Слайд 2English Breakfast
Some people like to “go to work on an egg”.
But many more breakfast on cereal or cornflakes while others have toast with butter and marmalade.
A typical breakfast in a hotel includes bacon and eggs, sausage, mushrooms, baked beans and tea and toast. When porridge or fruit juice are offered as well, the meal is sometimes advertised as a “full English breakfast”.

Слайд 8English Sandwiches
The word “sandwich” comes from a man called John Montagu,
the Fourth Earl of Sandwich who lived in the 18th century in the English town of Sandwich. He liked to play games at the table for a long time without stopping for a meal and so his cook put some beef between two pieces of bread – and made the first sandwich.
Nowadays sandwiches are very popular in Britain. They are even brought in supermarkets. They are easy to take to school or work.
For lunch which begins at about 1 o`clock the English prefer sandwiches with different fillings.
