Answers:

Breakfast 8.00 approx
Lunch 12.30 -1.00
Afternoon tea 4.00
Dinner 8.00pm

Breakfast - Porridge, Cerals, kippers, kedgeree, bacon & eggs, sausage, black puddings, mushrooms beans
Lunch - might be pasties, pies, soup or cold meats and salads
Tea - sandwiches, cakes, scones
Dinner - Roast meats and selection of vegetables, plenty of influences from the empire like curries. Also casseroles, farinacous dishes - with puddings to follow.

All of these still eaten - depending where you are - lots of continental dishes

Beverages - Coffee, Tea (of course) Sherry, (London) Gin & Tonic, most spirits esp whisky, Wine and Beer.

Due to foreign influence (not least the Norman Invasion) most of British cuisine is originally French (eg Yorkshire Puddings) - the best is simple high quality meat and vegetables - all cooked separately and served together.



Traditional dishes inc.: Fish and Chips, Beef Stew and Dumplings, Shepherd's Pie, Yorkshire Pudding, Apple Crumble, Bakewell Tart

However with the increase of immigration many foreign dishes are now consumed at lunch and dinner such as: Lasagne, Pizza, Curries - Korma was voted Britain's favourite dish

Favourite drinks are probably beer and spirits especially vodka
