Британская еда имеет плохую репутацию в Европе, обнако традиционная домашняя готовка так же хорошо, как и европейская кухня. Хорошим примером является традиционный британский воскресный обед, состоящий из жареной говядины, жареного картофеля и йоркширского пудинга. Британцы едят много мяса. Минеральная вода (хотя называется не mineral water, а sparkling water) не особо распространена. Самый популярный напиток подаваемый к еде - это чай. Британский завтрак состоит из кукурузные хлопьев с молоком, тоста с повидлом или медом и чаем. В полдень они принимают большую порцую еды. Примерно в 5 часов они пьют чай с хлебом и маслом и едят пирожные (или торты можно). В некоторых семьях полуденный прием пищи является главным за день. А вечером у них простой ужин из омлета или сосиски, иногда из беконом с яйцами.
