An Englishman’s idea of a good breakfast is the following: porridge with milk and sugar,bacon and eggs or fish, hot buttered toast with jam or marmalade, and a cup of coffee or strong tea with milk.

Between twelve and one o’clock they have a light meal called lunch. It may consist of cold meat or fish, a meat pie or a salad. The third meal of the day is tea, which they have before five. Sandwiches, cake and biscuits may be served at this meal. Dinner is at seven. This is usually a heavy meal consisting of soup, roast beef and vegetables. Pie and pudding are served at dinner. Some people have an early dinner and then the evening meal is called supper. Everywhere it is the custom to have meals at regular hours.

English people drink a lot of tea. Some English people have tea for breakfast, tea in the middle of the morning, tea after dinner, tea in the middle of the afternoon, tea at tea-time and tea with supper.

At work they take five or ten minutes in the middle of the morning and the afternoon to have a cup of tea.

At tea-time they have one, two or more cups of tea, bread and butter, or cakes.

Some English families have “high tea” and no supper. For “high tea” they may have meat,bread and butter, cakes and, of course, a lot of tea. The English usually drink tea with sugar and milk.When you go to an English house for tea, the housewife always asks you, “How many lumps of sugar do you take in your tea?” The answer is “I take one lump (or two lumps) or sometimes: “I don’t take any sugar”. Tea with lemon in it is called “Russian tea” in England.

Englishmen always eat bread with their soup. With meat and vegetables they don’t eat any bread. Some Englishmen eat only one thin piece of bread at dinner.

Roy looked the picture of health. He talked of our common friends and the latest books, of theopera. His cordiality took my breath away. He lamented that we saw one another so seldom and toldme how much he liked me and what a high opinion he had of me. He asked me about the book I waswriting. I asked him about the book he was writing. We ate the veal-and-ham pie and Roy told mehow he mixed a salad. We drank the hock and smacked appreciative lips. And I wondered when hewas coming to the point. It began to look as though luncheon would end without his finding theopportunity to say what he had in mind. I knew he was cautious. Perhaps he thought that this meeting,the first after so long a separation, had better be employed in establishing friendly relations.

Roy was at his club. He got up from a leather sofa and warmly greeted me. He led me up a

flight of heavily carpeted stairs. We entered the strangers’ dining room. A waiter handed up the billof fare. Beef, mutton and lamb, cold salmon, apple tart, gooseberry tart. As my eye travelled downthe list I sighed as I thought of the restaurants round the comer where there was French cooking, theclatter of life.

“1 can recommend the veal-and-ham pie”, said Roy.

“All right”.

“I’ll mix the salad myself’, he told the waiter in an off-hand and yet commanding way. “And

what about some asparagus to follow?”

“That would be very nice”.

“Asparagus for two and tell the chef to choose them himself. Now what would you like to

drink? What do you say to a bottle of hock?” When I had agreed to this he told the waiter to call thewine steward. I could not but admire the authoritative and yet perfectly polite manner in which hegave his orders. The wine steward came in with the wine list in his hand.

“Hullo, Armstrong, we want some of the Liebfraumilch, the 21”.

“Very good, sir”.

“Well, chill it, Armstrong; not too much, you know, but just right. I want my guest to see thatwe know what’s what here.” He turned to me.

“I hope you don’t mind coming here. It’s quiet and we can have a good talk. It’s ages we did”.

A diet of more bread, potatoes and fruit, with less sugar, alcohol and salt, could leave Britain a trimmer nation at less risk of heart attacks, gut cancers and tooth decay, says a government booklet “Eating for Health” out a few months ago.

In the years since the war, machines and motor cars have cut the amount of walking and working, and effort put into life.

Modern men and women must come to terms with their stone age bodies and learn to eat a healthy diet if they want to live longer and stay slimmer.

 In the years since the war, machines and motor cars have cut the amount of walking and working, and effort put into life.

But the energy intake of food stayed the same. Alcohol consumption has doubled since the 1950s. Amounts of fatty food, including cakes, pastries, margarine, butter and cream eaten have also risen. At the same time, evidence that high fat diets may be linked to heart disease, a series of ills from coronaries to diabetes has emerged.

The booklet sets out 10 suggestions starting with encouragement of breast feeding babies. A sweet tooth should not be encouraged in the young, while vitamin D might be needed in winter during the years of rapid growth.

Old people, the booklet says, may also need such supplements.
