Years ago a Frenchman said that the only way to eat well in Britain was to eat breakfast three times a day . And let's be honest , most British food was terrible - overcooked vegetables , greasy sausages , boring sandwiches . For a lot of people eating was something you had to do to survive ; it was certainly not an enjoyable ehperience . But things have changed .........
- Food has become very important in Birtan . TV cooks are more famous than writers and their recipe books are bestsellers .
- More of us eat out regularly and we can get ehselent food in lots of different kinds of restaurants-French,Indian, Italian,Greek,Thai,Indonesian.............................even British.
- Traditional British pubs serve surprisingly good meals at good prices.
- British supermarkets are now full of exotic cooking ingredients ,sauces ,pasta,cheese,fruit,vegetables and a lot of another things .
- The British love all kinds of 'international' food. The mot popular is now piza and according to a resnt survey , 40% of British families have a curry for Sunday lunch , instead of traditional dishes like roast beef.
- We eat less meat and more fresh fruit and vegetables . A growing number of peaple are becoming vegatarians .Even children know about sugar-free swets. That is a good news . Unforunately ,there is also some bad news . As we work harder and have less time we are eating more and more fast food and doing less exercise. For lunch ,many of as have a hamburger or sandwich and when we come home in the evening we put our ready made dinner into the microwave before sitting down in front of the TV . Meals are no longer family occasions.
