Traditional English Breakfast
In Great Britain breakfast is a
big meal.
Start your traditional English breakfast
with fruit juice, followed
by cereal such as
corn flakes served with cold milk, fruit and
sugar. You might also have bacon and
eggs or smoked kippers. Finish your
breakfast with tea or coffee.
Слайд 8
Traditional Lunch
Lunch is often a snack, a light
meal that
people eat quickly.
A typical lunch may include:
a
sandwich, a salad, soup or bread and
cheese. People often take sandwiches to
work or they go to a pub, a sandwich bar
or a cafe.
Слайд 9
The Good Habit of Tea Drinking
Tea is the
British national drink. It is drunk
from breakfast to supper
and from early in
the morning to late at night. Britain is a tea
drinking nation. Tea doesn’t only mean a cup
of tea . It has given its name to the
traditional British meal called ’afternoon
tea’ or ’high tea’ .
The traditional way of making tea is in a teapot, which is
first warmed with hot water. Very hot water is then
poured on to the tea leaves.
Слайд 10
Dinner
Dinner is the main meal of the day.
It is
usually eaten in the evening, but
sometimes it is
also eaten at midday. The
British generally eat at about six o’clock.
A British dinner usually includes meat with
potatoes and other vegetables. They usually
finish their meal with
dessert or pudding. They usually drink tea or
water ; children often drink milk.
Wine or beer is also can be served.
Слайд 11
Christmas
A traditional Christmas dinner includes
stuffed roast turkey with
roast potatoes and
some other green vegetable like Brussel
sprouts. Dessert
usually includes Christmas
pudding, an extremely rich pudding made
with dried fruit or Christmas cake which is
also made with dried fruit and then
covered with icing.
Слайд 12
Halloween
Because Halloween comes in the
wake of the
yearly apple harvest,
candy apples, (known as toffee apples
outside North
America), caramel or
taffy apples are common Halloween
treats made by rolling whole apples in
a sticky sugar syrup, sometimes
followed by rolling them in
nuts.
Слайд 13
Easter
Easter in Britain is similar throughout
all
four countries and involves traditional
cooking and baking with
the highlight of
the weekend of festivities involving copious
amounts of chocolate eggs.
The two important cakes at Easter are the
Simnel Cake and Hot Cross Buns.
Chocolate will appear again for the dessert.
Usually it’s a Chocolate Mousse
or Chocolate Cake.
Слайд 14
The Conclusions
The English are conservative.
They keep traditions.
They have special foods for each occasion.
Englishmen are
heavy eaters. Britain is a
tea drinking nation. Tea is not just a
national drink, it’s a ceremony.
Слайд 15
To compare it with Russia it’s
possible to say that Russians also are keeping traditions
and have special food for each holiday. The Russians are heavy eaters too. Though according to our survey which was conducted among the students of the 6 and 7 grades, they don’t like a big meal for breakfast. They prefer a light meal. For lunch Englishmen have a light meal and Russians eat a big meal. Both Englishmen and Russians prefer a drink for a snack in the afternoon. As for the evening meal here we have the difference: the English eat a big meal and the Russians prefer a light meal . Of course, this is true for the people who took part in our survey.
