FOOD IN BRITAIN
MEAL TIMES
• We have four main meals a day:


• Breakfast - between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m.

• Lunch - between 12:00 and 1:30 p.m.

• Afternoon tea – between 4:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

• Dinner (sometimes called Supper) - The main meal.
  Eaten anytime between 6:30 and 8:00 p.m. (Evening
  meal)
BREAKFAST
The traditional English
breakfast consists of
scrambled eggs, bacon,
sausages, fried bread,
baked beans and
mushrooms. Even
though not many people
will eat this for breakfast
today, it is always served
in hotels and guest
houses around Britain.
The traditional English
breakfast is called the
'Full English' and
sometimes referred to as
'The Full English Fry-up'.
LU NCH
Many children at school
and adults at work will have
a 'packed lunch'. This
typically consists of a
sandwich, a packet of
crisps, a piece of fruit and a
drink. The 'packed lunch' is
kept in a plastic container.

Sandwiches are also known
as a 'butty' or 'sarnie' in
some parts of the UK.
Some sandwiches are
prawn and mayonnaise,
tuna and mayonnaise and
ham and pickle ones.
DINNER
A typical British meal for dinner
is "meat and two veg". We
put hot brown gravy,
(traditionally made from the
juices of the roast meat, but
more often today from a
packet!) on the meat and
usually the vegetables. One of
the vegetables is almost
always potatoes.
The traditional meal is rarely
eaten nowadays, apart from on
Sundays. A recent survey
found that most people in
Britain eat curry! Rice or pasta
dishes are now favoured as the
'British Dinner'.
Vegetables grown in England,
like potatoes, carrots, peas,
cabbages and onions, are still
very popular..
TEA
This is a small meal, not a drink.
Traditionally it consists of tea (or
coffee) served with either of the
following:
Freshly baked scones served with
cream and jam (Known as a cream
tea)
Afternoon tea sandwiches - thinly
sliced cucumber sandwiches with
the crusts cut off.
Assorted pastries

Afternoon Tea today
Afternoon tea is not common these
days because most adults go out to
work. However, you can still have
Afternoon tea at the many tea
rooms around England.
Afternoon tea became popular
about one hundred and fifty years
ago, when rich ladies invited their
friends to their houses for an
afternoon cup of tea. They started
offering their visitors sandwiches
and cakes too.
EATING OUT
‘Ethnic cuisine’ –
Indian, Italian,
Chinese, kebab
outlets
‘greasy spoon’ - a
small café that
serves cheap greasy
food
‘fish and chip shop’
– takeaway food
‘tea rooms’ –
waitress service,
snacks, tea
PUBS
Pubs are an important part of British life.
People talk, eat, drink, meet their friends
and relax there.
British pubs are required to have a
licence, which is difficult to obtain, and
allows the pub to operate for up to 24
hours. Most pubs are open from 11 to 11.
Nearly all pubs sell pub lunches. One of
these is the Ploughman's Lunch which is
a great wedge of Cheddar cheese, some
bread, some pickle, and an onion. Other
typical pub foods are scampi (kind of
shellfish) and chips (fried potatoes), pie
and chips, and chicken and chips.
Pubs have traditional names which date
back over 600 years.
Some typical names are The Chequers,
The White Swan, The Crown, The King's
Arms, The Red Lion and The White
Horse. People often refer to the pub by
its name when giving directions:Turn left
at the Rose and Crown. There is usually
a sign outside the pub showing the pub's
name with a picture.
