In many English homes, people eat four meals a day: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner.

People have breakfast at any time from seven to nine in the morning. They eat porridge, eggs or bread. English people drink tea or coffee at breakfast. Lunch comes at one o'clock. Afternoon tea is from four to five in the afternoon and dinner is at about half past seven. First, they have soup, and then they have meat or fish with vegetables. After that they eat some fruit, like bananas, apples, or oranges. But not all English people eat like that. Some of them have their dinner in the middle of the day. Their meals are breakfast, dinner, afternoon tea and supper and all these meals are very simple.
