“Dining
out” and “eating out” are phrases people use in Britain when they eat in a
restaurant or pub(酒馆). Eating out is more popular in Britain today than it has ever been. In 2006,
for the first time ever, British people spent more eating out than cooking for
themselves and eating at home. It seems that many British people are becoming
increasingly interested in how good their food tastes, and also how healthy it
is.
However, eating out can also be expensive. As British
people do not eat out every night of the week, eating in a restaurant is often
seen as a special occasion. When going on a first date and wanting to impress
him/her, or if celebrating an anniversary or a birthday, many people like to go
to a restaurant to eat, and people often also eat in a restaurant before going to
the cinema or the theater.
As in all cultures, there are many rules of etiquette(礼仪)surrounding food
and eating. The knife and fork should be used in the correct way! It is also
impolite to have your elbows (肘部)on the dining table when you
are eating.
Almost
all British cities have a vast range of food as well as traditional British
food, and all from the very cheap to the very expensive-French , Italian,
Indian, Chinese, Greek, Thai, Japan and many, many more. In fact, when asked
which was their favorite food, more British people said an Indian curry(咖喱菜肴)than any other
dish!
As well as dining in a restaurant, when people are too
tired to cook after work they often get a “takeaway”. This means that they
order from a take-out restaurant by telephone, and then go to collect it and
take it home to eat. Many take-out restaurants also deliver it to your house.
While you can normally find a take-out restaurant for almost any food, the most
popular are Italian pizza, Indian and Chinese and then all you have to do is to
open the door, pay and eat!
