British cooking is heavy, substantial and plain. The usual meals in
British are: breakfast, lunch or dinner, afternoon tea, high tea or supper.

In the morning an Britishman has his favorite breakfast of cornflakes
with milk and sugar or porridge followed by fried bacon and eggs. Breakfast is generally a bigger meal than they have on the toast and butter. Perhaps some fruit will also be eaten.

For a change one can have cold ham, or perhaps fish,
some coffee and a roll.

The usual midday meal consists of two courses – a meat
course accompanied by plenty of vegetables.

After it comes a sweet pudding or some stewed fruit.

Most Britishmen like what they called good plain food. Usually they
have beef steaks, chops, roast beef and fried fish and chips. They are not over fond of soup, remarking that it leaves them without free room for the more important meat course.

Afternoon tea one can hardly call a meal. This may mean
a cup of tea and a cake taken in the sitting-room or at work. For many Britishmen it is a social occasion when people often come in for a chat over their cup of tea.

But some people like to have the so-called “high tea” which
is quite a substantial meal. In a well-to-do family it will consist of ham, tomatoes and salad, or tinned salmon, and sausage, with strong tea, bread and butter, then stewed fruit, or a tin of pears, apricot or pineapple with cream and custard, and pasties, or a bun.

It is well-known that every national cuisine has got its famous
specialties. It isn't possible to imagine some holidays and celebrations without them. For example, Christmas pudding for British cuisine means very much. Some British people could dispense with turkey and goose, but a Christmas dinner in Britain without a traditional Christmas pudding would be strange indeed!
