During a visit to England, foreign visitors can enjoy a wide variety of both national and international dishes. But what to expect when eating in this country?
You have to know that English has three main meals a day: the breakfast (between 08:00 am and 09:00 am); lunch (a light meal or an aperitif between 12:00 hrs and 13:30 hrs) and the Dinner (sometimes called dinner or tea, which is the main meal of the day between 18:30 pm and 20:00 pm).
On Sundays the main meal of the day is often eaten around 13:00 pm instead of in the evening. This meal usually consists of roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, and two types of vegetables.
Most visitors abroad stand English breakfast as the typical version of eggs, bacon, sausages, fried bread, mushrooms and beans, all accompanied with a cup of tea or coffee. Today, however, a typical English breakfast is typically a bowl of cereal, a slice of toast, orange juice, and tea or coffee.
Lunch.
During the week, due to a lifestyle of those who often work at a distance away from home, many people have a "packed lunch" or sandwiches for lunch, with a packet of chips, fruit and a drink.
Sunday lunch is a different matter and is a time when the family sits down to a traditional Sunday barbecue. This consists of roast meat, tow different types of vegetables, always including roast potatoes with Yorkshire Pudding, a flour-based dough cooked in the oven.
It is consumed beef, lamb or pork, while chicken is also popular. The meat is accompanied by a white horseradish sauce, pork with apple sauce and the lamb is eaten with a green mint sauce. The sauce is then poured over the meat.
Price
Traditionally, dinner was similar to Sunday lunch, but today this is not usually eaten on ordinary days. Today most of the people in Britain prefer curry, rice or pasta for dinner. Fresh vegetables in England are also very popular, such as peas, carrots, cabbages, onions, and potatoes.
