Exercise 2.7. Work in pairs. Develop healthy menus for the students of ENGECON and present them to your group.
Exercise 2.8. Study the information about British meals and main dishes. Answer the questions after it:
It is known that simplicity is the great strength of cooking in the British Isles. While cooks in other countries rely on garlic and spices to season their food, the British approach lets the ingredients speak for themselves. Above all, those traditional pillars of English cuisine, breakfast and high tea, are unbeaten anywhere in the world. The breakfast table is abundant. After a choice of cereals or fruit juices, there is a choice of fried eggs, ham and eggs, bacon and eggs, scrambled eggs with sausages and grilled tomatoes, fried kidneys or smoked fish as the famed kipper and the smoked haddock. In addition there is often porridge, oatmeal cooked in water and eaten with salt, sometimes covered with plenty of fresh cream, or stewed fruits, such as prunes, apricots or apples. Afterwards, you can have buttered toast with orange marmalade, jam or honey. To go with it all is the enormous pot of tea. ‘High tea’ as a British invention is fully felt in the countryside. The tea is served strong and drunk with milk and sugar. Piles of ham, cheese, cucumber, cold chicken and water-cress sandwiches accompany the meal. On the teatable there may also be an assortment of pies, apple pie, gooseberry tart for example, and fruitcake, muffins, buns or scones with jam and cream. The list of traditional main dishes is not very long. Both leg of lamb and cold mutton are among the usual meat courses, along with roast beef. Among the fish dishes, Dover sole has a fine reputation. And a very special treat is smoked Scottish salmon. One of the most popular dishes is called fish and chips. The fish is dipped first in flour, then in beaten egg, then breadcrumbs, and deep fried, it is served with chipped potatoes. The dish is often sprinkled with vinegar. Cod is the most common fish which is used for the dish.
