Some differences in English and Ukrainian eating habits
.
Traditionally many
Britons have started the day with something called a 'full English Breakfast'.
A typical modern breakfast comprises: fruit juice, toast and jam, packet cereal
(cornflakes or similar), and tea
Ukrainians always starts
their day from breakfast. Usually,
it’s a cup of tea or coffee
with some
snack. Snack
mean sandwich
with cheese
or harm.
That ones,
who like
sweets prefer
biscuits, muffins or
cereal with
fruits and
honey to
sandwiches. But some
people like
nutritious breakfasts, they
eat sup
or fry
potato on
breakfast usually.
.
In some households and workplaces this is followed by
something called 'elevenses'. This consists of a cup of tea or coffee and some
biscuits. Actually 'elevenses' can be taken at anytime of the day, and with
most Britons this is usually fairly often!
In Ukraine people
have lunch,
usually at
12 a.am. Lunch includes fruits
or yoghurt.
Children have nutrition
lunch at
school; they eat sup,
fish or
spaghetti.
Dinner' is the usual name for the main evening meal.
It can be served anytime between 6pm and 8pm and for most families is the
biggest meal of the day. What constitutes a typical dinner is discussed later
on this page.
In Ukraine people have
dinner at two. There are
many various
of meals.
It can
be borsch
or sup,
harnyr and
dessert. There are
many traditional
meals in
Ukraine. One of the most
likely traditional
meal is
borsch. It’s a kind of
tomato sup,
but it’s hot. This
meal includes
cabbage, meat (it’s pork
often), beet root, potatoes,
carrots, tomatoes, and
sometimes legumes. As
a rule we
eat borsch
with pampushki,
Pampushki is soft
garlic bread
Other traditional
cookery masterpiece
in Ukraine are vareniki. Vareniki
are kind
of ravioli
with different
stuffing, for example
blueberries, raspberries, cherries,
cabbage, mushrooms or
meat. . Vareniki
are very
delicious and nutritious
meal.
'Supper' is the final meal of the day in England, and
is usually something very light like a sandwich and a cup of tea. Nowadays this
meal is usually eaten in front of the television!
Before going to bed many Britons drink a drink made
from hot milk. Usually either plain boiled milk, chocolate, or
'Horlicks'/'Ovaltine' (two brand-name drinks made from Barley and Malt).
On Sundays people don't usually have to work so they
take the opportunity eat together with their family. Sunday lunch is usually
the best meal of the week and many of the meals which are considered typically
British are eaten for Sunday lunch. A typical meal might be eaten between
1pm and 2pm and include roast beef and yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes,
boiled vegetables, and gravy (meat sauce). However, many families now eat
less beef, so other roast meat is often eaten - lamb, pork, chicken, turkey or
duck. Some families will also follow the main meal with a desert such as 'apple
pie and custard'.
I think that eating habits in Ukraine and in England are very useful for their people .It is hard for
Ukrainian
student to live and eat in English family ,but English like Ukrainian borsch
very much.
