What do you usually eat every day? Do you know what the British people eat every day?
*
The traditional British breakfast is usually between seven and eight o’clock. It is very big: bacon, eggs, sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, baked beans and fried bread! But nowadays people don’t usually cook a big breakfast every morning. They often have cooked breakfast on weekends.
Most people have a light breakfast. These are some typical things that people have for breakfast: cereal with milk, yoghurt, fruit, orange juice, toast, coffee or tea.
Between twelve o’clock and two o’clock people have lunch. This is often a light meal of soup, sandwiches and / or a salad. Most children have their lunch at school. They can buy food at the dining hall in their school, or they can take a packed lunch from home. This usually has sandwiches and maybe some fruit, yoghurt or salad.
The main meal of the day is dinner. People usually eat this between about six and seven o’clock in the evening.
A traditional dinner is meat or fish with potatoes and other vegetables, but many people nowadays cook food from other countries. After the main course, some people have dessert, such as chocolate cake or apple pie.
In some parts of Britain, people have the main meal at midday and call it “dinner”. They call the light meal that they have in the afternoon or evening “tea”. Some people also call the evening meal “supper”. This can be a light meal or a main meal.
