Food in the UK

I interviewed Joe Kelly. He’s 14 and he lives in Exeter. He has toast or cereal for breakfast, and fruit juice. At lunchtime, he sometimes has sandwiches, or he eats in the school canteen. He has pizza or a burger. He usually has a snack when he gets home from school, for example a packet of crisps. For dinner he has pasta, or meat and vegetables, or fish.

Joe’s favourite meal is steak and chips. But not all British people eat meat. 10% of people in the UK are vegetarian.

Some popular meals in the UK are: curry (that’s Indian), spaghetti bolognese (that’s Italian), pizza (that’s Italian too), chilli con carne (that’s Mexican), and fish and chips (that’s English!).
