English and Czech meals
There is an English proverb, which says: "The way to man's heart is through his stomach." People in Britain and in the Czech Republic have different eating habits. Some English meals are similar to Czech meals, others are very different. The English people don't eat such bug meals as the Czechs. English eat more often in the day. They have five or six meals a day: breakfast, snack, lunch, tea, dinner and later perhaps supper. In the past the British cuisine didn't have very good reputation. But it has improved recently.
Czech food
The Czechs love food. The day begins with breakfast which consists of a cup of tea or cocoa, warm milk, black coffee and with something to eat. E.g. a roll or a one or two slices of bread with butter and some cheese, ham, boiled eggs, honey, marmalade or salami.
Dinner
The Czech midday meal is the main meal of the day. We can have it at home or in a canteen, dinning hall or in a restaurant. It is usually a three course meal, which consists of soup, a main course and a desert. As for soup we can choose beef soup, chicken soup, vegetable soup or some thick soup - potato, tomato, pease, mushrooms or tripe. The Czech menu often offers the favourite national dish - roast pork with dumplings or potato dumplings and cabbage, other typical dish is Vienna steak with potato salad or goulash with dumplings. We often eat a piece of fruit, a puding or a cake as a desert. After the dessert the Czechs often drink beer or some of the soft drinks.
Supper
The Czechs usually eat some cold meat, salami, ham, eggs, bread or rolls for dinner. Some people prefer a hot meal too. They may have pancakes, potato pancakes or pizza.
Typical Czech food
In the Czech cuisine there are’t lot sof kinds of the vegetarian food. It is known that our cuisine isn't very healthy. Roast pork with dumplings and cabbage is a typical Czech meal. Fruit dumplings with sugar and cottage cheese are also very popular. another common Czech food are: Vegetable sauce with dumplings, Spanish birds, meat loaf with potatoes or fried cheese.
British food
British like beginning the day with a cup of coffee or tea in the morning. The well known English breakfast starts with a glass of fruit juice and cornflakes with sugar or milk. This is followed by fried or grilled bacon and eggs, sausage and grilled tomatoes or spicy beans. But it isn't as common as it used to be. It is rather offered in hotels or restaurants. Nowadays a typical breakfast is a bowl of cereals a slice of toast, a glass of orange juice and a cup of tea or coffee.
In the middle of the morning they have elevenses which is usually not more than a cup of coffee and biscuits. In our country we have a snack during morning.
At about 4 o clock the teatime begins. It is a special occasion for the British and very important. The meal consists of a thin slice of bread with cheese or ham, perhaps some vegetables and also cakes, biscuits and jam. Nowadays lots of people don't eat much at teatime but they have at least one cup of coffee or tea.
Some people in Britain have their biggest and the main meal of the day in the evening. The hot dinner is served at about 7 o clock. It consists of soup then the main course which is followed by a dessert and finally cheese and biscuits. There isn't any traditional food for the evening meal.
Christmas
On some occasions such as Christmas some traditional meals are served. The most common meal for Christmas Eve in our country is a fish soup and a fried carp with potato salad. The British typical Christmas meal is roast turkey with chestnut stuffing, potatoes and the famous Christmas Pudding.
The British kitchen:
full breakfast – fried bacon, eggs, sausages (ham and eggs), toast, marmelade
lunch – not the main meal of the day, e.g. sandwich
dinner – a hot meal, usually with meat, sauce and vegetables
