Dear Alicia,
It’s great to hear about your
plan to visit England
next month. How many days
are you here for? Let’s meet
in London to go shopping and
have a meal together!
There are restaurants from all
over the world in
London: Chinese, Italian,
Indian, Brazilian and many
more. There are fast-food
restaurants, which are cheap
and quick, but they are not very
good for you. There are
also very healthy salad bars and
vegetarian restaurants.
English breakfasts are BIG! In
a full English breakfast
there are many things: eggs,
bacon, sausages, tomatoes,
mushrooms, beans and toast.
To drink, there’s tea,
coffee or juice. After that, you
aren’t hungry until
 the evening! For a smaller breakfast, people eat toast
and jam, cereals or fruit and yoghurt. Most people have
breakfast around 7:00-8:00am.
At around 12:00-1:00 pm, people have a quick lunch –
often a sandwich, a salad or some soup. Choose brown
bread and salad on the sandwich to make it healthy.
Dinner is usually at around 6:00-8:00 pm, though
people sometimes eat later in restaurants.
A very typical British dish is fish and chips, which
is delicious, but not very healthy.
Roast dinners with meat (chicken, beef or lamb), roast
potatoes (yummy!), vegetables and gravy is typical to
have for Sunday lunch. It’s very nutritious.
However, the most popular British meal of them all is
not actually British! It’s Chicken Tikka Masaala, a
tasty Indian dish with lots of spices. You must try it
– I love it!
Can’t wait to see you.
Martha.

b. What do people eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner?
