Переделайте этот текст под Россию One of the popular myths about the English is that they only eat fish and chips and roast beef, the Scots eat porridge, and the Irish live on potatoes. Some of it is true, but the British people also eat many other kinds of food, including their classic puddings, pies, soups, stews and sandwiches.
The traditional English breakfast consists of eggs, bacon, sausages, toast, baked beans and mushrooms. It is always served in hotels and guest houses around Britain but not many people in the UK will eat this for breakfast today. A typical English breakfast is more likely to be a bowl of cereal, a slice of toast, orange juice and a cup of coffee. In winter many people eat ‘porridge’ or boiled oats.
In British schools children have a school meal or bring a packed lunch in the middle of the day. A 'packed lunch' 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.
The evening meal is usually called 'dinner' or 'supper'. A traditional British meal for dinner is 'meat and two vegetables' one of which is usually potatoes. Nowadays, except on Sundays, most people in Britain eat curry, rice or pasta dishes for dinner. Vegetables like carrots, peas, onions and cabbage are very popular, too. Sunday dinner is the traditional Sunday roast. It consists of roast meat, two different kinds of vegetables and potatoes with Yorkshire pudding.
