English Meals
A
n
Englishman's day begins when he sits down to
breakfast with his morning paper. There
is nothing he likes better than his favourite breakfast of cornflakes
with milk and sugar,
bacon
and eggs, toast and marmalade, tea or coffee.
It is really a big meal. Round about 11 in the
morning some Englishmen, who work have their
tea or coffee break. Then at
midday,
say from
1 till 2, the city pavements are
full of
people on
their way to cafes. This is lunch time in Great Britain.
At lunch people seldom eat soup. Those who
have lunch at home may eat chicken or clear
soup
but not always. They usually have a meat course
and a sweet dish. Englishmen like steaks,
chops,
roast-beef,
Yorkshire pudding or fish and chips.
A meat course is served with plenty of vegetables: peas, beans or
cauliflower. They call green
cabbage leaves or lettuces
"salad" and eat it with the so called "salad-dressing",
a mixture of oil,
vinegar, salt, pepper and mayonnaise. A sweet
dish is perhaps fruit and pudding or a pie with
tea to follow.
Afternoon tea can hardly be called a meal. Tea drinking is quite a tradition with the English. 5 o'clock tea is not usually served at the table though Englishmen don't find it convenient. Each person has a cup and a saucer and a spoon in his hands. Strong tea is mostly drunk with sugar and cream or milk. Such tea is known as English tea. Tea with lemon is called Russian tea in England.
The evening meal, when all the family gathers round the table, after their working day, goes under various names: tea, high tea, dinner or supper. It is usually a meat course followed by tinned fruit or cake and tea.
When outing, that is on a picnic, the English load their luncheon baskets with all sorts of hamburgers or sandwiches made of slices of bread and butter with ham, cheese, raw tomatoes, cabbage leaves in between.
On the whole, English cuisine is not the best in the world. Englishmen prefer just "good plain food".
