Английская пословица гласит: каждый повар хвалит свой собственный бульон (каждый кулик хвалит свое болото). Нельзя сказать, что английская кухня плохая, но в ней, по сравнению с европейской кухней, нет большого разнообразия. Англичане очень специфичны в своей пище. Обыкновенный английский прием пищи — это завтрак, второй завтрак (ланч), чай и обед.
Время завтрака — между семью и девятью утра. Традиционный английский завтрак — очень плотное блюдо. Он состоит из сока, овсянки, ломтика или двух бекона, яиц, тоста, масла, джема или мармелада, чая или кофе. Мармелад делается из апельсинов, джем — из других фруктов. Многие люди любят начать с овсянки с молоком или сливками и сахаром, но настоящий шотландец никогда не кладет сахар в овсянку. Шотландия — это родина овсянки. Для разнообразия, вы можете взять колбасу, помидоры, грибы, холодную ветчину и, возможно, рыбу.
Англичане очень любят чай, его можно назвать почти их национальным напитком. Чай приветствуется утром, днем и вечером. Англичане любят крепкий и свежеприготовленный чай.
По воскресеньям многие семьи собираются на традиционный завтрак, который состоит из жареного цыпленка, ягненка или говядины с салатом, овощей и соуса.
*перевод:
The English proverb says: every cook praises his own broth. One can not say English cookery is bad, but there is not a lot of variety in it in comparison with European cuisine. The English are very particular about their meals. The usual meals in England are breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner.
Breakfast time is between seven and nine a.m. A traditional English breakfast is a very big meal. It consists of juice, porridge, a rasher or two of bacon and eggs, toast, butter, jam or marmalade, tea or coffee. Marmalade is made from oranges and jam is made from other fruit. Many people like to begin with porridge with milk or cream and sugar, but no good Scotsman ever puts sugar on it, because Scotland is the home of porridge. For a change you can have sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, cold ham or perhaps fish.
Tea is very popular among the English; it may almost be called their national drink. Tea is welcome in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening. The English like it strong and fresh made.
On Sundays many families have a traditional lunch consisting of roast chicken, lamb or beef with salads, vegetables and gravy.
