LISTENING TRACK 1
FOOD IN BRITAIN
Food in Britain has had a bad reputation abroad for a very long time. Visitors from foreign
countries complain about the meals they order in restaurants and cafs and the uninteresting
meals served at home for the family. However, the British dont see eating and food as being very
important. They tend to see food as a necessity and meals tend to be very short and often not in
family. However, nowadays there is a great variety in cultures and, therefore, food. The immigrant
population, from places such as Asia, the Caribbean, Mexico, France, Italy and Spain, has brought
new food and customs to Britain. There are now so many restaurants specialising in foreign
culinary traditions that it can be difficult to find one serving only typical British food.
At home, British eating habits depend, to some extent, on the economic situation of the
family. Fresh fruit and vegetables, fresh fish, meat and cheese are expensive, whereas potatoes,
lard and white bread are less so. Because of the climate in Britain, most fruit is imported and even
the meat and fish is imported from other countries. The historical relationship between Britain
and its ex-colonies means that the majority of fresh foods are bought abroad.
In the North of England the main diet was always based on meat, potatoes, pastry and fat
because the majority of the population worked in badly paid manual labour, factories and the
mines. Fish and Chips and other fried foods are cheap and an immediate source of energy and
calories.
Unlike Mediterranean cultures, the main meal in Britain tends to be eaten in the evening,
around 7pm. Depending on the region this meal is referred to as supper, dinner or tea. Lunch is
generally a quick, light meal eaten around 1pm although the traditional breakfast is large,
including fried sausages, tomatoes, eggs and beans. Part of this is due to the hours of work: there
is normally only an hour for lunch and as the working day finishes at 5pm, the evening meal is
eaten soon afterwards.
Possibly the most typical British meal is the Sunday Lunch. It is called a Roast and
consists of a roast joint of meat, roast potatoes and other boiled vegetables. Gravy is usually
included and in some cases Yorkshire Pudding is also served. However, this is not as common
as it used to be at home. Due to the hectic lifestyle, many British people tend to buy take-aways
or convenience foods including tinned or frozen, ready to cook meals.
With various food scandals (mad cow disease being the most famous), and a new
political awareness of animal rights, there has been an increase in the number of vegetarians over
the last few decades. Many people now want foods that are grown without the aid of chemicals,
in other words, organically grown cereals, fruit and vegetables. People also prefer their eggs to
be from free-range hens and their meat from free-range animals. Also, the increase in food
allergies or intolerance to such things as nuts, gluten, or milk are changing peoples eating habits.
Most of these preferences are all catered for in British restaurants and shops, from the everyday
supermarket to the more expensive health food stores, making it relatively easy for everyone to
be able to choose their own diet.
Este ejercicio es un Listening que debe servir para luego ampliar el tema. Primero, los
alumnos pueden escuchar el CD y junto con el profesor aclarar de qu se trata en lneas
generales. Despus, presenta las preguntas a los alumnos para que las contesten
mientras lo escuchen otras dos veces. Luego reparte las fotocopias de la pgina 2 y lean
el texto mientras escuchen el CD para luego comprobar las respuestas. Finalmente,
escuchen el CD una vez ms para que los alumnos puedan apreciar las respuestas
correctas.

LISTENING TRACK 6
FOOD IN BRITAIN
Many people in the world think that food in Britain isnt very good. This is partly
because many people in Britain dont see food as being very important and it is often
not eaten with the family. Also, fruit and vegetables, fresh fish, meat and cheese are
expensive and many people prefer to spend their money on other things. Another reason
is that because of the climate in Britain most food is imported from other countries.
Typically, a person in Britain eats a big breakfast, small lunch and a big supper or
dinner at about 7 Oclock in the evening, but because of work and the fast life that many
people have, this is not something that everyone does.
The typical British meal is the Sunday Lunch. It is called a Roast made with roast
meat (pork, beef or chicken), roast potatoes and a selection of vegetables. People often
use a sauce called gravy to accompany the food. However, many people dont have a
typical Sunday Lunch. Today, fast food, take-aways and microwave food is very common.
In Britain many people eat alternative food. Many people are allergic to nuts or
gluten or milk, and other people decide to be vegetarian or vegan. Because of the large
immigrant population, and because of peoples preferences, there is a variety of foods,
restaurants and shops which means that a person can choose their own diet very easily.
Roast - asado
Gravy - caldo o salsa para acompaar a la carne
Take-aways - comida para llevar
