| Talking about English Meals
The usual English meals are breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner. The usual English breakfast is porridge (made of oats and water) or cornflakes with milk or cream and sugar, bacon and eggs, marmalade (made from oranges) with buttered toast and tea or coffee. Lunch is about one o’clock. We have cold meat (left over probably from yesterday’s dinner), potatoes, salad and pickles, with a pudding or fruit to follow. Sometimes we have a chop, or a steak and chips, followed by biscuits and cheese. Afternoon tea you can hardly call a meal but it is a sociable sort of thing, as friends often call in then for a chat while they have their cup of tea, cake or biscuits. In some houses dinner is the biggest meal of the day. But in a great many English homes, the midday meal is the chief one of the day, and in the evening we have a much simpler supper – an omelette, or sausages, sometimes bacon and eggs and sometimes just bread and cheese, a cup of coffee or cocoa and fruit. We have «high tea» between 5 or 6 o’clock, and we have ham or tongue and tomatoes and salad, or tinned fish, or sausages with good strong tea, plenty of bread and butter, stewed fruit, or a tin of pears, apricots or pineapples with cream and pastries or a good cake.

Restaurants serving «British» food tend to be either very expensive and found in luxury hotels, or cheap and nasty serving mainly fried food.

They often have family areas where people under 16 can sit and eat. People in Britainare more likely to eat fast food than go out to eat in a posh restaurant.

Text 22 British Homes Old people, young families and unmarried people in Britain do not usually live together. Many British people love old houses, and these are often more expensive than modern ones. They also love gardening, and you will see gardens everywhere you go, in towns, villages and out in the country. Some are very small, with just one tree and a few flowers. Others are enormous, with plenty of flowers and enough vegetables and fruit trees to feed a family. There are 19 million homes in Britain – big homes and small homes, old cottages and new high-rise buildings, houses and flats. Half of the families in Britain own their homes. Millions of these «owner-occupied» houses are the same, with two or three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, and a small garden at the back and front of the house. To pay for their house, home owners borrow money from a «building society» and pay back a little every month. One third of British people live in rented state-owned homes, called «council houses». Many of these are flats, but some are houses, each with a small piece of garden. Other people rent their homes from private owners.
