What do the english eat? one's daily diet depends (probably as everywhere) on taste, income and pattern of everyday 1ife. for breakfast, someone dashing off to work will grab а cup of tea or coffee and a piece of toast and marmalade, or not even that, and buy а coffee and croissant en route! but at weekends, when there is more time, they might on saturday or sunday have the "great british breakfast" (which is now marketed everywhere in cafes as "all day breakfast" -very popular with tourists). this consists of fried bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, sausage, baked beans and fried bread: this food is ironically known as "heart-attack specials" — but if one goes away to stay in а bed-and- breakfast place or hotel, you have it all the same! anyone health - conscious may have cereal, е. g. muesli, fruit juice and perhaps а piece of toast and marmalade. at weekends, i may have scrambled eggs on toast, with grilled bacon, coffee. lunch for me would be а sandwich with brown, wholemeal bread, а banana, occasionally soup аnd/оr fruit juice — most people eat their main meal in the evenings, because of work, and for preference. again main dinners -- anything! traditional english food is fish and chips with peas, steak and kidney pie, sausage and mashed potatoes; but people also eat indian or chinese food, pasta with a meat or vegetable sauce, with the usual mediterranean herbs, such as basil, oregano, plus olives, pesto sauce, sprinkled with parmesan cheese. as for eating out - income determines this. as i am on pension, it is usually indian or chinese, and there is a cheap polish restaurant near my place - this would be once a month, and i may also get in a takeway (you phone the restaurant and they deliver - usually indian) once or twice a month. however if you are young on a high income, you may have to pay 100-150 for two in the modern european, mediterranean or even some up-market indian restaurant (compare the ones we go to - 30-40 for two).​
