Food and drink in Modern Britain
These days a lot of British people love cooking. In modern British supermarkets you can find all
kinds of interesting international food. There are cookery programmes on TV every night, and some
chefs are popular TV stars. Tea is a very popular drink in Britain. Some people drink it with every
meal, and most people put milk in it!
And old British tradition is to have afternoon tea at about 4 oclock. Afternoon tea usually consists on
tea, sandwiches, and cake. These days British people do not have time for this meal, and most
people dont eat in the afternoon. But a lot of cafs in Britain still serve afternoon tea because people like to have it on
special occasions and when they are on holiday. Tourists love it, too!
In multicultural Britain today, you can find restaurants that serve food from all over the world. Even in very small towns you
can often find a Chinese, and Indian, or Italian restaurant, because these types of food are particularly popular. In big cities
you can also try Thai, Mexican and Japanese cookery, and in London you can probably try food from every country in the
world!

a.- What do British people usually add to tea?
b.- What time do they have tea as a tradition?
