English breakfast is a very big meal-eggs, tomatoes, tea, coffee…
For many people lunch is a quick meal.In cities there are a lot of sandwich bars, where office workers can buy the kind of bread they want-brown, white, or a roll-and then all kinds of salad and meat or fish to go in the sandwich.School children can have a hot meal at school.But many just take a sandwich, a drink and some fruit from home.
“Tea”means two things.It is a drink and a meal! Some people have afternoon tea, with sandwiches, cakes and a cup of tea.
They usually have the evening meal quite early, between 6∶00 and 8∶00, and often all the family eats together.
On Sundays many families have a traditional(传统的)lunch.They have beef, chicken, or pork with potatoes(马铃薯)and vegetables.
The English like food from other countries, too, especially(特别地)French, Chinese, Italian and Indian.People often get take-away meals-they buy the food outside and then take it home to eat.
