A) If you go back to the time of Queen Elizabeth (1558–1603), people really knew how to eat and Chefs
used to travel round Europe to get new ideas and ingredients. It was also the time when British
explorers sailed all over the world. They brought home all sorts of exotic food: rice and tea from
China, spices from India, coffee from Arabia. In the Americas they found tomatoes, potatoes,
peanuts, pineapples, sugar and vanilla.
B) In the past, without cookbooks and TV programmes, women learnt from their mothers and spend
hours every day in the kitchen. But then, around the end of the 18th century, life in Britain changed
dramatically. The industrial revolution took families from farms in the country to the crowded cities.
Men and women worked long hours in the factories. So they had no longer time or energy to cook
properly at home. There was already an interest in fast food.
C) Every country seems to have a national cuisine and to be proud of it. So what is Britain famous for?
The sad truth is that most of the British gave up cooking a long time ago and started buying ready-
made meals from the shops. They love tins, tubes, packets and frozen food of all kinds. Of course,
convenience food is an international phenomenon, but it started earlier and has gone further in Britain
than in most countries.
D) It’s more than just a tradition – it is a way of life. Many people have tea first with breakfast, then at
mid-morning, with lunch, at tea-time (around 5 o’clock), with dinner, and finally just before bed. As a
nation, they get through 185 million cups per day! Most British use tea bags these days, but serious
tea lovers still go through an almost Japanese-style ceremony. The selection of tea is very personal.
E) The country has some excellent food: lamb from Wales, shellfish and salmon from Northern Ireland,
fresh fish from Scotland, cheeses from England and Wales. Unfortunately, good British food is difficult to
find. Only 2% of restaurants in London serve British food. There are many more Italian, Chinese and Indian
restaurants. You can have a good “British” meal without spending a lot of money by going to a pub (or
public houses) that you can see everywhere in Britain.
