Mealtimes
In many European countries it is normal to have a long break in the middle of the day when all members of the family return to their houses to eat together.This is not very common in Britain because normally it is a long way from the place of work or school to home.Consequently the British people tend to have a big breakfast before they go to work and the meal at midday is not spent with the members of the famfily but with workmates or schoolmates.Lunch is normally eaten between 12:30 pm and 1:30pm.Most people finish work at five thirty.It often takes at least an hour to get home from the school or workplace so people tend to eat their evening meal or"dinner"between 6:30 pm and 8pm.
On Sundays people don't have to work so they take the opportunity eat together with their family.Sunday lunch is usually the best meal of the week and many of the meals which are considered typically British are eaten for Sunday lunch.For example roast beef and yorkshire pudding.
Although everyone in Britain understands that"breakfast"is the first meal of the day.There is a lot of confusion about the words for other meals such as"dinner,lunch,tea,high tea,elevenses,brunch,suppet"and if you ask a British person what these words mean,most of them will give you a different answer according to what part of the country they are from or from what social class they are from.
Breakfast
Generally speaking,the British breakfast is much bigger than in most other countries.Many people like to have a fried breakfast which can consist of fried bacon and eggs with fried bread and possibly fried tomatoes or black pudding.Of course not everybody wants to eat a lot early in the morning and many people prefer to just eat toast and marmalade with tea or coffee.Cereals are also very popular.The most common is cornflakes.They are made with different grains such as corn.wheat,oats etc.If you go to a British supermarket you will see that there are many types of cereals available.In Scotland many people eat "porridge".Porridge is very heavy but in winter it will keep you warm on your way to school.
Lunch
If you go to Britain to study English and you stay with a family you will almost certainly be given a"packed lunch"to eat for your midday meal.Some factories and schools have canteens where you can eat but the packed lunch is the most common thing to eat.A packed lunch normally consists of some sandwiches,a packet of crisps,an apple and a can of something to drink,for example,cocacola.The contents are kept in a plastic container and you take it with you when you go to school or work.The quality of the packed lunch can vary from terrible to very good,it all depends on who makes it.
Dinner
Things are changing and most British people eat meals from many different countries for example spagetti or curry.In fact you could even say that the British don't eat much British food.However the most typical food for dinner is "meat and two veg".This consists of a piece of meat accompanied by two different boiled vegetables.This is covered with"gravy"which is a saucemade with the juice that was obtained when the meat was cooked.One of the vegetables is almost always potatoes.The British eat a lot of potatoes.
进餐时间
在欧洲许多国家，一天当中有段很长的休息时间是很正常的。那时，一家人都回到家里共进午餐。然而，在英国，人们一般工作地点或学校离家很远，很难见到这种现象。因此，英国人喜欢在他们上班之前吃一顿丰盛的早餐，午餐不是跟家人而是和同事或同学共进。午餐时间通常介于12:30和13:30之间。大多数英国人17:30下班。由于从学校或工作地点到家至少要花一个小时，人们喜欢在18:30到20:00吃晚饭。
每逢星期日人们都不用上班，因此他们要利用这个机会跟家人一起吃饭。星期日的午餐通常是这个星期最好的一餐，许多被认为具有典型英国特色菜肴都能在星期日午餐上吃到。例如，烤牛肉和约克郡布丁。
虽然在英国人人都明白“早餐”是一天中的第一餐，但还是会搞不清其他进餐的单词，例如“正餐（晚宴），午餐，下午茶，傍晚茶点，午前茶，早午餐，晚餐”。假如你问一个英国人这些单词是什么意思，他们中大多数人都将会根据他们来自的地区或社会阶层给你一个不同的答案。
早餐
一般来说，英国的早餐比其他多数国家的早餐更加丰盛。很多人早上都爱吃“煎食”，包括煎熏猪肉、鸡蛋和炸面包，可能还有炸番茄或是黑香肠。当然不是每个人在早晨那么早都想吃很多，许多人更喜欢吃吐司加果酱再加上杯茶或咖啡。谷类食品非常流行，最为常见的是玉米片。它们是用不同的谷类做成的，像玉米、小麦、燕麦等。假如你去英国的超市，你将看到那里有很多种谷类食品可供购买。在苏格兰，人们都爱吃麦片粥，虽然麦片粥非常难以消化，但它使你在上学路上能抵御寒冷。
午餐
假如你到英国去学习英语，并且和一个英国家庭住在一起，午餐时他们基本上都会给你一份“盒装午餐”。有些工厂和学校有食堂，你可以在那里吃，但盒装午餐是吃得最为普遍的。一份盒装午餐通常包括一个三明治、一小包薯条、一个苹果和一听饮料像可口可乐。食物都装在塑料盒子里，上学或上班时都可以随身携带。盒装午餐的品质由差到好，因做饭的人不同而不同。
晚餐
世事变迁，现在很多英国人都爱吃不同国家的东西，例如，意大利面、咖喱食品。事实上你甚至可以说英国人不太吃英国食品。然而晚餐中最常吃的是“肉和两样蔬菜”。它包括一块肉和两样不同且煮熟了的蔬菜。上面浇有煮肉时留下的肉汁。几乎不可缺少的一种蔬菜是土豆。英国人大量食用土豆。
