BREAKFAST
8 a.m.
cereal with milk, fried eggs and bacon, toast and marmalade, and a cup of tea or coffee, generally with milk and sugar
The English usually like to face the day with sth substantial in their stomachs, as it helps to study the nerves and keep them calm.
SNACK
11 a.m.
a cup of tea or coffee and
a sandwich
usually taken during a ten or fifteen minute break at work
LUNCH
1 p.m.
soup, meat, vegetables and dessert
The main meal of the day is called dinner, which means that if lunch is the main meal of the day, then it can be called dinner instead of lunch.
TEA
4 p.m.
a cup of tea and a piece of cake or sandwich
taken during a ten or fifteen minute break at work, or by a housewife together with her friends
DINNER

most other people
SUPPER
10 to 11p.m.
the same kind of food as at dinner, sth like cheese, biscuits and a hot drink of chocolate
Not many people take supper, as they don’t like to go to bed on a full stomach.
Most English people only eat three times a day, and then these three meals are not usually very big. If they do eat more than three times a day, the meals they have are usually very light.
