English Meals (Английская еда)
The English proverb says: every cook praises his own broth. One can not say
English cookery is bad, but there is not a lot of variety in it in comparison with
European cuisine. The English are very particular about their meals. The usual meals
in England are breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner.
Breakfast time is between seven and nine a.m. A traditional English breakfast is
a very big meal. It consists of juice, porridge, a rasher or two of bacon and eggs, toast,
butter, jam or marmalade, tea or coffee. Marmalade is made from oranges and jam is
made from other fruit. Many people like to begin with porridge with milk or cream and
sugar, but no good Scotsman ever puts sugar on it, because Scotland is the home of
porridge. For a change you can have sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, cold ham or
perhaps fish.
But nowadays in spite of the fact that the English strictly keep to their meals
many people just have cereal with milk and sugar or toast with jam or honey.
The two substantial meals of the day are lunch and dinner. Lunch is usually taken at
one o'clock. For many people lunch is a quick meal. Office workers usually go to a
cafe at this time. They take fish, poultry or cold meat (beef, mutton, veal and ham),
boiled or fried potatoes and all sorts of salad. They may have a mutton chop or steak
and chips, followed by biscuits and a cup of coffee. Some people like a glass of light
beer with lunch. Pubs also serve good, cheap food. School children can have a hot
meal at school. Some of them just bring a snack from home.
Tea is very popular among the English; it may almost be called their national
drink. Tea is welcome in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening. The English
like it strong and fresh made. The English put one tea-spoonful of tea for each person.
Tea means two things. It is a drink and a meal. Some people have afternoon tea, so
called «high tea» with sandwiches, tomatoes and salad, a tin of apricots, pears or
pineapples and cakes, and, of course a cup of tea. That is what they call good tea. It is
a substantial meal.
Cream teas are also popular. Many visitors, who come to Britain, find English
instant coffee disgusting. Dinner time is generally between six and eight p.m. The
evening meal is the biggest and the main meal of the day. Very often the whole family
eats together. They begin with soup, followed by fish, roast chicken, potatoes and
vegetables, fruit and coffee.
On Sundays many families have a traditional lunch consisting of roast chicken,
lamb or beef with salads, vegetables and gravy.
The British enjoy tasting delicious food from other countries, for example,
French, Italian, Indian and Chinese food. Modern people are so busy that they do not
have a lot of time for cooking themselves. So, the British buy the food at the restaurant
and bring it home already prepared to eat. So we can conclude that take-away meals
are rather popular among the population. Eating has become rather international in
Britain lately.
