BREAKFAST
traditional English breakfast
Most people around the world think a typical English breakfast consists of eggs, bacon, sausages, fried bread, mushrooms and baked beans.
Now-a-days, however, a typical English breakfast is a bowl of cereals, a slice of toast, orange juice and a cup of coffee.

LUNCH
Many children at school and adults at work have a 'packed lunch'. 
This typically consists of a sandwich, a packet of crisps, a piece of fruit and a drink. The 'packed lunch' is kept in a plastic container.

DINNER
The evening meal is usually called 'tea', 'dinner' or 'supper'. 
A typical British meal for dinner is "meat and two veg". 
British people put hot brown gravy on the meat and usually the vegetables. One of the vegetables is almost always potatoes.
A recent survey found that most people in Britain eat curry! 
Rice or pasta dishes are now favoured as the 'British Dinner'.


Vegetables grown in England, like potatoes, carrots, peas, cabbages and onions, are still very popular.
