Obesity in children is, however,
increasing and the nation
is in denial
about the problem. Where else can you go
and hear a very
overweight person order
for themselves “A TRIPLE burger, LARGE
fries, a DOUBLE chocolate ice cream…
and a diet coke”?

Traditional food
in Britain
People in the UK usually have breakfast,
lunch and dinner at home. All our meals are
less formal than years ago. Most families try
to have at least one meal a day together, but
today members of a busy family may all eat
at different times. Snacking is very popular,
as is eating meals in front of the television.

Restaurants curiosities
Increasingly, restaurants in Britain
are non-smoking. From next summer,
all food outlets will be non-smoking,
including pubs.
Wine in restaurants is very expensive.
House wine is generally cheaper than
from a named bottle. Some restaurants
are following the Australian style and
say B.Y.O. (bring your own).
If you ask for water, it will be
straight
from the tap unless you say mineral
water. Tap water is safe to drink
everywhere in the UK and you should
not be charged for it.
“Waiter, waiter,
I’d like to pay…”
On special occasions people may go
out to dinner or supper to a restaurant
or a pub. Depending on the type of
restaurant, you can expect different
levels of service.
Some smaller food
outlets do not
allow payment by credit card. Always
check you have enough cash.
In expensive restaurants,
there
can be a service charge included
in the bill. Tipping added to the
bill
