Lunch is a light meal and is eaten at school or work at about 1 pm. Lunch takes 30 - 40 minutes. Some offices install a microwave oven for employees to use. Popular lunches are: a salad or a sandwich; a baked potato; beans on toast.

Dinner is usually the main meal of the day and consists of two courses - meat or fish and vegetables followed by a dessert or pudding. Convenience and frozen foods are especially popular. Convenience meals are already cooked - all you have to do is to heat them up in a microwave. Most supermarkets sell a range of pre-packed meals to be heated in a microwave.

Takeaways became extremely popular in the 1980s. The traditional British takeaway is fish and chips, eaten with salt and vinegar. Some give you a plastic fork. Most towns and cities now offer a wide range of takeaway meals, from American-style hamburgers to Turkish kebabs. Many families prefer to eat takeaway food for dinner instead of cooking.

 

The British are famous for their love of sweet things. Afternoon tea with sandwiches, scones, jam and several different kinds of cakes is a traditional custom. Since the 1970s eating habits in Britain have undergone a change. People started to eat less fat and more fibre. Fat is believed to be one of the major causes of obesity and heart disease. Forty per cent of adults in Britain are overweight. High-fibre foods and low-fat foods can now be found in all shops and supermarkets.
