    What will you eat for lunch today? In some countries, lunchtime often means soup time! There are many kinds of soups served around the world. Some are as thin and clear as water. Some are as thick as stews. Others are full of noodles!

    Soup is just one thing that can be eaten for lunch. What you eat for lunch may be different from the lunch of someone who lives in another country. Let's take a look around the world to see what kids are eating for lunch.

    Mexico

    Many children in Mexico eat tortillas (玉米饼) for lunch. Most tortillas are made from ground corn, but sometimes wheat is used. Tortillas are usually flat and round, but they can also be made into other shapes. Taco (煎玉米卷) shells are made from corn tortillas and filled with beans or meat. Tasty sauces, called salsas (调味汁),are often added' to tacos. These sauces are made from tomatoes, onions hot peppers and spices.

    Russia

    Winters in Russia are very cold. Maybe that's why many Russian children have soup for lunch. Two of their favourites are cabbage soup and beef soup.

    Many Russian soups also include potatoes. Potatoes are an important crop in Russia. They make soups thick. Eating thick soups can help keep people warm and can fill them up, so hunger is no problem!

    The ROK

Meals in the ROK are made up of many dishes. No matter what else is served, there is always rice. Kimchi is also always on the table. Kimchi is pickled (腌制的) meat or vegetables. The children of the ROKmixtogether many dishes and flavours at meals. It's common for their food to be hot and spicy.

    Thailand

    Lunch in Thailand often includes noodles. There are many ways to serve noodles. One popular dish is made with thin rice noodles, tofu and shrimps ( 虾). Another favourite way to eat rice noodles is with meat, vegetables and thick gravy (肉汁).

Afternoon Tea

    The warm weather may look perfect for outdoor exercise. But for those who are not that sporty, what could be nicer than having a relaxing afternoon tea with a few good friends and taking a break from working?

    The concept (概念) of "afternoon tea" first appeared in the UK in the mid-19th century. It was introduced to England by Anna Maria Russell, the seventh Duchess of Bedford. The evening meal in her household was normally served fashionably late at 8 p. m., but she felt hungry at 4 p. m. every day ,so she started asking for a tea tray with: butter, bread and cakes at that time. Several days later, she found her new habit difficult to break and soon invited her friends to join her. This pause (间歇) for teal quickly became a fashionable social event. During the 1880s, the upper-class ladies would even change into long dress, gloves and hats for their afternoon tea.

    Traditional afternoon tea is a small meal which is normally served from 4 p. m.to6 p.m. once a day. It uses a three- tiered serving tray. The trays carry a variety of foods, such as finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with cream and fruit jam, cakes and pastries. Of course, tea or coffee, served with milk and sugar, is also provided.

    Traditional afternoon tea is a dainty (讲究的) meal. Therefore, the order of enjoying the food is from the bottom to the top and from salty to sweet. Sandwiches are eaten first, followed by scones, then sweet snacks like cakes and pastries. When drinking the tea, people taste slowly rather than "glugging" it down. It's also a social activity. As you can see the scene in the TV play- Downton Abbey , ladies wear pretty clothing, men are dressed neatly and the waiters are well trained and polite.

    Nowadays, you can enjoy a traditional fancy afternoon tea in many restaurants and hotels. It is also enjoyed to celebrate a special event such as a birthday, a pre-wedding or a baby shower party with a group of friends. So far, afternoon tea activities have become far beyond friends getting together and eating. It has been a part of the traditional culture as well as a fashion for the British.
