American meals.

Typical American meals are barbecue, grilled vegetables, and ribs.

A very popular beverage is lemon tea. In the morning Americans have a bowl of cereal, bacon, egg, toast with jelly and a bagel. The usual noontime meal consists of something light and quick to eat.

It may be a hot dog or a hamburger. After work people often have dinner. It consists of milk, and some meat. Americans also enjoy carrots, peas, spinach, beets, tomatoes, and green beans. The meat could be chicken, turkey, beef, or pork. They seldom sit at the table and eat very long; they "eat and run".

Russian meals.

The usual meals in Russia are breakfast, dinner, and supper. Russian people prefer omelets, boiled or fried eggs or just some porridge. They are 3 coursers in Russian dinner. For the first course they usually have soup: schi, borsch, rice soup with meat and potatoes, chicken broth. For the second course they like eating fried meat, cutlets with potatoes. For dessert they take stewed fruit, tea with lemon and sugar. The best typical Russian food is okroshka, which is fresh, and pelmeni, which are fat and difficult for stomach to be dealt with. But you'll never leave Russian table being hungry.

A modern English breakfast is mostly a help yourself thing. You can have a cheese sandwich; some toast with jam or a bowl of very low in calories corn flakes with fat free milk. You can have breakfast on your lap while reading a newspaper and nobody is nagging you about your manners.

BURGER QUEEN

She is 109 years old, and she only eats fast food.

Yesterday was Mary Alston’s birthday. She is one of the oldest people in the world. Mrs Alston had a party with 6 generations of her family. Her daughter, Jenny Morgan, who is 85, said, “My mother loves chocolate, and eats only popcorn, pizzas and burgers. She never eats fresh food. She says she doesn’t like it.”

Mrs Alston lives in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. She was born on a farm in Pennsylvania, and worked as a teacher. In 1915 she married James Henry Alston. He died in 1983.

Her granddaughter, Annie, who is 65, said, “Grandma gets up every day at 6 o’clock, and goes to the hairdresser every Friday.”

Annie asked her grandmother what she wanted to eat on her birthday. Mary said, “I’d like a cheeseburger and fries!”
