- Meal times and names:
Marmite by Malcolm Farmer |
- Large breakfasts. A proper traditional breakfast might include fried eggs, sausage, baked beans, bacon, toast, fried tomatoes, mushrooms, toast or fried bread ... and, of course, a cup of tea or coffee. However, nowadays, most people in Britain just have a simpler breakfast with cereal, toast, a cup of tea or coffee and some juice. A "nice cuppa" refers to a cup of tea.
- Many people will drink tea or coffee while having a meal, instead of drinking water. It might be difficult to imagine someone eating soup while drinking soup, but not from a Briton.
- Almost anything can be eaten on toast: beans, Marmite, egg, tomato, cheese...
- Tea is the national drink. It is drunk at all meals, any time of the day and any time of the year, not just for the meal called "tea".
- There are also some foods that may seem strange to foreigners:
- haggis
- Scotch eggs
- Toad in the hole
- black pudding
- Welsh rarebit
- Fish and chips. If you don't know what to eat any time, you may pop into a fish and chips shop and buy your dinner there.
