In many European countries it is normal to have a long break in the middle of the day when all members of the family return to their home to eat together. This is not very common in Britain as often schools and places of work are a long way form home. Consequently the British people tend to have a good breakfast, a light lunch away from home and evening meal or dinner in the evening between six and eight. The traditional English breakfast consists of bacon, eggs, sausages, fried tomatoes, black pudding and fried bread. However, this is not commonly eaten on a regular basis, some families have it at weekends for instance.
Some people eat it as another meal during the day.
Tea or coffee is the normal drink. Cereals are also very popular and you will find a vast choice in the supermarkets. Lunch Many people take a packed lunch to school or work. This normally consists of sandwiches, crisps, a piece of fruit and a canned drink like coca-cola. If you are in a city or town there are lots of place to eat at lunch time, including sandwich bars, cafes and pubs.
