Visitors to Britain generally agree about one thing – British cooking. ‘It’s terrible!’ they say. ‘You can cook vegetables in so many interesting ways. But the British cook vegetables for too long, so they lose their taste.’ These visitors eat in the wrong places. The best British cooking is in good restaurants and hotels, or at home.

British tastes have changed a lot over the past twenty years. People prefer chicken and fresh fish. And more people are interested in healthy eating these days. The British have a ‘sweet tooth’. They love cakes, chocolates and sweets. Today many people want food to be quick and easy. When both parents are working, they cannot cook large meals in the evenings. ‘Ready-made’ meals from supermarkets and Marks and Spencer and ‘take-away’ meals from fast food restaurants are very popular. If you are feeling tired or lazy, you can even phone a local restaurant. They will bring the food to your house.

Twenty years ago, British people usually ate at home. They only went out for a meal at special times, like for somebody’s birthday. But today, many people eat out at least once a week. Pubs are very popular.

Weekend Activities

Many people in Britain are very proud of their houses and gardens. They want their homes and gardens to look nice. Every British town has one or more DIY[1] centres, like B&Q, and garden centres. They are like supermarkets for the home and garden. These places are very popular with British home-owners at weekends. DiY centres sell things like wood for making shelves. Garden centres sell plants for the garden and things for the home too. People enjoy doing work on their home and garden. It is cheaper than employing a builder or gardener. But money is not the only reason why DIY and garden centres are so popular. You can get very good ideas there too. And DIY and gardening are fun!
