British Food and Pub

I am keen on British breakfast which may contain such as sausages, bacon, kippers , black pudding, scrambled or fried or poached egg , mushrooms, fried tomatoes, baked beans, hash browns and toast. It is wonderful and nutritious. However, we always eat Chinese cake or bun with soya milk. It is very quick for cooking.







Sometimes I do not like British lunch, because potatos and beef are always provided in every meal. Nevertheless, Chinese lunch always offers many kinds of different vegetables and meat with rice which is really delicious and various.






In Britain, pubs are where many British people meet to talk and have a drink. The most common pub names in Britain are:

(1) The Crown – represents the king or queen. Many pubs are named after individual kings and queens (see examples below).
(2) The Red Lion – the pub name became popular after James the First ordered a red lion to be displayed outside all public places.
(3) Royal Oak – the king Charles the Second escaped the Roundheads (at the time of the English Civil War) by hiding in the branches of an oak tree.
(4) Swan – a heraldic symbol, used in the "coat of arms" of powerful families.
(5) White Hart – the white hart (stag) was the heraldic symbol of the king Richard the Second.
