    ENGLISH MEALS
    The English take four meals a day: breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner
    or supper. In England breakfast time is between seven and nine, lunch
    time is between twelve and two, tea is between four and five and dinner or
    supper time is between seven and ten.
    In some English houses lunch is the biggest meal of the day – they
    have meat or fish, vegetables, fruit or pudding. Some people who go out
    to work have sandwiches and coffee.
    In the afternoon, at tea time the English, as you
    know, like to have a cup of tea with milk. Some
    Englishmen have their dinner late in the evening.
    For dinner they have soup, fish or meat, vegetables,
    pudding and fruit.
    For supper they usually have a glass of milk and a
    cake or a cup of tea and a sandwich.
    But there are people who like to have some more
    things to eat for supper – cold meat or fish. Then they
    usually try to take a good walk after supper: “after
    dinner sleep a while, after supper walk a mile”, the
    English proverb goes.
    AMERICAN FOOD
    What is «American» food? The answer is that it is part Italian, part
    British, part German, part Mexican, part Chinese… When people from
    other countries came to live in the US, they brought different cooking
    traditions. Some of them opened restaurants. Today Americans enjoy food
    from all over the world. Over the years some foreign dishes changed a
    little.
    Doughnuts were originally from Holland. In 1847 a young American
    boy told his mother that her doughnuts were never cooked in the middle.
    He cut out the center and his mother cooked them — and they were very
    tasty!
    Maybe the US is most famous for «fast foods». The first fast food
    restaurants served hamburgers, but now they serve other kinds of food too.
    Inside there is often a «salad bar», where you
    can help yourself to as much salad as you want.
    Americans eat a lot, and when they go to a
    restaurant, they don't expect to be hungry
    afterwards. Most restaurants will put a lot of
    food on your plate — sometimes it can be too
    much. But if you can't finish it all, don't worry:
    they will give you a "doggy bag" and you can
    take it home.
    Most Americans now have a light breakfast instead of the traditional
    eggs, bacon, toast, orange juice and coffee. But on weekends there is more
    time, and a large late breakfast or early lunch is often eaten with family or
    friends.
