Традиционный английский завтрак представляет собой очень большой прием пищи – сосисок, бекона, яиц, помидоров, грибов.. Но теперь многие просто завтракают хлопьями с молоком и сахаром или тостом с джемом, вареньем или медом. Джем и варенье – это не одно и то же! Джем изготавливается из апельсинов, а варенье – из других фруктов. Традиционный напиток на завтрак – это чай, который пьют с холодным молоком. Некоторые пьют кофе, часто растворимый, который просто заливается горячей водой. Многие гости Великобритании считают такой кофе отвратительным!  

Для многих людей ланч – это быстрый перекус. В городах много сендвич-баров, где офисные работники могут выбрать хлеб, который им нравится – черный, белый или булочку – а потом все виды салата и мяса или рыбы для сендвича. В пабах часто подают еду, дешевую, как горячую, так и холодную. Школьники могут поесть горячей еды в школе, но многие просто берут из дома закуски – сендвич, напиток, фрукты и, может, чипсы.

"Чай" обозначает две вещи. Это напиток и прием пищи! Некоторые устраивают послеполуденные чаепития с сендвичами, пирожными и, конечно, чашкой чая. Популярны Корнские чаи. Вы едите сконы (вид пирога) с кремом и вареньем.  

Вечерний прием пищи является главным для многих людей. Обычно он проходит рано, между 6 и 8 часами, и часто вся семья ест вместе.  

По воскресеньям многие семьи устраивают традиционный ланч. Они едят жареное мясо, говядину, ягнятину, курицу или свинину с помидорами, овощами и подливой. Это соус из мясных соков.
