80 Eating in How is a British day organised according to meals? Well, let9s find out. Breakfast : A traditional English breakfast is a big meal, but nowadays many people just have cereal with milk and sugar, porridge, or toast with marmalade or jam. Lunch : What with being out at work, people usually have a light lunch during the week: it9s usually just sandwiches, salad, a bacon butty , or a jacket potato. A heartier meal is instead served at the weekend: Sunday roast, here you are! Brunch : Originating in England in the 19th century, it emerged as a way for late-risers to enjoy a leisurely meal (breakfast + lunch). It9s often associated with social gatherings and relaxation. And the weekend& guess why. Afternoon tea : Typically enjoyed at around 5 o9clock, this ritual often takes place on Sundays and is rich in tradition. It features scones served with jam and clotted cream , along with delicate sandwiches. Evening meal : Of the many indicators of social class in Britain, one of the most common is the choice of names for this meal. If you call it <tea=, and eat it at around 6.30, you are almost certainly working class. If you call it <dinner=, and eat it at around 7pm, you are probably lower-middle class. If you use the term <dinner= for more formal evening meals, and call your family evening meal <supper=, you are probably upper-middle class. A family <supper= is generally eaten at around 7.30, while a <dinner= from 8.30 4 5 READING Go online and find out the following. 1 Most common cereal in Britain 2 Most common sandwiches in Britain 3 Difference between jam, marmalade, and chutney 4 Favourite curries 5 Typical toppings for jacket potatoes 6 Typical dishes for brunch 7 Most common vegs in a <meat and two vegs= 8 Top delivered food in Britain (ethnicity) onwards.
