The Traditional English lunch
Lunch is usually taken at
one o'clock. For many people lunch is a quick
meal. Office workers usually go to a cafe at this time. They take fish, poultry or cold meat (beef, mutton, veal and ham), boiled or fried potatoes and all sorts of salad. They may have a mutton chop or steak and chips, followed by biscuits and a cup of coffee. Some people like a glass of light beer with lunch. Pubs also serve good, cheap food.
Слайд 6
But the packed lunch is the most common
thing to eat. A packed lunch normally consists of
some sandwiches, a packet of crisps, an apple and a can of something to drink, for example, coca-cola. The contents are kept in a plastic container and you take it with you when you go to school or work.

The Traditional English Afternoon Tea
Afternoon tea is taken
at about 5 o'clock, but it can hardly be
called a meal. It is a cup of tea and a cake or biscuits. At the weekends afternoon tea is a special occasion. Friends and visitors are often invited to have a chat over a cup of tea.

The Traditional English Dinner

meal of the whole day. It is usually eaten

Traditional American Food
American food is definitely multinational, just
like its population. People from other countries when arriving
to the USA brought with them their national recipes. So, now all American food is partly Italian, partly Greek, partly Jewish, partly Chinese, partly French, etc.

Americans usually have three meals a day: breakfast,
lunch and dinner. All these three meals are served
almost at the same time as in Britain
Breakfast -before eight o'clock in the morning
Lunch - between 12:00 and 1:00 p.m.
Dinner (supper) - between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.

and lunch. Scrambled eggs or omelets are often served
along with other regular luncheon dishes. It is usually served about eleven in the morning. Many fine restaurants have a traditional Sunday brunch where it is served from around 10 a.m. until mid-afternoon.
Слайд 16
Traditional American Dinner
Dinner is ordinary planned around a
meat course, pork, or various fowl such as chicken
or turkey. Ground beef is called hamburger and ground pork is sausage. American dinner often includes potatoes or rice, and green or yellow vegetables. Fresh salad is also frequently served. Coffee, tea and milk are generally served with a dessert after dinner, but not always. Sometimes a typical dinner may include an appetizer, such as soup or fruit salad. The word «supper» can be used in place of dinner.
Слайд 17

fast food, including hamburgers, French fries, hot dogs, pizzas
and some other quick and easy-made dishes.
