My favourite food, in a restaurant + Slovná zásoba

My favourite food, in a restaurant + Slovná zásoba 

Everybody has to eat.

The first meal of the day is breakfest. Some says that the rich breakfest is the best way to start the day, but I usually haven’t got time for breakfeast and I drink only a tea. I like fruit tea with strawberries and cream. I don’t drink cofee because of its strange flavour. At the weekend my mother cooks me scrambled eggs or a I take yougurt, cakes.
 
Healthy food: milk – for bones, fruit, vegetables, poultry (chicken, hen, duck, goose, turkey), fish, rabbits, soja, cornflakes, dark bread, honey, nuts…
 
Unhealthy food: eggs, lamb, pork, beef, veal, mutton, chips, sweets, chocolates…
Alcoholic drinks – bad for the liver, but beer- good for digestion, red wine- good for blood…

At the restaurant

When you come you should find a free table and wait for the waiter. It’s impolite to crack fingers. You can be fined for doing it. The waiter brings you a menu and asks whether you want anything to drink. (mineral water, cola, fanta… wine, beer, champagne, aperitifs…).

You can have a soup first (potato, tomato, pea, bean, carrot, parsley, celery, mushrooms, beef, tripe, chicken, hen, poultry, fish, goulash, strawberry…) Then you could have a main meal (meat with potatoes, chips, croquette, dumplings, pasta, rice…) As for desert you could have ice cream, pancakes, cake, fruit… Then you call the waiter and pay for a dinner.

In our country the day starts with a breakfast, which consists of something to drink (tea with milk or lemon, cocoa, warm milk, black coffee) and something to eat (one or two slices of bread and butter and cheese or eggs, salami, ham, jam, honey…). Instead of bread we can eat rolls, buns or something sweet (cakes, doughnuts, gingerbread).

A lot of people eat for their breakfast cornflakes or muesli. Breakfast usually takes place between 6 and 7 o’clock. Around noon we have our lunch, which is warm and consist of soup, main meal, dessert and something to drink. Most people go to school or factory canteen, some of them prefer going to the restaurant of having fast lunch in a buffet or snackbar. An evening meal could be either warm or cold. Quick and cold supper may consist of some paté on bread or rolls, kippers or some spread, ham, cheese… Warm supper could be a soup, potato pancakes (bramborák), ham and eggs, sausages…
 
Fast food is a typical feature of both English and American lifestyles. At food stalls you can buy various types of food to eat as you walk along the streets or take it away and eat at home. The Americans call these restaurants “cheapies”.  These places – McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, KFC … usually offer beverages (Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, tea, juice…), some solid food like roast chicken and chips, hamburgers, sandwiches, pizza, salads, deserts…

You can put pickles, onions, ketchup or tomatoes on your hamburger too. The oldest type of fast food are sea food stalls or shops – usually fish and chips – the fish is cut to pieces, covered with batter (flour and water) and fried in oil. Another typical feature of British and American lifestyles is popcorn. 
It is said that fast food is very unhealthy and probably it’s true. They fry it on a bad oil, the hygiene is also very bad and it is unhealthy to eat while you are walking. But it is very popular and most of children love it. In some countries it is also the cheapest food.
 
Eating out or in - Both of this has advantages and disadvantages. OUT - no dishes, no washing up, no cooking, professionally prepared food, for many people it is a small celebration, very expensive, you have to go somewhere, it could be unhealthy, you have to wait till they prepare it. × IN – cheaper, at home, more comfortable, dishes, you have cook it yourself
 
Typical Czech meals - tripe soup, potato soup, roast goose and sauerkraut and Czech dumplings, roast sirloin of beef in sour cream sauce and dumplings, roast pork sauerkraut and dumplings, Moravian Sparrows (roast fat pork offcuts), Spanish Birds (rolled beef steaks filled with salami, pickle, egg, mustard), potato pancakes, fruit dumplings with cream, potato or „hairy“ dumplings, fried cheese
