Three meals a day in Britain and English afternoon tea
Some people say that there is no food in Britain, but in fact, the traditional food in Britain is not as bad as the rumor says, because British food is a comprehensive cuisine like Shanghai's local cuisine, and it is the characteristic of British food to absorb foreign food and improve it. Let me introduce three meals a day and English afternoon tea to you. Three meals a day in Britain are very different from those in China. Usually, English breakfast is very rich. A breakfast includes bacon, black pudding, fried eggs, bread, tomatoes and tea. And lunch is mainly a simple sandwich or fried potatoes. The most sumptuous thing is dinner, which is similar to that in China. Families sit around and communicate, usually appetizers: drinks, wine or fruit; Soup: sometimes add butter and bread when drinking soup; Main course: fish, meat and vegetables, as well as potatoes and rice; After-dinner food: including snacks, fruits and ice cream?

The gentleman's plot in Britain is completely reflected. Many new Chinese immigrants usually ignore this point when attending some British parties. Usually, when attending banquets, men should wear formal clothes, while women mainly wear dresses or dresses. In addition, British people only propose a toast on very formal or special occasions. On these occasions, toasts are usually accompanied by a short speech.

When it comes to British cuisine, we can't help but mention English afternoon tea, which is probably the most characteristic food culture in Britain. The origin of afternoon tea comes from Britain. In the 198s, ladies in high society would come to the lounge to have afternoon tea in robes, gloves and hats between 4 pm and 5 pm. Nowadays, afternoon tea in Britain tends to be more life-oriented and casual. You can have a cup at any time, and the most important thing is to enjoy a moment of peace. Today, some afternoon tea etiquette is still essential, such as not talking about sensitive topics such as politics and religion, not putting tea spoons in cups, not adding sugar to tea, and pouring milk before tea.

And in order to truly integrate into British society, afternoon tea is an indispensable social way. When new students study in Britain, they are usually advised to make some afternoon tea and invite some new friends to taste it. Because of the immigration supervision requirements of British immigrants, Chinese immigrants usually choose to let their wives be the main applicants, while their husbands continue to develop their own careers in China. This has several advantages. First, because the British investment immigration project recognizes that couples have property, either husband or wife can be the main applicants. Another reason why many families immigrate to the UK is that their children can enjoy international leading education, and wives are more convenient to take care of. However, when a wife lives in Britain, it will inevitably involve making friends and language barriers, and afternoon tea undoubtedly provides them with a suitable place and way of communication. Therefore, when new Chinese immigrants log in to Britain, we will advise them to invite some neighbors or friends they met at school to their homes for afternoon tea to expand their social life.
