Traditional English Food
Traditional English food has been greatly influenced by other national cuisines in recent years. Despite
this fact, if you travel to Britain, you can still be served up traditional English dishes in a restaurant or at a
hotel.
A typical English breakfast is usually quite big and substantial. It includes pork sausages, bacon and
eggs, tomatoes, baked beans, mushrooms and a toast. Some people enjoy porridge, fruit and yogurt in the
morning, followed by a toast and jam, or orange marmalade. A traditional breakfast drink is tea, which
British people prefer having with cold milk. Another popular morning drink is orange juice.
For many Englishmen lunch is a fast meal. In big cities there are a lot of sandwich bars where office
clerks can choose all sorts of sandwiches with meat, fish, chicken, ham, prawns, eggs, cheese, vegetables
and lettuce. English pubs also serve good food for lunch, hot and cold. Quite a lot of workers go to famous
“fish and chips shops” and buy their favourite deep fried cod or haddock with French fries.
A lot of Englishmen drink their 5 o’clock tea. It’s a traditional light meal after work. People enjoy their
favourite teas with cookies, cakes, freshly baked sweet buns, scones and other pastries.
British people eat their evening meal at about 7 o’clock, when all members of the family are at home
together. As a rule, a typical dinner is meat and vegetables. It can be roast chicken or lamb with potatoes,
or steamed vegetables with meat gravy. For dessert, English wives cook various puddings and serve them
with ice-cream or jam.
On Sundays British families like to sit together at the table enjoying roast beef, lamb or chicken,
served with Yorkshire pudding and dressed with English mustard, apple sauce, cranberry sauce or mint
sauce.
English food is simple but very delicious. Today it continues to merge in national cuisines from all
over the world.

4. Traditional Russian breakfast also includes tea and porridge, however, it’s also quite popular to have pancakes with jam or honey. Eating sandwiches is popular too, however, most people eat them for breakfast, not for lunch. For lunch most of us usually have some soup, and for dinner it can be meat with potatoes, just like in the UK, however, it’s also typical to replace potatoes with spaghetti, rice, or buckwheat. Actually, Russian and British cuisines are in a way similar. They are both considered bland, both are influenced by other cultures, and tea is a big thing in both countries.

5. In the picture we can see a plate full of breakfast food. There are fried eggs, bacon, baked beans, pork sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes, and a few pieces of toast. In addition, we can see that there also are a jug of orange juice and a cup of tea on the table. The food looks very delicious, and if I were to choose what to eat, it would be an egg with some bacon and a piece of toast. I would also prefer to have tea rather than have juice because tea usually helps me to stay awake in the morning.

5. Описать картинку:
- Что это - завтрак, обед или ужин?
- Какую еду вы видите?
- Что бы из этого вы предпочли?
Перевод примеров ответов на задания 4 и 5:
4. Традиционный русский завтрак тоже вкдючает в себя чай и кашу, однако также довольно распространены блины с вареньем или медом. Бутерброды тоже популярны, но большинство ест их на завтрак, а не на обед. На обед едят суп, а на ужин это может быть мясо с картошкой, как и в Великобритании, но часто картошку заменяют спегетти, рисом или гречкой. Вообще, русская и британская кухня в каком-то смысле похожи. Они обе считаются пресными, на них влияют другие культуры, а чай имеет большое значение в обеих странах.
5. На картинке мы можем видеть тарелку с завтраком. Там лежат яичница, бекон, запеченные бобы, свиные сосиски, грибы, помидоры и несколько тостов. Кроме того, можно увидеть, что на столе стоят кувшин с апельсиновым соком и чашка чая. Еда выглядит очень вкусно, и если бы мне надо было выбрать, что съесть, это была бы яичница с беконом и тост. Я бы также предпочел(-ла) чай, а не сок, потому что чай обычно помогает мне утром взбодриться.
