England
Eating habits become a part of culture that are developed as a result of traditional values of a country. Therefore, eating habits vary from country to country. Now I am going to give a brief description of England eating habits. Let us start with the breakfast taken by the people of England.
Breakfast
English people used to eat heavy breakfast including sausages, mushrooms, eggs and tomatoes in past but now they have adopted contemporary eating habits. Now their breakfast includes cereal with milk or they like to have toasts with marmalade or jams. Drink that they use to have is tea but some people prefer coffee on tea.
Other Meals
Some people like to have afternoon tea with snacks like sandwiches and cakes. In lunch English people like a quick meal like sandwiches even in schools children take sandwiches, fruits and drinks. In the evening they take meals early between 6 and 8. Most popular thing that they love to have is cream yeas.
Meals on Sundays
On Sundays traditional lunch is taken that includes roasted meat like lamb, beef or pork with gravy of potatoes. They also like to have international cuisines like Italian, French and Indian.
Meals on Special Events
There are some meals that are specified for special events. For example, on religious events people like to have cake and pastries. Others include:
•    Hot Cross Buns on Good Friday
•    Simnel Cake on Mothering Sundays
•    Palm Pudding on Christmas
•    Twelfth Night Cake for Epiphany
Czech
Although Czech cuisine is not exactly a synonym for healthy cooking, everybody will probably find at least a couple of meals "to die for". It may be the potato soup, the traditional roast pork with dumplings and sauerkraut, the fruit filled dumplings, or the apple strudel. Czech cooking and eating habits have been shifting in the general direction of a healthier lifestyle, but traditional Czech recipes are still extremely popular - and those tend to be high in calories, fat and sugar. Sauces and condiments are popular.
Soups
A Czech meal often starts with soup (polévka). Some popular Czech soups are:
- potato soup (bramborová polévka or bramboračka)
- garlic soup (česneková polévka or česnečka)
- chicken noodle soup (kuřecí polévka s nudlemi)
- beef soup with liver dumplings (hovězí polévka s játrovými knedlíčky)
- sauerkraut soup (zelná polévka or zelňačka)
- dill soup, made from sour milk (koprová polévka or koprovka)
The Main Course
The main course (hlavní chod) usually consists of meat (maso) and a side dish (příloha). The most popular meats are chicken (kuře) and pork (vepřové), followed by beef (hovězí), usually served with some kind of sauce (omáčka). Fish is not very common although trout (pstruh) or cod (treska) are sometimes served. Salmon (losos) and seafood (plody moře) are served in better restaurants. The mackerel (makrela) is a popular fish to grill over open fire in summer. Carp (kapr) is traditionally served on Christmas Eve.
Side Dishes
The most common Czech side dishes are:
- boiled potatoes (vařené brambory)
- roasted potatoes (opékané brambory)
- mashed potatoes (bramborová kaše)
- French fries (bramborové hranolky)
- rice (rýže)
- bread dumplings (houskové knedlíky) or potato dumplings
- (bramborové knedlíky) with sauce (omáčka)
- bread or potato dumplings with sauerkraut (zelí)
- potato salad (bramborový salát)
Desserts
Desserts (moučníky) come in many varieties and tend to be heavy and fatty because butter (máslo) and whipped cream (šlehačka) are often used. Some popular desserts are:
- crepes (palačinky) filled with jam (džem) or strawberries (jahody)
- and whipped cream
- honey cake called Medovník
- blueberry dumplings (borůvkové knedlíky)
- apple strudel (jablečný závin)
- ice cream sundae (zmrzlinový pohár)
Beverages
As far as drinks (nápoje) go, a Czech meal is often accompanied by the national beverage, which is beer (pivo). If you're not in the mood for beer, you can have a mineral water (minerálka), orange juice (pomerančový džus), apple juice (jablečný džus), or a soda (specify its name because soda in Czech means "soda water"). Czechs also like to drink tea (čaj) with sugar (cukr) and lemon (citrón), and coffee (káva) with or without milk (mléko) or cream (smetana).
