Breakfast

Some people have three meals a day, others have four. I usually have four meals.

My first meal is breakfast. I have it early in the morning before going to university. As a rule, I don’t feel hungry early in the morning, so I always have a light breakfast. I eat a sandwich with cheese or sausage, or scrambled eggs with a slice of bread and butter. After it I drink a cup of black coffee with a lot of sugar. I am fond of coffee and drink it every day.

My sister doesn’t like eggs and she usually has a sandwich or a couple of toasts and a cup of tea. But her favourite breakfast is a piece of cake or a fancy-cake left over from yesterday.

My mother usually has no breakfast at all. Sometimes she just drinks a cup of tea with milk and eats a spoonful of jam with a little slice of white bread.

My father likes to have a big breakfast. He usually eats something hot – a piece of roast meat or a cutlet with potatoes or macaroni. He drinks a cup of coffee without sugar: he doesn’t like sugar in his coffee.

Some people like porridge for breakfast. They say porridge is very healthy food, and we must begin our day with a plate of porridge.

The English usually have a big breakfast. The traditional English breakfast is a plate of porridge, bacon and eggs and a cup of tea with toast and jam or marmalade.

There are four members in our family, and on week days we have our breakfast at different times. My mother is the first to get up in the morning. She prepares breakfast for the family and wakes up my father. They have breakfast together when my sister and I are still asleep. We are the last to get up, and we have breakfast when father and mother are getting ready to leave home for work.

On Sunday, when everybody is at home, we have breakfast together. For our Sunday breakfast we have the same food as on week days: sandwiches with cheese or sausage, scrambled eggs or soft-boiled eggs. Sometimes we have cottage cheese and sour cream for breakfast. But our favourite Sunday breakfast is pancakes, which we eat with butter or sour cream, with jam or honey.

has no breakfast at all - совсем не завтракает

In the UK and Australia, fish and chips usually sell through independent restaurants, known as fish-and-chips shops.

Ex 15 Read and translate the following recipes of the dishes. Write recipes of the dishes which you can prepare.

French fries

Children will always eat French fries, even if everything looks strange to them. The triple-cooking ensures that they are crisp.

 

3 — 4 large old potatoes

Olive oil for frying (about 600 ml)

Salt

 

Wash, peel and slice the potatoes. Cut them into chips about the length and width of an index finger. Heat 3 cm of the oil. When it has a blue haze, put in as many of the French fries as the pan will hold.

Grilled pork chops

4 pork chops

salt and pepper

½ teaspoon rosemary

1 tablespoon oil

4 fresh or canned pineapple rings

4 bananas

 

Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper and rosemary, slash the skin and the fat of the pork at intervals to stop curling, or trim fat right off if preferred. Brushwith oil.

Preheat a ribbed grill or barbecue plate until very hot, brush with a little oil and place chops on top. Cook for 6 — 8 minu­tes on each side, turning several timesand brushing with oil. Or if you prefer, cook under a preheated grill for the same amount of time.

Brush the pineapple with oil and place with bananas still in their skins on the grill. Cook until golden on both sides.

Remove the chops and serve with the pineapple and bananas, peeled or with just a strip of skin taken from each. Good with soft bread roll and a salad. Serves 4.
