Leonie: Hi! In this programme we look at British food. Most people know about roast beef, bacon and eggs, fish and chips. But what do the British really eat?
It's early morning in Britain. Milkmen bring milk to people's houses. Usually before breakfast. This is the Robinson family at breakfast. And this is the usual breakfast - milk and cereal, toast with jam or marmalade, fruit juice, tea or coffee. Mr Robinson prefers this - the traditional English breakfast - bacon,
egg, sausage, tomato and fried bread. But people don't eat it very often now.

Excuse me! Sorry! Mmm! Wonderful! Only four hours to lunch. Lunch is at about twelve or one o'clock. At lunchtime people usually only have a break of an hour. So they often just have a sandwich or a snack.
In some shops they sell an amazing number of different sandwiches. Most people buy their food from
supermarkets. Fresh food and convenience food. You don't prepare convenience food. You just put it in the oven or the microwave- even the traditional roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. The Robinsons usually prepare their own food.

Most people have their main meal in the evening. And dinner - the evening meal - is usually at about six or seven o'clock. People have meat or fish and vegetables. Pizza and pasta are popular, too.

But people don't just eat at home. They also go out. And they don't always eat British food. Britain has a lot of foreign restaurants, and British people like food from all over the world. London has restaurants from over forty-two different countries. Chinese and Indian restaurants are very popular, and so are Thai and Italian.

But what do British teenagers really like or not like?

Speaker 1: I really like ice-cream.

Speaker 2: I like chips and cheeseburgers.

Speaker 3: I hate cauliflower.

Speaker 2: I hate sausages.

Speaker 4: I love chocolate.

Speaker 1: I like bacon, but I don't like onions.

Speaker 4: I don't like pasta and vegetables.

Speaker 3: I'm a vegetarian so I don't eat any meat or fish.

Speaker 5: I like salad because I'm a vegetarian.

Speaker 6: I especially like pasta with loads of cheese on top.

Leonie: The British also go out to eat traditional food - like fish and chips. And it isn't expensive.
