FOOD AND DRINK

The British have a poor reputation for food. Food in restaurants is badly presented. But the beat British food is generally found in people’s homes.

British cooking

Certain foods are considered essential to traditional British cooking and form the basis of most meals. These include: bread, pastry,potatoes, especially chips, and daily products such as milk, cheese and eggs.

They are an important part of the traditional meal of meat and two veg. Because of the increased cost of meat and various heath scares, many people now eat less meat.After the main course, many families often eat a pudding- traditonally sponge or pastry cooked with jam or fruit, usually served hot with custard, or now yogurt, fresh fruit or ice cream.

Since 1970s, British people have become more adventurous in what they eat and often cook foreign dishes. Rice, pasta and noodles are regularly eaten instead of potatoes.

Supermakets offer an expanding range of foreign foods, including many convenient foods. People’s interest in trying new recipes is encouraged.

Food and heathIn Britain, the government regularly gives advice about healthy eating. The main aim is to reduce the amount of fatty foods and sugar people eat, and to encourages them to eat more fruits and vegetables. People are also concerned about chemicals srayed onto crops. Supermarkets sell organic produce, but few people are prepared to pay the higher prices for this.
