People in Britain usually have three main meals a day. They have certain food for meals. British food has traditionally been based on beef, lamb, pork, chicken and fish and generally served with potatoes and one other vegetable. The most common and typical foods eaten in Britain include the sandwich, fish and chips, pies like the cornish pasty, trifle and roasts dinners. The meals nowadays are quite different from traditional English meals because they have changed with the time.
They have breakfast between 7:00 and 9:00. They have lunch between 12:00 and 1:30 p.m. Most people today have a small lunch. They usually have sandwiches, and perhaps some crisps and some fruit for it. They have dinner (sometimes called supper) between 6:30p.m. and 8:00 p.m. That is the main meal of the day. But traditionally, lunch is called dinner, for people eat their main meal at midday.
What is a typical English breakfast? Most people around the world may think a typical English breakfast consists of eggs, bacon, sausages, fried bread, mushrooms with a cup of coffee. However, a typical English breakfast nowadays is more likely to be a bowl of cereals, a slice of toast, orange juice and a cup of coffee. Many people, especially children, in England will eat a bowl of cereal. They are made with different grains such as corn, wheat, oats etc. In winter, many people will eat “porridge” or boiled oats. Meals have become lighter because people are getting busier.
The typical English lunch is very different from the traditional one, for English lunch today is much lighter. But traditionally, people eat dinner at midday, so lunch used to be the dinner. Nowadays, many children at school and adults at work will have a“packed lunch”. This typically consists of a sandwich, a packet of crisps, a piece of fruit and a drink. The“packed lunch” is kept in a plastic box. The favourite sandwich of many young people is prawn and mayonnaise. Sometimes they love to have tuna and mayonnaise , ham and pickle sandwiches. Some people have a simple meal such as cheese and biscuits or soup and bread.
Nowadays, the traditional meal is hardly eaten, except on Sundays. A recent survey showed that most people in Britain eat curry! Rice or pasta dishes are now favoured as the“British Dinner”. Vegetables grown in England, like potatoes, carrots, peas, cabbages and onions, are still very popular.
And what are the traditional English meals like? Of course, now they are quite different from the traditional ones.
The traditional English breakfast is called the“Full English”or“The Full English Fry-up”. The normal dish of a traditional full English breakfast are bacon (traditionally back bacon), poached or fried eggs, fried or grilled tomatoes, fried mushrooms, fried bread or toast with butter and sausages, usually served with a mug of tea. Baked beans and hash browns are also commonly considered an important part of the breakfast. As nearly everything is fried in this meal, the term “fry-up” is quite accurate. Even though not many people will eat this for breakfast today, it is always served in hotels and guest houses around Britain.
Lunch is the meal eaten in the middle of the day （usually between about 12:30 and 2:00）. A ploughman’ s lunch is a traditional lunch for farmers in which there is a bread roll, Cheddar cheese, Branston pickle and salad, perhaps with a pork pie. It is also traditional for people to go to a pub with some friends for a pub lunch and a drink.
The traditional British dinner is usually called“tea”, “dinner”or“supper”. A typical British meal for dinner is “meat and two vegetables”. People put hot brown gravy on the meat and usually the vegetables.It is traditionally made from the juices of the roast meat, but now it is more often made from a packet. One of the vegetables is almost always potatoes.
There are several special meals in addition to the main three meals of the day in Britain. One of them is at midday of Sunday. Sunday lunch time is a typical time to eat the traditional Sunday Roast. Traditionally it has roast meat which is cooked in the oven for about two hours, two different kinds of vegetables and potatoes with a Yorkshire pudding. You can always find Yorkshire pudding in a Sunday Roast. It is made from flour, egg and milk. The most common joints are beef, lamb or pork; chicken is also popular. Beef is eaten with hot white horseradish sauce, pork with sweet apple sauce and lamb with green mint sauce.
Another special meal is Afternoon Tea. It is also called the traditional 4 o’clock tea which is a small meal, not a drink. Traditionally it consists of tea or coffee served with either of the following:
1. Freshly baked scones served with cream and jam which is known as a cream tea.
2. Afternoon tea sandwiches which is thinly sliced cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off.
3. Assorted pastries.
Afternoon tea is not common these days because most adults go out to work. However, you can still have afternoon tea at many tea rooms around England.
Afternoon tea became popular about one hundred and fifty years ago, when rich ladies invited their friends to their houses for an afternoon cup of tea. They started offering their visitors sandwiches and cakes too. Soon everyone was enjoying afternoon tea.
They also have a substantial meal called High Tea. It is traditionally called 6 o’ clock tea. The British working population did not have afternoon tea. They had a meal about midday, and a meal after work, between five and seven o’ clock which was called “high tea”or just“tea”.
High tea was a substantial meal that combined delicious sweet foods, such as scones, cakes, buns or tea breads, with tempting savouries, such as cheese on toast, toasted crumpets, cold meats and pickles or poached eggs on toast. This meal is now often replaced with a supper due to people eating their main meal in the evenings rather than at midday.
Traditional British dishes have had competition from other dishes over the years. Many other foods have come into the English meals.But if you visit England, Scotland or Wales, you can still be served with the traditional foods the British have been eating for years.
英国人通常一日吃三顿饭。他们用餐有比较固定的食物。英式传统食物通常都是由牛肉、羊肉、猪肉、鸡肉和鱼做成的，常搭配土豆和另一种蔬菜。最为普通和典型的英国食物包括三明治、鱼和英式薯条、还有像康沃尔馅饼、奶油松糕类的果馅饼类和烘烤类主餐食物。 随着时间的变迁，如今他们的三餐与传统的英国餐点有很大的不同。
他们在早上七点到九点用早餐，而午饭则在十二点到下午一点半之间。大多数人如今的午餐都很简单。他们常常会吃三明治，有时还有些薯片和一些水果。他们傍晚六点半到八点吃正餐（有时也称作晚餐），那是一天中最主要的一餐。而从传统上讲，午餐才被称作正餐，因为人们是在中午吃他们的主餐的。
地道的英式早餐是怎么样的呢？世界上大多数人都可能会认为典型的英式早餐是由鸡蛋、熏肉、火腿肠、、烤面包、蘑菇加一杯咖啡组成。可是，如今典型的英式早餐更多时候会是一碗麦片，一片烤面包，橙汁和一杯咖啡。在英国，许多人，尤其是小孩子则会吃一碗麦片粥，这种粥是由不同的谷类例如玉米、小麦、燕麦等做成的。冬天，他们就会吃粥或者煮燕麦饭。因为现在的人越来越忙，所以用餐也越来越简单。
地道的英式午餐与传统英式午餐有很大的不同, 原因是现在的午饭更为简单。根据传统习惯，人们在中午吃正餐，所以过去午餐曾经是主餐。今天，许多在校学生和上班族通常会吃午餐盒饭。盒饭里主要有三明治、一袋薯片、水果和饮料。盒饭装在一个塑料盒子里。许多年轻人最爱吃虾肉蛋黄酱三明治。有时他们喜欢吃吞拿鱼蛋黄酱或者火腿腌黄瓜三明治。有些人吃得更为简单，吃的有奶酪、饼干或者面包和西式浓汤。
除了星期日外，现在已经极少人吃传统的食物了。最近的调查显示大部分英国人喜欢吃咖喱食品。米饭或者面类食物如今被推崇为“英式晚餐”。而在英国本土种植的蔬菜，像土豆、胡萝卜、青豆、洋白菜和洋葱仍然很受欢迎。
那传统的英式三餐又是怎样的呢？当然了，它们与现在是有非常大的不同。
传统英式早餐被称作“英式全餐”或者“英式煎烤全餐”。常见的英式全餐包含有熏肉（通常是熏后腿肉）、窝蛋或者煎鸡蛋、煎西红柿或者烤西红柿、煎蘑菇、加黄油或香肠的炸面包或吐司，同时外加一杯茶。焖豆和炸薯饼也被视作英式全餐的重要组成部分。就是因为这一餐里面的东西几乎全都是煎炸的，所以使用“煎烤”这个字眼来描述它是很准确的。虽然现在没有太多的人会吃这样的早餐了，但英国的酒店和宾馆仍然会提供传统早餐。
午饭在中午进行（通常在12：30到2：00之间）。农夫午餐是农民们的传统午餐，包含有面包卷、干乳酪、布兰斯顿腌渍菜和沙拉，有时会有猪肉馅饼。人们和朋友上酒馆吃午饭或者喝东西也是吃这些东西。
传统的晚餐又叫“茶”“正餐”或者“晚饭”。最具代表性的英式晚餐食物通常是“肉加两个青菜”。人们把热气腾腾的深棕色肉汁倒在肉还有蔬菜上。传统肉汁来自烤肉，而现在大多都使用方便的袋装肉汁了。蔬菜中总有一种是土豆。
除了一日三餐外，英国人还有几种特别的餐点。其中一顿是在星期日的中午。星期日的中午通常是吃传统周日烤肉大餐的时候。这顿饭通常有烤肉，烤肉要在烤炉里烘烤两个多小时，此外还有两种不同的蔬菜和土豆，还配上约克郡布丁。你在周日烤肉大餐中总能找到约克郡布丁的身影，它是用面粉、鸡蛋和牛奶做成的。而最为常见的烤肉就是牛肉、羊肉或者猪肉，鸡肉也很受欢迎。烤牛肉常配上热的白山葵酱汁，烤猪肉则配甜苹果酱汁，还有羊肉配薄荷调味汁。
另一种特别的餐点是下午茶。它也通常被称作传统4点茶，它是一顿简单的茶餐而非饮品。传统茶餐包括有茶或咖啡，还有下面几种中的其中一样：
1. 新鲜的英式烤饼，配以奶油和果酱，这就是众所周知的奶茶茶点。
2. 去掉面包皮，切成片状，加上黄瓜片的下午茶三明治。
3. 什锦糕点。
下午茶如今不是很普遍了,这是因为大多数成年人都要外出工作，但在英国的许多茶餐厅还能吃得到下午茶。
在一百五十年前，下午茶因贵妇人们邀请朋友到家里喝茶而开始流行。她们还率先用三明治和蛋糕招待客人，很快，大家都喜欢上下午茶了。
还有一顿的丰盛的餐点叫做傍晚茶，传统上也被称作6点茶。从前，英国的劳动阶级并不吃下午茶。他们中午吃一顿，然后下班后再吃一餐，这餐时间在五点到七点之间，因而也叫“傍晚茶”或者就叫“茶”。
傍晚茶的食物很丰盛，有可口的甜点，像英式烤饼、蛋糕、面包圈或者茶点面包，配以令人垂涎的美食，像涂上奶酪的吐司面包、烤圆饼、冷盘肉、腌黄瓜或者加了窝蛋的吐司面包。如今这顿餐点被晚餐所代替，因为人们现在改在晚上吃正餐而不是在中午吃了。
近年来，其他的菜式正一直挑战着传统的英国菜式。许多不同种类的食物已经走上了英国人的餐桌。但如果你到访英格兰、苏格兰或者威尔士，你仍然可以吃到历史悠久的传统英国食品。
