English people and food. What do the British eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner?

The British are known for their traditions and respect for history. Everyone knows that the British are very polite in communication: they are unlikely to push in front of the bus, pushing everyone with their elbows, in order to catch the landing. Rather, they will sincerely apologize if they accidentally hit you on the street. The British as a nation honor and respect traditions, follow them with pleasure and instill a love for them in the next generation. So it is with food - in the life of the British, it occupies far from the last place and many customs and everyday habits are associated with it.

What eating habit do you think of when we talk about England? Of course, about 5 o'clock tea!

From 4 to 6 pm in Britain comes "tea time". Usually the British drink black tea with milk and small sandwiches. The British can compete with the Chinese in the culture of tea drinking, because for them tea is not just a drink, but a whole ritual. In the UK, they love tea very much and even joke good-naturedly on this topic.

According to the British, tea must be strong, hot, and sweet like a woman's kiss - Tea should be strong, hot and sweet, like a woman's kiss.

A few idioms related to tea:

To take tea with somebody - Drink tea with someone (have a relationship with someone, do business)

Husband "s tea - husband's tea (very weakly brewed tea)

For breakfast (breakfast), the British prefer simple and hearty food: oatmeal, scrambled eggs and bacon, toast with jam and, of course, tea or coffee.

Often you can find such a meal as brunch - it is formed by a combination of the words breakfast and lunch. This is such a snack between breakfast and lunch, or simply "second breakfast".

The daily meal is called lunch. The most traditional lunch meal is fish and chips (fish with fried potatoes). Fish and chips can be found anywhere in England, whether it's a gourmet restaurant or a street food truck. The British rarely eat pasta or rice. For dessert, they prefer warm apple pie ( Apple pie) or pudding (milk pudding).

Dinner (dinner) is in many ways similar to lunch in composition, only lighter. After dinner, before going to bed, the British can drink cocoa with light snacks. This meal before bed is called supper.

Hello everyone, friends! We haven’t seen each other for a long time, since for the last two weeks I’ve been missing in, which gave me a lot of emotions, impressions and new interesting acquaintances. When you live in the same space and constantly communicate, encountering other people's opinions and points of view, you have a pure interaction with their habits and characters. Shaking, renewal, clearing of consciousness, exit to new experience. Alternately teaching people English and cooking, I suddenly discovered that the biggest and most portable topic in any language is the topic of food.

As the notorious Nikolai Yagodkin said, drawing a quick diagram on this topic on a flipchart, food is what everyone constantly wants and least of all remembers. The most inconvenient thing is to twist all sorts of “ pots«, « beaters«, « to shred«, « rub«, « shred". Add to that a huge variety. fruits and vegetables with which nature generously rewarded us. As a result, dates with pears are forgotten immediately, and the hackneyed Apple is spinning in my head and, rather, thanks to Steve Jobs, and not to the fruit.

This week I decided to start a series of posts and decided to start with cooking and on this topic. It is believed that cooking is an occupation, but in fact it is not quite so. As it turned out, men are not averse to making delicious pancakes and standing by the stove, speaking in English. I noticed one thing - food really conveys the energy and character of a person, sometimes even a mental state. Food-rubber, as in McDuck, is generally contraindicated for long-term use, since it has neither mental nor physical-vitamin energy. Food cooked in a bad mood tends to irritate you after eating it. Therefore, in a bad mood, I don’t even go to the stove. However, food should be prepared with positive emotion and mentality. In general, I have already talked about life, but all the words including junk food in you can find on the site languageguide.org by entering in the field English and choosing the desired topic.

Let's take a look at popular words in cooking.
