|
In the morning Americans have a bowl of cereal or bacon, eggs, toasts with jelly and a cup of tea or coffee for breakfast. They also like pancakes with maple syrup.
At approximately 9: 30 a.m. those who work will have a coffee break. And then at noon most people break for lunch. Most offices, factories and stores allow employees time for this. During " lunch hour" which is from 12: 00 to 1: 00 p. m. All the city sidewalks are usually crowded with people – they look for a place to eat. A lot of them stop at small " fast food" places. The usual noon -time meal consists of something light, and quick to eat. It could range from a hot dog or hamburger from a restaurant or something they have packed in a brown bag. This is called " brown bagging it". Americans seldom eat large lunches and don't enjoy very many " sweets".
After work people often have dinner at about 5: 00 p. m. It is usually the largest meal of the day. It consists of milk, vegetables and some type of meat. Often dinner is served with potatoes. Americans also enjoy carrots, peas, spinach, beets, tomatoes, green beans, squash and many other types of vegetables. The meat could be chicken, turkey, beef or pork. Many Americans enjoy a salad with their dinner. They either have vegetables from a can or they buy them fresh from the supermarket. Americans seldom have dessert and if they do it is usually very light.
They seldom sit at the table and eat for very long; they " eat and run". But many people have different tastes and enjoy different foods.
