| What do British people really eat? 7 – 9 a.m. Breakfast “To eat well in England,” wrote the novelist Somerset Maugham, “you should eat breakfast three times a day.” A traditional English breakfast includes cereal, bacon, sausages, eggs, tomatoes … and if that's not enough, there's toast and marmalade and tea or coffee to drink. Of course, it all takes a long time, so people normally only eat a “full” breakfast when they are staying in a hotel or on special occasions. Most people just have a quick cup of coffee, a glass of fruit juice or a bowl of cereal as they hurry to school or work … and 22% of people don't eat breakfast at all! 11 a.m. Elevenses Getting hungry? Many schools and offices in Britain stop for a cofee break around 11 o'clock and people have “elevenses”: maybe a bar of chocolate, a piece of fruit, a biscuit or two … or three! Actually, the British eat more biscuits than any other nation in the worild, eleven kilos per person every year! 12 – 2 p.m. Lunch Sunday lunch is a popular time for a family meal during the week, most people eat lunch at work or school. Generally, people don't have time for a hot meal at lunchtime, so sandwiches (a British invention, of course!) are very popular; in fact, we eat two billion of them every year. Did you now that the London department store, Selfrifges, sells the world's most expensive sandwich? It costs £85! Children often take a paced lunch to school and healthy school lunches are a “hot” topic right now. | 5 p.m. Tea Because parents work late, younger children often eat separately, at around five o'clock. We call this meal “tea”, although in reality, children probably have pizza, pasta or sausages (and ice-cream)! In hotels and teashops, however, you can still get a traditional English tea. This is much more than just a cup of tea – it comes with sandwiches, toast, tasty cream cakes and scones! Plenty to fill you up until it's time for … 6 – 9 p.m. Dinner Usually this is the main meal of the day but as people get busier, it is becoming less common for families to eat together. One survey found that the average British family only eats together once a month! Instead, different members of the family eat different meals at different times: often ready meals from the supermarket or takeaway. Traditional “fish and chips” are still popular but there are now more Chinese and Indian takeaway restaurants. Many people believe that curry is the national dish, not fish and chips! 10 – 11 p.m. … and a little late snack Many people enjoy a late night snack, often with a hot drink: tea or hot chocolate are popular at bedtime. Then there is time for a few hours sleep before it all starts again! |
