Traditional food

My favourite British food is fish and chips but I don’t like that food which is for breakfast such as beans, sausages and bread because I used to have boil rice with vegetable or ‘steamed bread’ which is a kind of food makes of flour for my breakfast.
Food
Generally, the traditional British food quite differs from Chinese traditional food. For example, British food has traditionally been based on beef, lamb, pork, chicken and fish and generally served with potatoes and one other vegetable. The most common and typical foods eaten in Britain include the sandwiches, fish and chips, pies, like the Cornish pasty, trifile and roasts dinners. Some of their main dishes have strange names like Bubble and squeak and Toad-In-The-Hole. The staple foods of Britain are meat, fish, potatoes, flour, butter and eggs. Many of their dishes are based on these foods.
Some samples of the typical troditional British food :
1.Toad-in-the-Hole (sausages covered in batter and roasted.) Similar to Yorkshire pudding but with sausages placed in the batter before cooking.

2.Roast Meats ( cooked in the oven for about two hours)
Typical meats for roasting are joints of beef, pork, lamb or a whole chicken. More rarely duck, goose, gammon, turkey or game are eaten.

3.Fish and chips

However,it is well-known that Chinese foods are diversity because they are based on many different materials.There are so many traditional and special Chinese foods, according to the folk culture, district, religion, and festival. For the famous classes divided by district, there are style of Guangdong, Beijing, Shanghai, Sichuan, North-West, and so on…or by folk, there are kejia, Yunnan, Fujian, etc.

Drinks The traditional drinks in U.k. are coffee, tea and wine.
Firstly,Tea in Britain is traditionally brewed in a warmed china teapot, adding one spoonful of tea per person and one for the pot. Most British like strong and dark tea but with a lot of milk.
Secondly,Coffee is now as popular in Britain as tea is. People either drink it with milk or have it black and either have freshly- made coffee or instant coffee.


Thirdly,Bitter ,Britain is also well known for its ale which tends to be dark in appearance and heavier than lager.


Although tea culture is as strong as in the UK,people prefer to drink pure tea which is different from British people who prefer to drink tea with milk and sugar.Moreover,Chinese people also drink alcohol such as wine,beer,whereas the most famous traditional alcohol drinks in China is 'Shaojiu'.

Pubs in the UK

People talk, eat, drink, meet their friends and relax there.Some typical names are The Chequers, The White Swan, The Crown, The King's Arms, The Red Lion and The White Horse.Moreover, it is interesting that if a church has the name St. Mary's the nearest pub is traditionally called The Star.
