II. Complete the open dialogue and learn it by heart

J.

B.

You are right. The English are very particular about their meals and strictly keep to their meal times.

J.

B.

On the contrary, Britain is a country where many people think that breakfast is a very rich meal.

J.

B.

As far as I know the usual English breakfast is porridge or cornflakes with milk or cream and sugar, bacon and eggs, marmalade with but­tered toast, rolls, tea or coffee.

J.

B.

I fully agree with you, for a change they can have a boiled egg, cold ham, or perhaps fish.

J.

B.

As far as I am concerned tea is taken at breakfast more often than coffee.

J.

B.

Some people, however, have just a cup of tea or coffee with a toast or something similar, a “continental breakfast”.

J.

B.

As a rule at lunch time they usually have cold meat and salad or fish often with potatoes or other vegetables, fish and chips, sausages and a sweet dish.

J.

B.

Generally speaking they like to have “a nice cup of tea” 6 or 8 times a day, sometimes even more.

J.

B.

As a rule from four to five the English have a very light meal called afternoon tea, but it can hardly be called a meal.

J.

B.

As far as I remember “high tea” is a meal taken between five and six if a dinner is not taken in the evening, it is usually a more substantial meal than afternoon tea.

J.

B.

To my mind dinner is the most substantial meal of the day. It is much like lunch and in many families it is the last meal of the day as it is usually eaten at seven o’clock.

J.

B.

I don't think so. The first course may be soup though, you are right, the English don't like it very much, and the main course will often be fish or meat, and a lot of vegetables.

J.

B.

The thing is that the most typical meat is the traditional roast beef of old England, pork or veal chops, or chicken.

J.

B.

I can’t agree with you. Most British fa­milies go to restaurants on spe­cial occasions, like birthdays, or wedding anniversaries.

J.

B.

I'm of the same opinion. British restaurants are not famous for their good food, but there is a variety of restaurants of all nationalities in London and in some other towns where you can choose food to your taste.
