Maybe the way people make tea has changed over the years but in this country of tea drinkers, many people still use the old Chinese word for tea and like nothing better than to have cup of cha or even just a good old cuppa.
Food and Drink in Britain is a book in the Oxford Bookworms series. It's in the Facfiles sub-series, the nonfiction counterpart of the Oxford Bookworms Library. It's a Stage 3 book. The book is divided into twelve chapters: Introduction, Changes in diet and shopping, Farming and fishing, Home-cooked food, Eating out and eating outside, Fast food, Potatoes: a staple food, A sweet tooth, Going for a drink, A nice cup of tea, How to make Shepherd's Pie, How to make Scones. These twelve chapters are followed by a map and as with other Facfiles books, some exercises and a glossary.
The book as a whole has 27 pages, and each chapter comprises about 2 pages. The language, as one would expect with a Stage 3 book, is pretty simple. For example, the 10 sentences on page 1 have the following lengths (number of words): 16, 16, 21, 13, 23, 25, 18, 34, 18, and 15. This yields a mean of 19.9 words per sentence.
The chapters that appealed to me the most are Chapter 4: Home-cooked food. The bulk of this review will be devoted to these two chapters.
Some britain people like to 'go to work on an egg'. They eat an egg for breakfast before going to work. But many more breakfast on cereal. And whatever they eat, most people drink tea or coffee. At weekends many people have a more traditional, cooked breakfast. Two favorite meals with children are fish fingers and chips, and baked beans on toast. And three traditional British meals are bangers, beans and mash, stew, and the Sunday roast. 311/8956
