3.In the UK we have many different names for mealtimes,including breakfast,brunch,elevenses,lunch,tea,dinner and supper.
Elevenses and tea are two British traditions.Elevenses is eaten at 11:00am,including cakes or biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee.Tea is normally taken between 4:30and 5:30pm.However,because people have busy lifestyles in Britain,we only eat three main meals each day-breakfast,lunch and dinner.A traditional English breakfast includes sausages,bacon,fried eggs,mushrooms,baked beans,fried tomatoes,and toast with butter.However,these days most people don't eat a traditional breakfast every day.This is because it is very unhealthy,and many people don't have time to cook.Most people eat a bowl of cereal with milk,or have a slice of toast with butter.Lunch is a quick meal because schoolchildren and people at work are busy.In fact,many parents give their children a"packed lunch"in a plastic lunchbox.There is usually a sandwich and a packet of crisps,a piece of fruit and a drink in it.However,on Sunday people usually have a larger lunch called"Sunday lunch".This is a time that people like to spend with their family.The lunch consists of(包括) roast meat,roast potatoes,Yorkshire pudding,and vegetables.Dinner is the main meal of the day,and a time for people to relax and enjoy a cooked meal with friends or family after a hard day at work."Going out for dinner"is a very popular kind of date,and some people see eating good food as very romantic.
