many European countries it is normal to have a long
break in the middle of the day, when all members of the family return to their
houses to eat together. |

it is a long way from the place of work or school to home. |

people tend to have a big breakfast before they get
out and the meal at midday is made at work or at school. |
| Lunch
is normally eaten between 12.30 pm and 1.30pm. |

tend to have dinner between 6.30pm and 8pm. |

British breakfast is bigger than in most other countries. Many people like to
have fried bacon
and eggs with fried bread and possibly fried tomatoes
or black pudding as breakfast. Among the cereals,
indeed very popular, most commons are cornflakes. In each British supermarket
there are several kinds and brands of cereals available. |
| Lunch:
if you go to Britain to study
english and you stay with
a family you will almost certainly be given a "packed lunch" to eat
for your midday meal. A packed lunch normally consist of some sandwiches,
a packet of crisps, an apple and a can of drink. |
| Dinner:
Things are changing and most British people eat meals from many different countries
like spaghetti or curry. The most typical thing to eat for dinner is "meat
and two veg". This consists of a piece of meat accompanied by two
different boiled vegetables. This is covered with a sauce such as mayo, ketchup,
bbq or brown sauce among the others. One of the most
eaten vegetables are potatoes, so loved by british
people. |
