The Secret of British Diet
First, serve some soup before dinner.
The soup here is very thick, usually made of vegetables, and sometimes some meat is used. The most common soups are mushroom soup, tomato soup, garlic soup, potato soup, chicken soup, Scottish soup (soup made of vegetables and barley) and thick curry soup. Thick curry soup is a typical example of the transformation of foreign flavor into British food, made of vegetables and curry.
To cook vegetables, it often takes a long time to cook soup (about 60 minutes). Moreover, in order to strengthen the concentration of soup, it is fashionable to pour the cooked soup into the juicer and stir it. Potato is the most ideal material for thickening and thick soup, so it is also the most commonly used.
Traditional English home cooking is usually divided into three courses: the first course (usually soup), the main course and the dessert. According to the weight, the staple food is the biggest, so when people's pace of life is accelerated and their work is busy, they often only serve the staple food, leaving out the first dish or dessert.
Second, I like barbecue.
Fish and chips and roast beef are the most common staple foods. In addition, barbecue pies or baked fruit pies are also common. The method is to wrap the stewed meat and vegetables in thin dough and then put them in the oven to dry. English cooking often uses an oven.
There are all kinds of bakeries in the oven. Meat and vegetables are baked in the bakery with low fire to bring out the flavor of meat and vegetables. In my personal experience, English food can hardly be cooked without an oven. On some solemn occasions, the staple food is often barbecue, roast beef, roast pork, roast mutton or chicken.
Fish and seafood are rare.
There are few fish or seafood on the dining table of modern British families. It seems a bit strange to say, because most of Britain's territory is less than 60 kilometers away from the ocean, and seafood should be rich.
In fact, the reason is very simple. In the past, overfishing in British coastal waters greatly reduced the output of seafood, resulting in high prices. Many people wait until they go to the restaurant to eat seafood.
Relatively speaking, most ordinary people in Britain don't eat out casually like people in China, so they have less chance to eat seafood.
Fourth, I love sweets.
A common problem of English people is that they love sweets too much. Maybe it's because there are too many fat people here. English people like ice cream and other frozen sweets, as well as traditional desserts and sweet pies. They usually eat them with a lot of cream or custard.
According to the procedure, eating a complete three-course meal in Britain usually means eating salty or spicy food first, and then eating a dessert.
Of course, there are exceptions, and that is cheese. British people generally like to eat cheese, boiled and raw, and everyone comes. In many cases, after eating some desserts, a table will be set with various cheeses and biscuits, and the last course will be coffee, brandy or Bordeaux wine.
