Food
One of the most important things in our life is eating. Human organism can live without a food only a few days, that's why we like eating and why we eat. People are herbicarnivorous, which means that we can eat almost everything, but some “crazy” people eat only fruits and vegetables, we call them vegetarians. It is a way to protest against killing animals, but my opinion is that we need substances from animals and it is normal to eat animal meat and other products. I read in clever book that in English there is no expression for “dobrou chuť”.
What is my typical day, what I am eating whole day? When I wake up, I have breakfast, my typical breakfast is bread or roll with something on it, like salami, cheese, jam and a cup of tea. Only when I am really tired, for example after some overnight party, I drink coffee, it helps me to wake up. Then around 10 o'clock I eat my snack. When I am in school, I sometimes visit our school canteen, where you can buy something for eat and drink. It has only a small problem; a lot of people forget their snacks at home and this the purpose of a huge queue in school canteen. This leads to queue jumping, it is really funny when you are standing whole break on one place. Then comes lunch and the situation is same. The queue is not moving and you can spend in it many hours. Solution is simple, jump the queue too. Here is a small tutorial, go for trays, then go back and shout: “Look-out! Carrying trays!” Are you in front, I think yes. I didn't say anything about the meal quality. The company, which cooks for us is called Manoli, remember that name. I don't think that the meals are really disgusting, but sometimes we have problems with eating it. When I came back from school, at 3 o'clock, I eat another snack. The last meal I eat, except for chips in front of TV, is the dinner. It is some soup or some warm meal, because my mother is so nice, that she cooks every day.
But British people have different eating habits. British people have five or six meals a day. They like to eat slowly and drink their cup of tea or coffee. The breakfast starts with cereals, cornflakes or porridge, then comes well known grilled bacon and eggs and sausages. But it is no time to do this kind of dinner everyday; usually you can see typical English breakfast at weekends or in restaurants. Normal breakfast consists of juice, cornflakes, toast with marmalade. Than come elevenses, the name comes from eleven, because it means morning snack, usually at 11 o'clock. The light meal in the middle of the day is called lunch, but it is not lunch as we know from our country, they prefer just sandwiches, soups, pizzas and a desert. Lunch is not the main meal of the day. The last meal before the main meal of the day is tea. Teatime comes around 4 o'clock. It's a kind of snack. Finally the main meal, the dinner, which is served around 7 o'clock and it consists of soup or some other starter, then the main course, usually meat or fish with vegetables, which is followed by a dessert. Later in the evening, they consume biscuits, cakes, drink tea. In Czech only few people prefer hot dinner, often we just have rolls or bread with cheese, marmalade, salami and some vegetables.
When we can't cook, we can go to a pub. We can decide between two types, fast-foods and traditional restaurants. Fast-foods like Mc'Donald or KFC, has big advantage, because it's fast and it doesn't matter in which country you eat, because round the world you get the same meal. A traditional restaurant is a restaurant, where you call the waiter; choose from a menu, then wait… We can find different types of pubs, for example specialized on national cuisine.
I like cooking, I can cook a lot of meals, but what I like more is eating the ready meal.
