English Meals Today.

In common with other West European countries the British diet has changed over the last twenty years. In general, people are responding to recent medical advice and are cutting down on fatty food, heavy puddings and stodgy cakes. Food such as pizza, pasta and baked potatoes are now commonly served in English homes in preference to heavy evening meals during the week. People are more prepared to experiment with different styles of cooking.

At breakfast time it is usual to expect cereal and toast or rolls with butter instead of the “traditional English breakfast”. This is because of health considerations, the time needed for preparation and the cost.

The main family meal of the week tends to be on Sunday lunch at which, typically, a roast joint of meat will be served with vegetables. You may also be served a pudding such as apple pie with cream. This is an occasion for the family to get together to talk and relax in a comfortable, friendly atmosphere.
