Маленькое сочинение на тему: "Пища"

My Everyday MealsEvery person has his own idea of a perfect house.I usually have two or three meals a day on weekdays and four meals on my day off. I don't often have an opportunity to have a dinner when I'm at school. My meals are: breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper or tea.Some of my friends have a snack rather than a meal in the morning. But my breakfast is a full meal and I have it at 7 o'clock. It is usually bacon and eggs. Afterwards come sandwiches with butter and cheese or sausages, or sometimes jam. Then I drink tea or coffee.I have lunch at about 12 o'clock. It starts with fruit juice. Then I have a vegetable salad and sandwiches again or pies with tea.Dinner is at three or four o'clock. For dinner I have soup or borsch for starter, and meat or fish with a lot of vegetables for main course. For dessert I often have stewed fruit or jelly.And at last supper. It is at seven or eight. My mother usually cooks fried fish and mashed potatoes, beefsteak and omelette. And salads, of course. Then I prefer a glass of warm milk with biscuits. Sometimes before going to bed I drink orange juice or eat an apple.

In Search of Good English Food
by Verona Paul and Jason Winner
1. How come it is so difficult to find English food in England?
In Greece you eat Greek food, in France French food, in Italy
Italian food, but in England, in any High Street in the Land, it is
easier to find Indian and Chinese restaurants than English ones. In
London you can eat Thai, Portuguese, Turkish, Lebanese, Japanese,
Russian, Polish, Swiss, Swedish, Spanish, and Italian but where
are the English restaurants?
2. It is not only in restaurants that foreign dishes are replacing
traditional British food. In every supermarket, sales of pasta, pizza
and poppadoms are booming. Why has this happened? What is wrong
with the cooks of Britain that they prefer cooking pasta to potatoes?
Why do the British choose to eat lasagne instead of shepherds pie?
Why do they now like cooking in wine and olive oil? But perhaps it
is a good thing. After all, this is the end of the 20th century and we
can get ingredients from all over the world in just a few hours. Anyway,
wasnt English food always disgusting and tasteless? Wasnt it always
boiled to death and swimming in fat? The answer to these questions
is a resounding No, but to understand this, we have to go back to
before World War II.
3. The British have in fact always imported food from abroad.
From the time of the Roman invasion foreign trade was a major
influence on British cooking. English kitchens, like the English
language, absorbed ingredients from all over the world chickens,
rabbits, apples, and tea. All of these and more were successfully
incorporated into British dishes. Another important influence on British
cooking was of course the weather. The good old British rain gives us
rich soil and green grass, and means that we are able to produce some
of the finest varieties of meat, fruit and vegetables, which dont need
fancy sauces or complicated reci pes to disguise their taste.
4. However, World War II changed everything. Wartime women
had to forget 600 years of British cooking, learn to do without foreign
