**The different meals of the day**

Most Brits would agree that breakfast is the first meal of the day, but there are major disagreements about what the different meals are called. If you ask a Brit what dinner, lunch, tea, high tea, elevenses, brunch and supper is, you will probably get different answers based on where they are from and what social class they belong to. Another example is the pronunciation of the word "scones". In England, the food has been affected by internationalization, they eat food from many different countries, such as spaghetti and curry. In the daily diet, British food is not as dominant as it once was.

Generally speaking, the British breakfast is much larger than in most other countries. media type="custom" key="9104192" align="right" width="70" height="70" Many people like fried bacon and eggs with fried bread and maybe fried tomatoes or black pudding. Not everyone like to eat a so big breakfast so some choose the variant that we are a little more used to with a slice of bread with spread or some cold cuts,  cereal and maybe some coffee or tea on the side. In Scotland there are many who eat porridge, like oatmeal.

In many European countries it is common to have a longer break in the middle of the day where all family members come home from work and school to eat lunch together. This is not common in Great Britain because most people work and go to school far away from their home. Instead, Brits tend to have a bigger breakfast and eat lunch with classmates or colleagues. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%; line-height: 24px;">In England it is common to eat packed lunch, but at some workplaces and schools has a canteen where some choose to eat. <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%; line-height: 24px;"> A packed lunch is quite unlike what we're used to. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%; line-height: 24px;"> A common lunch in England may include some pieces of bread with spread or cold cuts, a packet of crisps, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%; line-height: 24px;"> an apple and something to drink, often this is a sweet drink with lots of sugar, such as a Coca Cola.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%; line-height: 24px;">Most are done at work around 17:30, so they do not usually eat dinner before kl.18:30-20: 00. <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: black; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">The most common dinner consists of meat and vegetables. <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: black; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">Certainly two different types of cooked vegetables, where one of them usually always is potato. <span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">Then they usually have "gravy" made from the juice that is left over after the meat was cooked. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%; line-height: 24px;">Sunday is the day off for most people, so this day they often eat a good English Sunday lunch. For example, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding.
