* * *

- I'm thirsty. I'd love a cold drink.

- And I'm not. I had a drink at a cafe.

- Did you have anything to eat?

- No, І didn't have any food. I wasn't very hungry then. Besides I enjoy square meals. I didn't want to spoil my appetite by having a snack in a cafe.

- Are you hungry now?

- Hungry as a hunter.

- Would you care to have lunch at a restaurant?

- With pleasure.

* * *

- Here is a restaurant. I hope they serve good meals here.

- Won't it be too expensive?

- No, the prices here are quite reasonable. It won't be much more expensive than a cafeteria. There'll be fewer people and we'll have a better service. Besides, I see it has a li­cense.

- A license? What does it mean?

- It means they serve wine, cognac and so on but only at certain hours. And they won't serve you unless you're over 18.

- Well, we are much older than that.

* * *

Waiter: A table for two?

- Yes, please. By the window. And the menu, please.

- I don't think I'll have any soup. I'd rather have some vegetable salad to start with.

- Let's have some sliced cucumbers and tomatoes with sour-cream, as a starter.

- I don't mind. Then I'll have roast-beef with new potatoes and peas, jam tart and iced coffee.

- Same for me. There's nothing like a juicy piece of roast-beef, just slightly underdone.

Waiter: Shall I get you anything to drink?

- What do you say to a bottle of beer?

- No beer, thanks. I prefer a glass of mineral water or just a cup of tea.

- All right. A glass of mineral water and apple juice for me then. And iced coffee for two.

* * *

- It's 8 p. m. High time for supper.

- Well, I could do with a bite. I don't eat much in the eve­ning. Some light meal, perhaps.

- What do you usually have for supper?

- A cup of tea and a sandwich, or a glass of milk and a bis­cuit.

- I prefer something more substantial, say, a chop or steak and chips or cold meat with potatoes, or sausages, or an omelette with tea or coffee to follow.

- Then you should take a good stroll after supper. As an English saying goes, «After dinner sleep a while, after supper walk a mile».

* * *

- What would you like for dinner? Shall we dine table d'hote or a la carte?

- What have they got for table d'hote?

- Clear soup with chicken, steamed fish with mashed pota­toes and coffee.

- I don't care for fish. Let's see what they've got for a la carte.

- There's a great variety of dishes: boiled meat, beefsteak, rumpsteak, cutlets. There's poultry, too: chicken and goose. Which would you like?

- And what do they have for afters?

- Ice-cream, pastry, fresh fruit, jelly and tea.

- Then I'll have beefsteak with fried potatoes and an ice.

- As I'm hungry as a hunter, I could do with a square meal. I'll have a clear soup with a meat pie, a rumpsteak with stewed cabbage, a couple of cakes and tea with a slice of lemon.

- I'm thirsty, but I don't feel like drinking tea.

- Care for some lemonade?

- Yes, please.

MEALS IN BRITAIN

The names of meals in Great Britain are: breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper. Breakfast in the morning may be corn­flakes, taken with milk and sugar, bacon or ham with or without eggs, or some kind of fish. Toast of bread and butter with marmalade and a cup of tea or coffee is also a popular breakfast.

Some people just have toast, butter and cheese with tea or coffee for breakfast. English people usually drink tea with milk and this tea is called "English tea".

In the middle of the day people have different meals. It depends on their jobs and wages. It also depends on what part of the country they live in. People in the north have different tastes from those in the South. Their main cooked meal, whether it's at midday or in the evening, is called dinner. Those who have their dinner in the middle of the day have supper in the evening. Those who have dinner in the evening, have lunch in the middle of the day.

For dinner there's always a main dish, consisting usual­ly of meat or fish with potatoes and cooked vegetables. Lunch or supper is a lighter meal. Many families living in the north eat something like bread and butter with per­haps fried eggs or fried fish and tea in the evening.
