BREAKFAST
• The traditional English breakfas
t
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'.
 • 4. LU NCH Many children at
4. LUNCH 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.
 5. 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..
 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
6. TEA 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.

 8. 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. Menu
