Traditional national English food seems boring. They say it’s unambitious.
What do you know about British cuisine? How much is it different from the
Ukrainian one? Which cuisine would you prefer and why?
British cuisine has long been categorized as bad; for its supposed poor food, lack
of imagination, stodgy puddings, and weak tea. With a history of wartime
rationing, industrialization, and now the domination of giant supermarkets, it is no
surprise that this false impression has developed.
But, like anywhere else in the world, there is both good and bad food throughout
England. The delusion that the countrys food is bad comes from the misconception
of what passes off for British food, not what British food actually is. You may
discover that many of England's current dishes are actually modern, well-
prepared, and quite delicious.
Everyone thinks that Brits only eat fish and chips and roast beef. Yes, the British
do eat some of this, but they also eat many other foods, including classic foods
which come with a long history. There are meats, cheeses, fruits, vegetables, dairy
products, bread, fresh fish, and seafood on the menus. The repertoire of British
food includes great puddings, pies, pastries, bread, soups, and stews. And who was
it that invented the sandwich and the afternoon tea? The Brits, of course.
All of this culminates together in a cuisine steeped in history with a strong food
heritage. British food is also diverse. It has encompassed and absorbed the food of
many other cultures.
In recent years, the need to know the provenance of our food has become an
important factor in choosing and cooking food—and Britain is no exception. The
explosion of cooking programs on TV, cooking apps, and celebrity chefs has also
raised the profile of British food and cooking.
British mealtime terms:

· Breakfast — also called brekkie, the same everywhere.
· Elevenses — morning coffee break.
· Lunch — in some areas it is called dinner. Sunday lunch is also often called
Sunday dinner, lunch in schools is also referred to as school dinner.
· Afternoon Tea — traditionally eaten around 3:00 or 4:00 p.m.
· Tea — eaten early evening and the main meal of the day (dinner), and is
considered a mainly northern working-class term.
 Dinner — eaten from early to late evening.upper — an evening meal and a
snack
before bedtime.
Yes, Britain today have a wide and varied cuisine, no more do they suffer under
the image of gray boiled meat! After years of disparagement by various countries
Britain now has an enviable culinary reputation. In fact, some of the great chefs
now come from Britain.
However, Britains culinary expertise is not new! In the past British cooking was
amongst the best in the world. Traditional British cuisine is substantial, yet simple
and wholesome.
UK food is ‘comfort food’: heartwarming, filling and satisfying. Here are some
typical foods and dishes from around the United Kingdom.
UK food but also English modern; cuisine is becoming more popular these days.
While most British people eat a lot of pasta, pizza and dishes influenced by Indian
and Chinese cultures - like curries and stir fries – some of the old favourites are
still on the menu, even if they’re not eaten every day.
Fish ‘n’ chips
Brits have been eating fish and chips since the 19th century. This is street food,
best eaten with the fingers, which used to be served wrapped in a piece of white
paper and newspaper. The fish, usually cod, haddock or plaice, is dipped in batter
and deep- fried; the chips are cut thicker than French fries and deep fried twice:
once to cook the potato; second to crisp up the outside. Eat sprinkled liberally with
salt and malt vinegar, and as an accompaniment perhaps a pickled egg or onion, a
giant pickled cucumber called a ‘wally’ or some curry sauce.
How much is it different from the Ukrainian one?
To begin with that Traditionally many Britons have started the day with something
called a 'full English Breakfast'. A typical modern breakfast comprises: fruit juice,
toast and jam, packet cereal and tea. Ukrainians always starts their
day from breakfast.
Usually,it’s
a cup of tea or coffee with some snack. Snack mean sandwich with cheese or harm.
That ones, who like sweets prefer biscuits, muffins or cereal with fruits and honey
to sandwiches. But some people like nutritious breakfasts, they eat sup or fry potat
o on breakfast usually. In some households and workplaces this is followed by
something called 'elevenses'. This consists of a cup of tea or coffee and some
biscuits. Actually 'elevenses' can be taken at anytime of the day, and with most
Britons this is usually fairly often! In Ukraine people have lunch, usually at 12
a.am. Lunch includes fruits or yoghurt. Children have nutrition lunch at school; the
y eat sup, fish or spaghetti.
Dinner' is the usual name for the main evening meal. It can be served anytime
between 6pm and 8pm and for most families is the biggest meal of the day.
In Ukraine people have dinner at
two. There are many various of meals. It can be borsch or sup, harnyr and dessert.
There are many traditional meals in Ukraine. One of the most likely traditional me
al is borsch. It’s
a kind of tomato sup, but it’s hot. This meal includes cabbage, meat ,beet root, pota
toes, carrots, tomatoes, and sometimes legumes. As a rule we eat borsch with pamp
ushki, Pampushki is soft garlic bread
Other traditional cookery masterpiece in
Ukraine are vareniki. Vareniki are kind of ravioli with different stuffing, for examp
le blueberries, raspberries, cherries, cabbage, mushrooms or meat.
Vareniki are very delicious and nutritious meal.
I think that eating habits in Ukraine and in England are very useful for their people.
It is hard for Ukrainian student to live and eat in English family ,but English like
Ukrainian borsch very much.
The food industry in Britain is now undergoing major changes. From a resurgence
of interest in organic food to the other extreme - genetically modified (GM) food.
GM food has so incensed the general public that there have been mass
demonstrations against it all over the country.
Topic 2
Tea has become an integral part of the British way of life, from the humble tea break to the
afternoon tea to be enjoyed. So what is the history behind the beloved beverage? And does
how you take your tea say something about who you are?
Another long-running tradition that the nation is famous for is the great British pub. A visit
to the pub is a must for anyone looking for the quintessential British cultural experience.
What makes the British pub so unique? And what can be done to curb the decline of the
traditional pub?
A Very Brief History of Teas in Britain and Ireland

Tea was first brought to Britain in the early 17th century by the East India Company. It was an
expensive product and one only for the rich and often kept under lock and key. Catherine of
Braganza, wife of Charles II introduced the ritual of drinking teas to the English Royal Court and
the habit adopted by the aristocracy. The first tea shop for ladies opened in 1717 by Thomas
Twining and slowly tea shops began to appear throughout England making the drinking of teas
available to everyone. The British further developed their love of teas during the years of the
British Empire in India.
Tea is the most popular drink in Britain, accounting for almost half the liquid consumed by
people in Britain; furthermore, the British are the world's biggest tea drinkers — having been so
ever since Thomas Garway became the first person to sell tea in London, in the year 1567.
Three hundred years ago, however, tea was a very expensive drink. Nevertheless, the great
British tradition of the "tea break" began very early on, as employees got into the habit of serving
tea to their workers in the middle of the day. As a social drink, tea was initially reserved for the
middle classes and the nobility, who could not afford it.
The ceremony of "afternoon tea", a snack of tea and sandwiches between lunch and dinner,
was invented by the Earl of Sandwich in the early eighteenth century; then the drink became
very popular with the Victorians, who preferred it to alcoholic beverages.
Today, tea is still extremely popular, since it can be drunk at mealtimes at any time of the day
Topic 3
Eating habits
In Western countries where consumers have access to a wide range of food
options there has been an enormous shift in food choices people make and eating
habits they develop. What factors define the complex and sometimes
contradictory nature of people's attitudes to food? How have our eating patterns
and diets changed? What measures should be taken to address diet-related
issues and encourage people to re-evaluate their eating behaviours?
