Тема практичної : English Meals Many typical English dishes center on roast meat – beef, pork, lamb, poultry and game. Roast beef is accompanied by roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. Mint sauce is usually served with lamb, and currant jelly with poultry. Pork is normally complimented by apple sauce. A treat is salmon, also smoked, as are haddock and mackerel. Regional sea specialties include oysters. Stews and pies are particular favourites, with Lancashire hot pot, a celebrated stew. Melton Mobray in Leicestershire produces pork pies, and Cornwall Cornish pasties. Cheeses include Cheddar, Cheshire, Stilton, Double Gloucester, Red Leicester, Derbyshire, Lancashire and Wensleydale. The most famous British takeaway is still the fish and chip chop. Tea is the national drink. Children have tea about 5 or 6 p. m. “Five o’clock tea’’ is the meal and not a drink. It is often meet or fish with vegetables and then a dessert. Cream teas are very popular. You may have scones (cake) with cream and jam. Coffee enjoys almost equal popularity.

For breakfast most people have cereal or toast and tea or coffee. People have tea with cold milk. Some people prefer instant coffee, made just with hot water. Many visitors to Britain find this coffee disgusting. Lunch is a quick meal. It is very light, usually a sandwich and some fruit. There are a lot of sandwich bars with a wide choice of bread, salad, fish and meat which go for sandwiches. Pubs serve good, cheap food, both hot and cold. School children can have a hot meal at school but many take a lunch bag from home – a sandwich, a drink apples or bananas. On Sundays many families have a traditional lunch: roast meat with potatoes, vegetables and gravy - a sauce made from the meat juices. People have dinner at 7 or 8 p.m. The evening meal is the main meal of the day. Usually the whole family eats together. Supper must be very light - a sandwich or toast, or just some biscuits. Those who haven't eaten dinner may eat supper at 9 p.m. At the restaurant you will have a starter, main course and a dessert. The starter includes a vegetable, tomato or chicken soup, prawn cocktail, melon and ham or fruit juice. Main courses give a choice of chicken casserole, roast beef, fish pie served with new potatoes and fresh vegetables. Desserts may include Black Forest Gateau / ga:‘tou / (a chocolate cake), an apple pie with cream or ice cream, cheese and biscuits. Eating out in Britain is very easy. There are many establishments which are worth visiting. The choice is excellent, especially in London. Concentrated in the West End alone are several hundred restaurants catering for the most tastes and pockets, with full meals ranging from 1.50 to 30 pounds. Most nationalities with a reputation for cuisine are represented in the British capital. You can choose any restaurant to your liking - classical French, classical international, Italian, Japanese, Greek, Hungarian, British, Cantonese. Some restaurants provide special kind of treat - like afternoon tea for children of all ages, eat-as-much-as-you-can set tea at Harrods Restaurant. Probably, a famous quotation of the writer and humorist George Mikes ‘‘On the Continent people have good food; in England people have good table manners’’ will soon be forgotten. Nowadays British pubs are becoming the places where you can eat well and cheaply. British steak and mushroom pie, Lancashire hotpot are the gastronomic wonders of the world. Тopical vocabulary
