British Foods!

Meal Time

First of all, before you even know what you are going to eat, you have to know when to

eat it!! The meal times in England are similar to our meal times in a general way.

Meal Time Traditional Name

Breakfast 7:00-9:00 (AM) Breakfast

Lunch 12:00-1:30 (PM) Dinner

Dinner 6:30-8:00 (PM) Tea

A Typical English Breakfast!

A typical English breakfast is just like ours! Toast, cereal, oatmeal, coffee, or orange juice are common to see on the table at

7:00 to 9:00.

A Traditional English Breakfast!

The traditional English breakfast is a little different! Bacon, sausages, eggs, mushrooms, fried bread, and baked beans are all components of the traditional breakfast! That’s a mouthful!

Think of this traditional breakfast

as a breakfast you would get while

staying at a hotel or when eating out for

breakfast!

Did you know…This breakfast is

sometimes called the ‘Full-English’

or the ‘Full English Fry-Up’!

A Typical Great Britain Lunch!

Lunch in England is about the same as the USA. I’m sure we all have brought a sandwich and a drink from

home for lunch at least once. Over in Great Britain they also bring sandwiches, drinks, fruits, and snacks

just like us!

Did you know…Chips are called ‘Crisps’ and fries are called chips?

School Lunches!Here is a menu from Woodland’s Junior School in Tonbridge, Kent!

Their lunch is from 12:15 to 1:15! Notice that they get an hour for lunch, and how late it is! If you are in French you probably already know that European people like to eat slower than Americans! Also their lunch is late! We are starving by12:40 and that is the latest lunch!

A Typical English Dinner

Dinner could be called dinner, supper, or tea. A typical English dinner is usually a meat and two vegetables. One of the vegetables is normally a potato. Gravy is poured on everything, even the veggies! Rice and pasta are also a common food

for supper.

Sunday Dinner

On Sundays a roast is popular. It is served with vegetables, potatoes, and even pudding for dessert!

Some common vegetables are cabbages, peas, carrots, and onions. Beef, lamb, pork, and even

chicken are eaten as meats.

Typical Dishes

Here are some typical English foods:

Yorkshire Pudding

Surprisingly, this pudding isn't a dessert! It isn’t really a ‘pudding’ to the American standard! It is

more like a pastry. Yorkshire pudding is eaten with the main meal! They are usually eaten with

vegetables and gravy on top, and for dessert with ice cream. When sausages are baked inside,

they are known by a different name…

Toad-In-The-Hole

When sausages are baked inside Yorkshire pudding, they are known as toad-in-a-hole! It is named that because the sausage is like a toad peeping out of the Yorkshire hole.

Below are the ingredients needed to make Toad-In-The-Hole.

Fish and Chips!

I’m sure all of you have had fish and chips! It is fish (mostly cod) fried and placed alongside French fries or ‘chips’ as they call it. Fish and

chips can be bought at a ‘Chippie’ or chip shop. It is normally a take out food or an outdoor food

like eating a hotdog at Frankie’s.

Bubble and Squeak

Potatoes, carrots, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, peas, and other vegetables left over from a different

meal are chopped and put into a frying pan. They are fried with mashed potato until it is browning. I’m sure you are all wondering where the name

comes from… It actually comes from the sound it makes as it cooks! It bubbles and squeaks!

DESSERT!Here are some common Desserts and

pies in the UK.

Pies!In the UK, pies are not only for dessert. There

are: Steak and Kidney Pies, Pork Pies, Stargazy Pie, Cornish Pie, and so many more! They also have sweet pies: Apple, Rhubarb,

and Blackberry pies are very common.

‘Puddings’ or Desserts

There are so many ‘puddings’ or desserts! There is a trifle which is sponge cake with jam, custard, whipped cream, fruit, and other soakings. Also there is Hasty Pudding which is a quick (hasty) dessert! There are also crumpets, bread and

butter pudding, mince pies, jelly, and of course ice-cream!

LET’S EAT!But don’t forget…

Table manners are very important to the British! Even small children are supposed to

follow the rules!
