πŸ“œ Reading: The Great British Menu

Welcome to the wonderful world of British food! If you visit the UK, you must start your day with a Full English breakfast (eggs, bacon, beans, and toast). For lunch, you might try a Chip Butty. This is a very simple sandwich made with hot chips (fries) inside buttered bread!

For dinner, the most famous meal is the Sunday Roast. It includes roast meat, potatoes, vegetables, and a special bread called a Yorkshire Pudding, all covered in hot brown Gravy. Another classic dish is Bangers and Mash (sausages and mashed potatoes).

Of course, British people love tea. We call a cup of tea a "Cuppa." We usually drink it with a Biscuit (cookie). If you are still hungry, you can have a dessert, which we simply call Pudding.
