Второй завтрак, ланч или обед многие англичане проводят в ресторанах, поскольку идти на обеденный перерыв домой не принято. Он может включать в себя мясо или рыбу, салаты, картофель, фруктовый пудинг на десерт.
В качестве первых блюд, которые вообще-то в Англии не очень распространены, рассматриваются супы-пюре и бульоны, однако, чаще их все же переносят на вечерний прием пищи.
Также популярными во время ланча считаются закрытые бутерброды или сандвичи с паштетом, бужениной, ветчиной, рыбой и другими ингредиентами.
Напитками во время обеда могут быть традиционный чай или соки. Даже в будний день во время ланча некоторые англичане пьют бочковое пиво – портер или черный эль.
Lunch, lunch or dinner, many Englishmen spend in restaurants, because going home for lunch is not accepted. It can include meat or fish, salads, potatoes, fruit pudding for dessert.
As first courses, which are generally not very common in England, mashed soups and broths are considered, however, more often they are transferred to evening meals.
Also popular during lunch are closed sandwiches or sandwiches with pate, cold boiled pork, ham, fish and other ingredients.
Drinks at lunch can be traditional tea or juices. Even on a weekday during lunchtime, some Englishmen drink draft beer - porter or black ale.
When John (0) saw the large crowd which (23) had gathered in the street, he wasn’t sure at first what (24) had happened. There were so many people blocking the entrance to the hotel, that he (25) had to push his way through them to get to the door.
At the door he (26) found two policemen who (27) were trying to hold the crowd back.
‘What on earth (28) is going on?’ he asked them. Then John noticed that some of the crowd (29) were holding placards which read, ‘We (30) love you, Sally.’ Of course, that was it. Sally Good was a footballer, the first woman to play for England.
Although John wasn’t really interested in sport he (31) decided he (32) would join the crowd and wait until she (33) appeared. About ten minutes later, a smiling woman appeared and waved to the crowd. John (34) was taken completely by surprise when she (35) took his arm and (36) said, ‘(37) Do you remember me? I (38) was the girl who (39) used to sit next to you at school.’
