In the morning; people around the world think that British people would eat eggs, bacon, sausages, fried bread,...with a cup of coffee. Today, however, a typical British breakfast is more likely to be a bowl of cereals (which made with different grains such as corn, wheat, oats,etc), a slice of toast, orange juice or a cup of coffee.
As for lunch, lunch is not very important to the British. They choose snacks like sandwiches, a packet of crisps, a piece of fruit and drink. And, they are kept in a plastic container.
Dinner, it is called "tea", "dinner", or "supper". A typical meal is "meat and two veg". They put hot brown gravy on the meat and usually the vegetables (potatoes, carrots, ect). Today, such a meal is rarely eaten, except on Sundays. A recent survey told that most people in Britain eat curry, rice, or pasta.]]> 2022-09-23 14:13:36 UTC https://padlet.com/phuongnhu1772002/gbgulvimvnjxas96/wish/2310576828 Afternoon Tea phuongnhu1772002 https://padlet.com/phuongnhu1772002/gbgulvimvnjxas96/wish/2312270814 Afternoon tea, that most quintessential of English customs is.
- Afternoon tea was introduced in England by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in the year 1840. Because the time between lunch and dinner is so long, she is usually hungry around four o'clock in the evening. So, she asked for a tray of tea, bread, butter and cakes to be brought to her room. It became a habit of hers and she often invited her friends to join her
- Traditional afternoon tea consists of a selection of dainty sandwiches scones served with clotted cream and preserves. Cakes and pastries are also served. Nowadays however, in the average suburban home, afternoon tea is likely to be just a biscuit or small cake and a mug of tea, usually produced using a teabag. 
- Afternoon tea is not common these days  because most adults go out to work.

* In the society
- There are no "restaurant culture" nor a "cafe society".
  • People just want to eat up quickly and are not interested much in quality.
  • British people don't go to a cafe for a delicious, slow up of coffee, they go there because they just need caffein.
* At home
  •  Meals tend to be eaten quickly and the table cleared
  • Parties and celebrations are not normally centered around food.
