prefer to eat out or have take-away food. Dinner is generally the biggest meal of the day. It usually consists of a meat (casseroled chicken (cooked and served in a covered dish of ceramics or heat-resistant glass), beef steak, roast beef, veal cutlets, spare ribs, pork or lamb chops) or fish course (salmon, trout, sardine, cod, pike, tuna, perch, herring, mackerel) with potatoes and two other vegetables, often carrots and Brussels sprouts or broccoli or some other combination. Then there is a sweet course or dessert (fresh or stewed fruit, fruit tart, jelly, ice cream or a pudding, or some other heavy dish). The sweet may also be an apple pie, crepes/pancakes with different sweet fillings, fritters (a piece of food dipped in batter of eggs and flour and fried in deep fat), parfait [pA:'fei] (a rich frozen dessert made from eggs and cream with ice cream, fruit, etc), •* Jhnuts, muffins ( in England — usually thick round baked yeast lolls, usually toasted and served with butter) or chocolate cake, honey cuke, cheesecake, layer cake, sponge cake, torte | to:t] (a rich cake decorated or filled with cream, fruit, nuts, and jam), napoleon) with no ft drinks/beverages (with no alcohol) like mineral, spring or soda water, lemonade, ginger ale (a sweet nonalcoholic drink flavoured with ginger extract) or again - tea. The British eat so many sweets and chocolates with their tea during the day that they have almost the worst teeth in the world.

Supper in Ukraine means another big meal at 7:00 p.m., while in England it is just a small snack at about 9:00 p.m. - the inevitable cup of tea (green tea, black tea, tea with milk, iced tea, herb(al) tea, mint tea), or milk, or cocoa with some biscuits or sandwiches.

In many British homes bread, potatoes and suet overweigh meals while there is a good deal of propaganda of a balanced diet. People in Ukraine do not eat out very often as they prefer home-made food. I hey are generally convinced that their food is healthy as it is usually is ’just-cooked’ and eaten fresh. Besides, junk food (hamburgers, hotdogs, French fries) is not eaten much in Ukraine as a rule. Ukrainian housewives spend much time preparing all the stuff, including pickled (marinated) or fresh-salted cucumbers, tomatoes, sauerkraut (finely shredded pickled cabbage), other home-made preserves (stewed fruit, jam, marmalade) and traditional Ukrainian pastry (baked foods, such as tarts, etc.). But they don't seem to mind too much.
