1.Can you name some British dishes that are really good?

2.How many meals do the British usually have a day?

3.When do English people have the main meal of the day?

Ex.4 Study the text “Traditional British Food” to find the correct answers to the questions above.

Although Britain has a bad reputation for food, there are some dishes that are really good: meat pies, roast beef, Yorkshire pudding and a wide variety of cheeses.

Traditionally English people have three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast is served in the morning: it used to be a large meal with cereal, eggs and bacon, sausages, mushrooms and grilled tomatoes, toast and marmalade and coffee or tea. Now people do not have the time to eat so much and they usually have a bowl of cereal (corn-flakes or muesli), a piece of toast with butter and marmalade and a cup of coffee or tea.

Lunch (sometimes called dinner) has also become a light meal, often just a snack since today everyone is too busy to stop and have a large meal. At school, children have a two course meal consisting of meat and vegetables followed by a pudding or fruit. Working people usually have a sandwich and a glass of fruit juice or a beer. In summer a lot of Londoners like to have their lunch outside in one of the many parks.

The main meal of the day is dinner (sometimes called tea or supper) and the British have it between 6 and 7 pm.

Traditional afternoon tea has become rare, although the British are ready for a cup of tea (a “cuppa”) at any time of the day. At weekends, when they have visitors, tea is served at about 5 pm, with sandwiches, scones, cakes and,of course tea served with sugar and either milk or lemon.
