    What is a typical English Breakfast?

    Most people around the world seem to think a typical English breakfast consists of eggs,
    bacon, sausages, fried bread, mushrooms and baked beans all washed down with a cup
    of coffee. Now-a-days, however, a typical English breakfast is more likely to be a bowl of
    cereals, a slice of toast, orange juice and a cup of coffee.

    Many people, especially children, in England will eat a bowl of cereal. They are made
    with different grains such as corn, wheat.

    What is a typical British lunch?

    Many children at 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.

    The evening meal is usually called 'tea', 'dinner' or 'supper'.

    What is a traditional British Dinner?


    A typical British meal for dinner is "meat and two veg". We put hot brown gravy, on the meat and
    usually the vegetables. THEY like potatoes.

    Traditional Drinks in Britain

    Tea

    Britain is a tea-drinking nation. Every day we drink 165 million cups of the stuff and
    each year around 144 thousand tons of tea are imported.

    Tea in Britain is traditionally brewed in a warmed china teapot, adding one spoonful of
    tea per person and one for the pot. Most Britons like their tea strong and dark, but with a
    lot of milk.

    The traditional way of making tea is:

     Boil some fresh cold water. (We use an electric kettle to boil water)
     Put some hot water into the teapot to make it warm.
     Pour the water away
     Put one teaspoon of tea-leaves per person, and one extra tea-spoon, into the pot.
     Pour boiling water onto the tea.
     Leave for a few minutes.
     Serve

    Did you know?

    If someone asks you if you 'would like a cuppa', they are asking if you would
    like a cup of tea.

    If someone says 'let me be mother' or 'shall I be mother', they are offering to


    pour out the tea from the teapot.
    Tea Words and phrases

    Tea break, High tea, tea time, tea party, tea towel and many more terms have derived from the tradition of
    drinking tea.

    Tea breaks are when tea and biscuits are served. The traditional time for tea breaks are at 11:00 am (Elevensee)
    and 4 pm in the afternoon.

    If something is not quite to your taste, it’s probably 'not your cup of tea'.
    e.g. Windsurfing is not my cup of tea.

    Coffee
    Coffee is now as popular in Britain as tea is. People either drink it with milk or have it black and either have
    freshly- made coffee or instant coffee.
