How many meals do you have a day? What time? What’s your biggest meal of the day? Now read the text to see how British meals are different from the ones in your country. Before you read the text try to find the meaning of the following words in your dictionary: roll (n) cream (n) keeper (n) custard (n) pastries (n) Text 1 BRITISH MEALS The usual meals in England are breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner, or, in simpler houses, breakfast, dinner, tea and supper. Breakfast is generally a bigger meal than they have on the Continent, though some English people like a continental breakfast of rolls and butter and coffee. But the traditional English breakfast is porridge or corn-flakes with milk or cream and sugar (but no good Scotsman, as Scotland is the home of porridge; even puts sugar on it), bacon and eggs, marmalade (made of oranges) with toasts, and tea or coffee. For a change you can have a boiled egg, cold ham, or perhaps fish. They generally have lunch at about one o'clock. At lunch time in a London cafe or restaurant one usually finds a mutton chop, or steak and chips, or cold meat, or perhaps fish with potatoes, salad, then a pudding or fruit to follow. Some people like a glass of lager beer with lunch. Afternoon tea you can hardly call a meal, but for the leisured classes it is a pleasant tradition when people come in for a chat with a cup of tea. But some people like to have the so-called «high tea» which may consist of ham or tongue and tomatoes and salad, or a keeper, or tinned salmon, or sausages with strong tea, bread and butter, then stewed fruit or a tin of pears, apricots or pineapple with cream and custard and pastries or a cake. In some houses dinner is the biggest meal of the day. Dinner time throughout in England is around 7 o’clock in the evening. But in great many English houses the midday meal is the chief one of the day while in the evening they have a much simpler supper – an omelette or sausages, sometimes bacon and eggs, or whatever they can afford. English cooking doesn't enjoy a good reputation. The vegetables always boiled are tasteless; and potatoes, which replace bread, appear at every meal. There is an endless variety of cakes. It’s useless to expect wine at every meal: all wine is imported and very expensive. But there is beer of all kinds worth tasting. Understanding British meals is one of the great mysteries to the foreign visitors. Over the centuries, the British have shown a tendency to name and rename their meals, and to move them about the day in an apparently random fashion. Further to confuse outsiders, we give different names to each meal depending on our social class and part of the country we live in. Breakfast, which was once taken at 5 o’clock in the morning, can now be at any time before 11.30. It has thus overtaken dinner. In Norman times - the 12th century - dinner was at 9 a m; by the 15th century it had moved to 11 a m; and today it can be eaten at any time between noon and 2.30 in the afternoon and is called lunch by a large proportion of the population, especially the middle and upper classes and people from southern Britain. Many farm labourers, however, who start work at sun-rise and have their breakfast before they go to work, still stop for a lunch break at about 9 o’clock. In the 14th century, supper was at 4 o’clock – which is now called tea-time. But outside the south-east of England, working families have tea or high tea at about 6 in the evening while the rest of their fellow-countrymen have dinner, which is often also called supper, at about 7.30 p m. Comprehension check Exercise 22. Answer the questions. 1) What are usual meals in Great Britain? 2) What’s the difference between British breakfast and continental one? 3) What do the Englishmen usually have for lunch? 4) What’s the intermediate meal between lunch and dinner? 5) What’s the most substantial meal of the day? 6) What is special about British cooking? How does it differ from the one in your country? 7) The author can’t make head or tail of British mealtimes. Can you? Exercise 23. Now you are going to decide whether the following statements are true or false. 1) The traditional British breakfast usually includes porridge. 2) British breakfast is usually much bigger than that on the continent. 3) The biggest meal of the day is lunch. 4) For lunch the Englishmen usually have different meat or fish with vegetables. 5) Dinner may be the chief meal of the day because of one’s way of life. 6) British cooking is quite different from that in Russia. 7) The name of the meal depends on one’s social class and the part of the country one leaves in. Exercise 24. Why do you think people eat out? How about you? Do you enjoy eating out? If you happen to eat out in Great Britain, you should know some helpful things. Try to find them in the text given. Before you read the text, make sure if you understand the following:
Text 2 EATING OUT / RECOMMENDING Eating out in restaurants makes life easier and more fun. To have a good experience in a restaurant, you must feel at ease. This country has a wide variety of restaurants offering many kinds of food. The rules and practices are different in different kinds of restaurants. If you know what to expect; you will feel more comfortable. Here are some of the things you can expect: Fast-food restaurants. In a fast-food restaurant, you walk up to a counter and order your food from a server/cashier. There may be a line - or several lines if there are several cashiers. Just stand at the end of the line and wait until it's your turn to order. You pay for your food when you order it. The server may give you your food right away, or he may give you an order number. If you get an order number, just step away from the counter and wait for your number to be called. Usually you must go back to the counter to get your food, but some fast-food restaurants bring it to your table. Your food will be on a tray, unless you ordered it to go. If you eat at the restaurant, it is good manners to throw away your trash when you are finished. Many fast-food restaurants have drive-in windows where you can order your food to go without leaving your car. Restaurants. When you first walk into some restaurants, you will find a sign that says «Please Wait to Be Seated». Just wait. Someone will come and lead you to a table. In many cities, restaurants offer smoking and non-smoking sections. The person who seats you may ask if you want smoking or nonsmoking. In other restaurants you can walk in and sit down at any table or booth you want. When you are seated, a waiter will come with a menu and ask what you want to drink. Be sure to notice signs around the restaurant advertising the daily specials, which are special low prices that day for certain meals. While the waiter gets your drinks, you can read the menu. If you have not decided what you want to eat when the waiter returns, ask for more time. If you want to know how a certain item is cooked or if you want special combinations not on the menu, ask the waiter. Usually, everyone at a table is served at the same time. An exception is when one person orders only an entree and another orders a full dinner. The dinner may have two parts: a salad or other appetizer served first and the entree served second. The person who ordered a full dinner would eat his or her salad while the other person waits. The both people would get their entree entrees at the same time. During your meal, your waiter should come by your table once or twice to ask if you need anything. If you need help during the meal and the waiter is not there, try to catch his eye by raising one hand slightly. The waiter should immediately come to your table. After you finish eating, the waiter should clear away the dirty dishes and ask if you want dessert. If you don't want dessert, then he should put your bill on the table. If you do want dessert, then he should put your bill on the table after he clears away your dessert dishes. You may stay and talk as long as you want, even after the waiter has left your bill on the table. However, if the restaurant is very busy and people are waiting for a table, it is polite to leave when you are finished eating. A waiter’s job is to serve you. You will pay for that service. When the meal is finished, you are expected to pay a tip for service. Standard tips are 15 to 20 percent of the total bill before tax. If the service is very bad, you may choose not to leave a tip or to leave only 10 percent. If the service is fine, leave about 15 percent. A 20 percent tip tells the waiter he did an excellent job. Tips do not need to be exact amounts. Leaving pennies in the tip is an insult to the waiter. If you pay your bill with a credit card, you may add the waiter's tip to the bill. If you pay cash put the tip on the table as you leave. The waiter will pick it up. Cafeterias. In a cafeteria, you will usually find a line of people waiting to choose their food. If so, then get in line behind them. You'll pick up a tray and silverware wrapped in a napkin before you come to the food. As you walk through the food line, tell the food servers what you want. They will put your choice on a dish and hand you the dish to put on your tray. The prices for all the food items are usually listed on a sign behind the food servers. At the end of the line, a checkout clerk will give you a bill. Most often, you then take your tray to a table and sit down to eat. Afterwards, you leave your duly dishes on the table and take the bill to a cashier. You must pay your bill to get out of the restaurant. You do not pay tips in a cafeteria. Most of them don't take checks or credit cards. Fancy restaurants. Food and drink at fancy restaurants are usually expensive. They offer the best in food and service. The decor is appealing. People dress up and make the meal a special event. For fancy restaurants, you must make a reservation. That means you must call ahead to say: a) what day or evening you are coming; b) how many people are coming; c) what time you are coming. The restaurant will save a table just for you. Table manners. Although rules regarding table manners are not very strict in Britain, it's considered rude to eat and drink noisily. At formal meals the cutlery is placed in the order in which it will be used, starting from the outside and working in. The dessert spoon and fork are usually laid at the top of your place setting, not at the side. After each course the knife and the fork should be laid side by side in the middle of the plate. This shows that you have finished and plate can be removed. If you leave the knife and fork apart, it will show that you have not yet finished eating. It is considered impolite to smoke between courses if your partner says otherwise. It is polite to ask permission before you smoke. Comprehension check Exercise 25. Answer the questions. 1) Where do the Englishmen usually eat if they are in a hurry/when they are driving? 2) What’s the difference between fast-food restaurants and cafeterias? 3) What is special about fancy restaurants? 4) What table manners should one observe if one eats out? What do you think? 1) Could you formulate 6 basic rules for the customers of fast-food restaurants?

Which of them if any do you consider acceptable only at home and which do you consider completely unacceptable? 1) helping yourself to food without asking permission; 2) starting to eat before everyone is served; 3) picking up food with your hands; 4) reading at table; 5) resting your elbows on the table; 6) leaving the table before other people have finished; 7) not thanking the cook; 8) wiping your plate clean with bread. Comprehension Exercise 30. Translate into English. 1. Черт побери! Какие здесь запахи! Так есть хочется!... Официант, обслужите нас, пожалуйста. — Минуточку, сэр... Итак, что вы будете заказывать? — Я думаю взять салат из помидоров и бутерброд с икрой для начала. Сто лет икры не ела. — А первое будем заказывать? — Конечно. Что у вас в меню? — Куриный суп-лапша, борщ и суп из фасоли. — А что бы вы порекомендовали? — Почему бы вам ни попробовать суп-лапшу? Он очень вкусный. Это наше фирменное блюдо... Что вы будете брать на второе? — Можно заказать жареного цыпленка с рисом? — Извините, цыплята кончились. Я могу предложить вам телячью отбивную со сложным гарниром. — Я думаю, я возьму телятину. Я на диете. — А я возьму эскалоп. Он очень нежный. — Какой эскалоп вы будете заказывать: с кровью, средней готовности или хорошо прожаренный? — Хорошо прожаренный с томатным соусом и перцем. С возрастом мне все больше нравятся острые блюда. — Хорошо... Что-нибудь выпить?... О, извините, минуточку. Я принесу вам карту вин. 2. Когда вы впервые придете в британский ресторан, подождите, пока к вам подойдет метрдотель и укажет вам ваш столик. В Британии не принято щелкать пальцами, чтобы привлечь внимание официанта. Просто поднимите слегка руку, и официант немедленно к вам подойдет. Когда вы будете делать заказ, не забудьте посмотреть на вывеску, рекламирующую фирменные блюда ресторана. Обычно, каждый, сидящий за столом, обслуживается в одно и то же время, за исключением тех случаев, когда один из посетителей заказал комплексный обед, а другие только закуски. Заказавший комплексный обед может приниматься за свой салат, в то время как другие должны ждать. Если вы закончили есть какое-либо блюдо, положите вилку и нож в тарелку. Это означает, что тарелку можно убирать. Никогда не ставьте локти на стол и не вытирайте тарелку хлебом. Это совершенно не принято. Когда вы закончили трапезу и оплачиваете свой счет, не забудьте о чаевых официанту. Обычно это составляет 15-20 % от общего счета. Давать официанту мелкие монеты считается оскорбительным.
