The usual meals in England are: breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner. Breakfast is
generally a bigger meal than they have on a Continent. In the morning an Englishman
has his favourite breakfast which consists of porridge followed by fried bacon and
eggs. Then he has toast with butter and marmalade. Perhaps some fruit will also be
eaten. For a change, you may have cold ham or fish, some coffee and a roll. Breakfast
is often a quick meal, because the father has to get away for his work, the children
have to go to school and the mother has her housework to do.
At midday people have their lunch. It consists of 2 courses. The businessman
finds it impossible to get home for this, and so takes his lunch in a cafe or a
restaurant. For the lunch one can take cold meat, beef, mutton, and veal with boiled
or fried potatoes, vegetables followed by biscuits and cheese and a cup of coffee.
Afternoon tea follows between 4 and 5 o'clock. This is not generally a formal
meal. You may sit anywhere you like and have a cup on your knee and eat thin
buttered bread, pastries and a cake.
The evening meal is called dinner. Usually a savoury meat course is followed by
stewed fruit, pudding and tea, or whatever they can afford.
