    “English breakfast”

    Lunch is the second /third meal of the day. It consists of three courses:
    The first course is
    some soup (clear, vegetable, meat, pea, bean or fruit soup). I generally take fruit soup,
    because this is my favourite.

    The second course is


    1. some meat (a pork chop, some poultry- ( chicken, turkey) or fish, usually
    tuna,salmon or heck) with garnish (mashed potatoes, chips or rice)
    2. some vegetable dish made from green peas, French beans, marrow, spinach or
    sorrel.
    3. Cabbage is also popular prepared as cabbage with tomatoes or stuffed cabbage.
    4. The second course may also be some noodles, pancakes, strudel (filled with fruit,
    cottage cheese, cabbage or poppy-seed)or doughnuts.
    The third course is always some cake or depending on the season of the year fresh or stewed
    fruit.

    Hungarian cuisine is famous for its dishes.


     Hungarian Goulash
     Fisherman’ s soup
     paprika chicken with sour cream,
     stuffed cabbage,
     noodles with poppy-seed and sugar/cabbage or roasted paprika potatoes.
    Our national dish is noodles with cottage cheese, sour cream and scraps of roasted bacon
    We are also fond of different soups:‘beans soup of Jókai’ and ‘Újházi chicken broth.
    Drinks

    There are different types of restaurants:

     To eat out means to have a meal in a restaurant. If you want to dine out you have
    the choice of going to a first-, second-, or third-class restaurant, a self-service
    restaurant /fast food restaurant or in summer and to an open-air restaurant.
    People choose the self-service system if they are in a hurry and they want to have a quick
    meal. You go into the restaurant and choose the dish you want to eat from the list (which is)
    hanging on the wall. Then you pick up a tray, knife, fork, spoon and queue at the counter
    where the food is on display. You pick out what you want and put it on your tray, which you
    have to push along a special rack till you reach the cashier. The cashier will give you the bill.
    After paying you take your tray to any table you like. You can sit alone or with another
    customer. Furthermore advantages are that you can have a hot meal in few minutes. The
    only disadvantage is that you may not always find a free table.
    If people have time and money, they go to a first-class restaurant. When you enter a
    restaurant, first you have to leave your coats in the cloakroom. After that you enter the dining-
    room and either look for an empty table yourself or the headwaiter shows you to one. Some
    people reserve tables in advance, otherwise they may not always have luck in finding a free
    table. You sit down at the table and ask the waiter for the menu. If you decide to dine a la
    carte, you go through the menu and give the order to the waiter. Sometimes you ask the
    waiter what he can recommend you. Some restaurants have certain special dishes which
    can’t be eaten at other places. As most dishes have a fancy name you sometimes ask the
    waiter what that dish includes. Paying for your dinner at a restaurant in Hungary is not always
    very simple. You have to make a sign to the waiter and let him know that you’d like to ask
    for the bill. He comes immediately and you can pay. You usually give the waiter a tip or
    leave it on the table. It is usually ten or fifteen per cent of the grand total. I love eating in
    restaurant because the atmosphere is so intimate/familiar there and a soft music is sounding
    at the background not to mention you are served. But I rarely go to restaurant unless there is
    an occasion. We often go to a café or a pizzeria where we go Dutch.
