Talk about eating out in Great Britain and Belarus
There’s no need to say, that modern life presents us with more and more changes than ever before. We change everything rapidly: our jobs and houses, our friends and even our spouses. And all these changes have certainly influenced our eating habits greatly. Gone those days when our grandmothers had to spend hours in a steamy kitchen among frying pans and saucepans cooking breakfast, dinner and supper (as soon as one meal was over the preparation of the next one had to be started). Fortunately, nowadays everything is much easier: there’s a great many of various cafes, coffee and snack bars, pizzerias and restaurants where one can have a meal at any time. No matter what country you are from, I’m absolutely convinced that the place for eating out generally depends on the occasion. For example, if one is going to have a date or to organize some family party (a wedding, a birthday or an anniversary) they are sure to go to a family-run restaurant which is usually quite and very nicely furnished. As a matter of fact, such restaurants are often located in a beautiful, picturesque place and they’re obviously much more expensive than cafes or confectioneries. As for the menu, it is normally rather extensive and there’s also a wide range of beverages in the wine list. In my view, a family-run restaurant is the best place to spend a nice and romantic evening with a friend or a spouse. Besides, if one organizes a party in a restaurant they don’t have to bother what to put on the menu, how to decorate their tiny flat and then accommodate 20 guests there. Moreover, there’s no need to waste time on cooking, laying the table and washing mountains of dirty crockery afterwards. Instead you can simply enjoy the party. On the other hand, if you are in a hurry, the most suitable place too have a meal is some kind of fast-food places. And everyone knows that the world leaders among them are McDonald’s and Burger palace. Actually, they are very alike: both of them have a limited menu--usually it includes a great variety of hamburgers, french fries, several types of ice-cream, milk-shakes and fizzy drinks, such as Coca-Cola or Fanta. As a rule fast-food places are very crowded, especially during lunch break, and sometimes you have to stand while eating. However, they give you an opportunity to have a quick snack as they situated in a convenient location. What is more, the service there is very fast, and in comparison with a family-run restaurant the prices are much lower. As for me, I occasionally drop in to McDonald’s or a pizzeria, but on the whole I’m not used to going out. Actually, I prefer to cook and eat at home. That’s probably because when I was younger I liked to watch my grandma cooking and sometimes to help her. So, I picked up a lot of cooking tips from her and now, being a student, I don’t have any problems with preparing dishes.
