Traditions:
Eating a full English breakfast:
-British people eat things like cereal and toast for breakfast during the week and often with a cup of tea. At weekends however, lots of people choose to have something larger which we call a full English breakfast. It includes eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, baked beans, hash browns and some toast. They eat it with sauces such as tomato ketchup or brown sauce. It iss a good way to start the day or sometimes cure a hangover.
Best English breakfasts in London Eating a Sunday Roast:
-This is a meal which features roasted meat cooked in the oven - usually beef, chicken, pork or lamb. They eat the meat with roasted potatoes and vegetables. The 'sauce is called gravy, which is essential to a roast dinner. The yellow 'pancake' is known as Yorkshire puddings. They are made from the same ingredients as pancakes but again, cooked in the oven. We usually eat a roast dinner on a Sunday for lunch.
Eating turkey on Christmas Day:
-For many people, Christmas is turkey day. On 25th December, usually after church and before the Queen's speech, they sit down at the dinner table to enjoy a large roast dinner, but this time with a turkey not a chicken or piece of beef. Like a roast dinner, the meat is accompanied by vegetables, roasted potatoes, sausages, bacon and stuffing (balls of meat and herbs).
Saying sorry when you have not done anything wrong:
-If someone treads on your toe, they will probably say sorry for hurting you and you will also probably say sorry for being in the way. They say sorry to mean excuse me or sorry if they want to complain about something.
Putting the kettle on in a crisis:
-When something goes wrong they would say, 'put the kettle on,' which is another way of saying prepare a cup or pot of tea', and then complain about what has happened. For British people, a cup of tea can be very comforting; it is hot, so warms you up, contains caffeine, so wakes you up.
