In England, on weekdays, breakfast in most homes is often a hurried meal of milk, bread, juice and tea or coffee. Some people just stop at coffee shops for coffee. But at weekends, things are quite different. People often have a large breakfast with fried eggs, potatoes, bacon, sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms and toast.
Lunch is just a short break from the day's work and it is not a big meal. It usually lasts less than an hour because few people have more time to do it and some of them can also enjoy a nap (小睡). Most people have a sandwich or fruit for lunch. People either take their lunch to work or eat in a fast food restaurant.
Dinner is the most important meal of the day in England. At this meal, most families try to sit together. It is much bigger than lunch and is usually a hot meal with soup, a main course and sometimes dessert. The main course usually includes (包括) meat, vegetables and potatoes. It is a happy time for family members to sit around the dinner table and talk about the day's things.
