The evening meal is usually called tea, dinner or supper. A typical British meal for dinner is meat and two veg. We put hot brown gravy, (traditionally made from the juices of the roast meat, but more often today from a packet!) on the meat and usually the vegetables. One of the vegetables is almost always potatoes. Roast Beef Roast Gammon Gravy Gravy is a sauce made often from the juices that run naturally from meat or vegetables during cooking. It is very rarely consumed with seafood due to the meaty salt driven nature of the broth. Roast Chicken Traditional accompaniments to roast meats With beef: Horseradish sauce English mustard Yorkshire pudding Gravy With mutton and lamb Onion sauce Red-currant jelly Mint sauce Savoury herb pudding With pork Apple sauce Pease Pudding Roast apples Lamb Chops Fish Bangers and Mash Sausages English sausages are colloquially known as bangers. They are distinctive in that they are usually made from fresh meats and rarely smoked, dried, or strongly flavoured. Following the post World War II period, sausages tended to contain low-quality meat, fat, and rusk. However, there has been a backlash in recent years, with most butchers and supermarkets now selling premium varieties. What is a typical English Breakfast? Most people around the world seem to think a typical English breakfast consists of eggs, bacon, sausages, fried bread, mushrooms and baked beans all washed down with a cup of coffee. Now-a-days, however, a typical English breakfast is more likely to be a bowl of cereals, a slice of toast, orange juice and a cup of coffee. Many people, especially children, in England will eat a bowl of cereal. They are made with different grains such as corn, wheat, oats etc. In the winter many people will eat porridge or boiled oats.
