English Meals
An ˈEnglishman's ˈday beˎgins | when he ˈsits ˈdown to ˈtable to ˈhave his ˈfavourite ˏbreakfast | of ˏfruit juice, ˈcereal and ˏmilk, ˈtoast and ˏmarmalade, ˈtea or ˎcoffee.
Aˈround about ˈ11 in the ˏmorning | ˈthose who ˏwork | ˈhave their ˈtea or ˎcoffee break. They ˈnever ˈcall it a ˎmeal, of course. ˈMost ˈshops and ˈoffices ˋdon't .close for the .lunch ˏbreak. ˈStaff ˈbreaks are ˏstaggered | ˈso that a ˈskeleton staff is on ˎduty. ˈOffice ˏworkers, ˏshop assistants, ˏteachers ˏetc, ˈtake ˏsandwiches, ˈuse the canˈteen or reˏfectory facilities, ˈbuy from a ˈnearby ˈfast food ˏoutlet, ˈsandwich ˏbar | and ˎso on.
|
|
|
ˈMost ˎEnglishmen | ˈlike what they ˈcall ˈgood ˈ plain ˎfood. They ˈmust be ˈable to ˎrecognize ˈwhat they are ˎeating. But ˈGreat ˈBritain is ˈnow a ˈmultiˈethnic soˎciety | and the ˈaverage ˈEnglish ˎfamily | has a ˈtaste for ˈforeign ˎfoods. ˏFrozen (or ˈchilled) ˏmeals and ˈpreˎpacks | are ˈused by ˈthose who have ˈno ˏtime | or ˈincliˏnation | to ˈcook themˎselves.
ˈThose who ˈeat at ˎhome | ˈusually ˈcall their ˈmidday ˈmeal ˎdinner, and ˈmake it the ˎchief one of the ˎday. It ˈoften conˈsists of ˈtwo or ˈthree ˎcourses. The ˈmain dish ˈusually inˈcludes ˎmeat of some kind: | ˏsteak, ˏchops, ˏroast-beef or ˏchicken | and ˎvegetables: | poˏtatoes, ˏpeas, ˏbeans, ˏcabbage, or ˎcauliflower. But it can ˈalso be ˈanything ˎelse | from an ˈIndian ˎcurry dish | to Iˈtalian ˈpizza and ˎsalad.
ˈThen the ˈtable is ˏcleared | and the ˏdessert (or ˎpudding) is ˈbrought ˎin. ˈThis may be ˈanything from ˈice-cream to ˎfruit: | ˏapples, ˏpears, ˏoranges, ˏplums and ˎnuts. ˈSome people ˈlike to fˈinish their ˏmeal | with ˈcheese and ˈplain ˎbiscuits. ˈCoffee or ˏtea | ˈusually ˎfollows. ˈIf the ˋfirst | or ˎstarter course is served | it is ˈnot ˈalways ˎsoup – ˈsometimes ˎfruit juice | or ˈhalf a ˎgrapefruit | or ˎmelon – there are ˈmany ˈstarters to ˎchoose ˎfrom.
|
|
|
The ˈfamous ˈEnglish ˈafternoon ˎtea | is ˈtaken at ˈ3 or ˎ4 | if the ˈmain meal is to ˎfollow. If the ˈmain ˈmeal is ˈeaten at midˎday, a ˈmore subˎstantial tea is served – ˏsandwiches, ˈscrambled ˈegg on ˏtoast, ˏsalad, or a ˈkind of ˈfish type ˎsnack | at aˈbout ˈ5 o'ˎclock. ˈPeople who ˎwork | enˈjoy ˈteatime at ˎweekends, but on ˋweekˏdays | they ˈhave just anˈother ˎcoffee break | at ˎthis time. ˈSupper is aˈbout ˈ9 p. ˎm. | and ˈusually a ˈvery ˎlight one, just ˈtea and ˎbiscuits, perhaps.
The ˈbusy ˈworking ˏmother | will ˈalso ˈmake ˈuse of the ˈvarious ˈfast ˎfood outlets – the ˈIndian and Chiˈnese ˎtakeaways, the ˎpizza parlours | where ˈvarious Iˈtalian ˎfood is bought | ˈready-ˎcooked. ˈMany of ˈthese ˏplaces | have a deˎlivery service | and ˈall that the ˈcustomer ˈneeds ˏdo | is ˈpick up the ˏtelephone, ˈorder the ˏmeal | and ˈ30 ˈminutes ˏlater | it’s deˈlivered to the ˎdoor.
The ˈway of ˈlife has ˈaltered draˎmatically | in the ˈlast ˈ30 ˈyears or ˏso. ˈHealthy ˏeating | is a ˏphrase | that has beˈcome a ˎbyword. At ˈany ˈgiven ˎmoment, ˈprobably ↑50 per ˎcent | of the ˈBritish ˎpublic, ˈmen and ˎwomen, are ˎdieting | to ˈlose ˎweight.
