На данной странице представлен топик по английскому «Eating out». Текст снабжен переводом и полезными выражениями.
Nowadays, people tend to be busy and have little or even no time to eat healthily and regularly. Some people cook at home and take food to work or school in special lunch boxes. However, most people prefer eating out during their lunch breaks.
Fortunately, there is a great variety of restaurants now and we may try numerous dishes of different cuisines. There are Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Russian and many other kinds of restaurants. But the most popular ones are considered to be fast food restaurants.
Fast food restaurants and cafes offer cheap dishes, good service and save a lot of time. Moreover, people like such kind of food. They find it tasty and filling. In addition, fast food restaurants attract clients making special offers which make people buy more and spend less.
Nevertheless, people love eating out also during their leisure time. They get together with family or friends, go on dates and choose a place to their liking where they can eat their favourite food or try something exotic and spend time with their loved ones.
On the one hand eating out may be useful and pleasant. We have an opportunity to eat differently and feel closer to faraway countries and cultures trying their typical food. On the other hand, it is not always healthy to eat in restaurants, especially in those with fast food. Eating on the run can affect negatively our health and general state.
Перевод:
В современном мире люди часто заняты и у них либо мало времени, чтобы правильно и регулярно питаться, либо его вовсе нет. Некоторые люди готовят дома и берут еду с собой на работу или учебу в специальных ланч боксах. Однако большинство людей предпочитают питаться в каких-нибудь заведениях во время обеденного перерыва.
К счастью, сейчас есть большой выбор ресторанов, и мы можем попробовать многочисленные блюда различных кухонь. Существуют индийские, японские, итальянские, русские и многие другие виды ресторанов. Но самыми популярными считаются рестораны быстрого питания.
Рестораны и кафе быстрого питания предлагают дешевые блюда, хороший сервис и экономят много времени. Более того, людям нравится такая еда. Они находят ее вкусной и сытной. Кроме того, рестораны быстрого питания привлекают клиентов, делая специальные предложения, которые заставляют людей покупать больше, а тратить меньше.
Тем не менее, люди любят есть вне дома также и в свое свободное от работы время. Они собираются вместе с семьей или друзьями, ходят на свидания и выбирают места на свой вкус, где они могут поесть любимой еды или попробовать чего-нибудь экзотичного и провести время со своими близкими.
С одной стороны, есть вне дома – удобно и приятно. У нас есть возможность питаться разнообразно и чувствовать себя ближе к дальним странам и культурам, пробуя их традиционную еду. С другой стороны, не всегда полезно питаться в ресторанах, особенно в заведениях с фастфудом. Еда на бегу негативно влияет на наше здоровье и общее состояние.
Слова и выражения:
Cuisine – кухня
Dish — блюдо
Service – обслуживание
Filling — сытный
To make an offer – сделать предложение
To go on date – пойти на свидание
To eat on the run – есть на ходу/бегу

Установите соответствие тем 1 — 8 текстам A — G. Занесите свои ответы в соответствующее поле справа. Используйте каждую цифру только один раз. В задании одна тема лишняя.
1. То take from home
2. Evening drinks
3. Food for relaxation
4. Skipping the meal
5. Foreign cuisine
6. Unusual meals
7. Traditional morning meal
8. Take it ready to eat
A. If you go to a hotel in Britain and ask for a typical English breakfast, you will probably get bacon and eggs, sausage, mushrooms, baked beans, tea and toast. When porridge juice are offered as well, the meal is sometimes advertised as a «full Engilsh breakfast». Many years ago people couldn’t imagine their breakfast without a bowl of cerea or usual bacon and eggs.
B. But how many people in England actually eat an English breakfast? Only one person in ten. One in five people say all they have for breakfast is a cup of coffee, and many children go to school without eating anything. That is happening because people lack time. They are always in a hurry and prefer to choose something light and ready-made, especially in the morning.
C. If in Britain you stay with a family, you will almost certainly be given a «packed lunch» to eat for your midday meal. Some factories and schools have canteens where a packed lunch is the most common thing to eat. A packed lunch usually consists of some sandwiches, a packet of crisps, an apple, and a can of something to drink, for example, Coca-Cola. The quality of the packed lunch can vary.
D. Fish and chips is the classic English takeaway food. It is usually bought ready cooked at special shops — fish and chip shops, or «chippies» as they are sometimes called. This takeaway food is wrapped in paper to be eaten at home or outside. If you go to a fish and chip shop, you’ll be asked if you want salt and vinegar to be sprinkled over your chips. Be careful because sometimes they give you too much.
E. If you have trouble getting off to sleep, don’t panic. There are plenty of healthy, low fat alternatives to pills to help you nod off. Why not try a glass of warm skimmed milk, or even a cup of camomile tea? These natural and low-fat drinks will help you to get asleep. They can also relax you after a difficult day.
F. Every British town has Indian or Chinese restaurants. There are more Chinese takeaways than there are fish and chips shops in the UK. But most people are eating curry Curry is now Britain’s most popular meal because the majority of British people like spicy food. But British people like food from other countries, too. They say it allows them to understand other cultures better.
G. Eating carbohydrate-rich foods like bread, cereal, rice and pasta causes the production of serotonin, which makes us feel calm. Fruit and vegetables also set off the production of this chemical. Milk and cheese are also useful. The next time you feel stressed, try a little piece of bread and a glass of milk and you’ll feel better in no time.

Lesson in humility
I was nine when this started. That was in 1964, the year my mother left us. Chess led me to Horatio — chess and my father and my absent mother and the fact that on that day, I broke the rule about not showing what you feel. My form-master of that year at the private day-school I went to was a chess enthusiast. He explained the rules to us, he encouraged us to play. He was kind to me and I admired him, more than admired: I wanted to be where he was. I suppose I was more than usually responsive to kindness just at that time. To please him I tried hard to be good at chess and I discovered that I was good. I had a natural talent, the master said.
I joined the school chess club. I took part in tournaments and distinguished myself. Shining at few things, for a brief season I shone at chess. I studied the game, I read the accounts of historic encounters, the ploys of long-dead masters, and I played them out alone. I would set out the pieces at random, then sweep them off and try to replace them from memory. At night, I would picture the chess board, go through the moves of some legendary end-game and find consolation.
A colleague of my father was there one Sunday afternoon — my father was a senior official at the Treasury. «Your father tells me you are quite a chess-player.” On his reddish face an indulgent look. «At least by his own report,” my father said with a sarcastic smile. He seemed to suggest I had boasted. Perhaps I had. “Not up to your level, Henry, not yet.» Henry, Harry, Humphrey. A chessplayer ot note. Fancy a game, young man?
We played and I won. He still had half his pieces on the board when l checkmated him. I leasure in victory, expectation of praise — face and voice were not yet practiced enough, I suppose I showed my feelings too clearly. My father looked at me, but uttered no word. He went out, came back with a book from his study, brought it over for me to see. “Look here,” he said, the colleague meanwhile looking on. “Look at these people here.”
He had opened the book roughly in the middle. There were two faces, one on either side: William Pitt the Younger and Horatio Nelson. Neither name meant anything to me at the time. Later, ot course, I knew them tor close contemporaries -Horatio was a year older and died three months earlier.
“Take a good look,” my father said. “These two men saved our country, they had reason to be pleased with themselves.”
He meant it for my benefit or so I like to think. He did not want me to be jubilant in victory, to overrate small achievements. He wanted to inspire me with worthy ambitions. But in his mannei and tone I sensed displeasure; he was not pleased at my success, it had disturbed his sense of the natural order.
My interest in chess did not long survive that day, the lesson in humility proved the death-blow to it. I continued to play during what was left of the term, but my heart was not in it, I lost the appetite for victory, my game fell off. In the autumn, Monty and I were sent away to boarding school and I never played chess again.

COOKING INFORMATION |

Indian
Cooking . . . how did it become so popular?
There are not many towns in the UK without an Indian restaurant,
and certainly no cities. In fact many towns will boast several
such eating establishments. These days they are very much
part of the urban landscape but it was not always so.
Indian cuisine is the most popular alternative to traditional
cooking in Britain, followed by Chinese and Italian food with
Chicken Tikka Masala now considered one of Britain’s most
popular dishes, if not the most popular.
So where did the popularity of Indian cuisine come from and
how did it start? There seems to be no clear cut answer to
the question. No doubt Britain’s involvement with India over
the centuries would seem to be the logical place to start
looking for the answers. Some suggest those returning from
years of living and working in India brought back with them
a taste for Indian food. This is probably true but those people
would have been a minority and a lot of them well to do, not
the sort of people who would pop out to go to the local Indian
restaurant, not that Indian restaurants really existed in
any great number until a few decades ago.
In the early Nineteenth century the only places offering
Indian cuisine were community meeting places which had been
set up for the lascars (seamen most of whom were from
Bengal) who had jumped ship in London looking for a new life
or had just been put ashore, without any means of support,
as no longer required on their ships.
It
was not until 1809 the first establishment dedicated to Indian
cuisine opened. This was the Hindostanee Coffee House just
off Portman Square in London, opened by Dean Mahomet who had
originally risen through the ranks of the East India Company’s
army before coming to London, after a time spent in Ireland.
Calling it a coffee house was just a way of describing such
establishments at the time and was not somewhere set up to
sell coffee, it was just taking advantage of the popularity
of the term . . . Nineteenth century marketing and PR!
The Hindostanee Coffee House was intended to appeal to the
Anglo-Indians, many of whom lived in that part of London,
with traditional colonial style furnishings and decortication.
It was intended «for the Nobility and Gentry where they
might enjoy the Hookha with real Chilm tobacco and Indian
dishes of the highest perfection, and allowed by the greatest
epicures to be unequalled to any curries ever made in England».
As the forerunner of Indian restaurants the Hindostanee was
not a great success as in 1812 Mahomet filed for bankruptcy.
It was really in the very early part of the Twentieth century
that the first real Indian restaurants started to open with
the first recorded one being the London based Salut e Hind,
in Holborn area, which opened in 1911. However, these early
Indian restaurants were mainly for Asians.
In 1926 the first fashionable Indian restaurant opened. It
was the Veeraswamy Indian Restaurant in Londons Regent
Street where it is still open for business today (www.veeraswamy.com).
At the 1924 Wembley Empire exhibition the Indian Pavilion
was modelled on Mughal architecture and the Indian pavilion
featured an Indian restaurant. Edward Palmer who had successfully
run the Mughal Palace at the exhibition, was so encouraged
by the reaction of friends and acquaintances, that it led
to him founding Veeraswamy. In 1935 Veeraswamy’s was sold
to Sir William Steward MP who ran the restaurant for 40 years
travelling the world in order to source produce for the restaurant.

Over the years customers of Veeraswamy ‘s have included Edward
Prince of Wales, King Gustav of Sweden, Pandit Nehru, Indira
Gandhi, Charlie Chaplin, King Hussein of Jordan, and Marlon
Brando to name but a few. It was another celebrity customer,
Prince Axel of Denmark, who is held to be responsible for
Veeraswamy introducing lager into Indian restaurants. During
a visit the Prince was so enchanted by the restaurant that
he made a present of a case of Carlsberg (the royal beer)
and gave orders for a case to be delivered each year.
«The
most popular
Indian dish is
Chicken Tikka
Masala»
The implication is that the popularity of Indian cooking
came about through a natural growth set in motion by Britain’s
time in control of India. This seems unlikely given that it
would only be a small minority of the population that would
have even experienced Indian food, let alone be able to afford
to dine out at Indian restaurants. There was a naturally growing
Indian community in the country as a result of lascars leaving
ships and Indian servants coming over with employers returning
from their time in India but nothing to signify any significant
growth in the popularity of Indian food.
The real growth in Indian restaurants started in the early
Sixties. The growth did not come about because of the British
Empire, and India being part of it, but through a combination
of economic and political events that came together in the
same period. Up until 1962 members of the Commonwealth were
allowed to enter Britain freely but even after that time there
were large influxes with many Asians coming from Kenya, Uganda
and other parts of Africa as a result of political upheaval
and the expulsion of the Asian communities. For many Asians
arriving in Britain there were few employment opportunities
so the growing restaurant businesses had a ready-made pool
of workers.
The growing affluence, and the changing lifestyles, of Britain
in the Sixties saw a very different world emerging where more
and more people were able to eat out. This coincided with
the growth of Indian restaurants across the whole of the country,
even though ironically those running the restaurants were
often not Indians but Pakistanis or, with independence in
1971, Bangladeshi.
In 1960 there were a mere 500 Indian restaurants in Britain
but by 1970 this had more than doubled to 1,200. Bangladesh
Independence saw an immigration surge and with it further
growth in restaurant numbers to 3,000 by 1980, and by the
turn of the Century there were around 8,000 Indian restaurants
with a turnover of more than £2 billion and providing
70,000 jobs making Indian restaurants a very important part
of the country’s economy.

Early |
It was the Sixties that saw the introduction of the tandoor
which is credited with being one of the major factors influencing
the rapid growth in popularity of Indian cooking. It gives
food cooked using a tandoor a unique flavour but what is a
tandoor. The tandoor is a type of clay oven with the heat
source is in the base.
The tandoor ovens used in today’s restaurant are very different,
using modern technology, but they still operate in the same
way when it comes to the cooking of the food . . . they are
just easier to run and heat up. In a traditional tandoor oven
the heat would be generated by burning charcoal or wood. Charcoal
can still be used in a modern tandoor although they can now
also be heated by gas or electric .
«The
word
tandoor
means fire»
Cooking food in this manner means it is exposed to direct
heat from the fire, as well as radiant heat and hot-air, convection
cooking, with smoking by the fat and food juices that drip
on to the charcoal. Temperatures in a tandoor can approach
480°C (900°F), and it is common for tandoor ovens
to remain lit for long periods to maintain the high cooking
temperature.
The growth of Indian restaurants made restaurant meals affordable
to more people and was also instrumental in changing the nations
taste to more exotic food. The growth of Indian cooking, and
the taste for spicier food, has grown over the decades with
many people now cooking their own Indian food at home. The
supermarkets have whole sections dedicated to Indian food
products and fresh Indian meals to cook at home.
Along the way what started out as very definable Indian food
has become Anglo-Indian food with dishes created by Indian
chefs specifically for British customers. The most famous
of such dishes being Chicken Tikka Masala.
There is a lovely urban legend as to how Chicken Tikka Masala
came into existence. It is claimed that a diner, who had ordered
Chicken Tikka, complained that it was too dry and needed some
gravy serving with it. Working on the basis that the customer
is always right, the Chicken Tikka was returned to the kitchen
for the chef to work his magic to keep the customer happy.
A can of tomato soup was produced, some cream and spices added,
thickened to a gravy consistency and poured over the Chicken
Tikka . . . which became Chicken Tikka Masala.
Is it likely? How many Indian kitchens would have had cans
of tomato soup in their stock of ingredients? But true or
not it is a dish with many variations, all going under the
same name. It is claimed that no such dish existed in India
but others suggest it is very similar to Butter Chicken.
Whatever the truth Chicken Tikka Masala is so popular it
is even being served in some hotel restaurants in India and

1) the country’s geography.

3) the country’s history.
4) the country’s transpoea
5) the country today.
6) the country’s national food.
A. India is a country in South Asia and is the second most populated
country in the world. It is locnted on the Indian subcontinent. To
the north-east lie the Himalayas, a mountain range that separates
the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau in western
China. To the north-west lies the Thar Desert, sometimes called
the Great Indian Desert,
B. India is known for its hot weather. This is because India
is strongly influenced by the Himalayas and the Thar Desert,
They control the flow of the summer and winter monsoons. The
mountains stop the cold northern winds coming in from Central
Asia. As a result, winters in India are a lot warmer than in other
countries in similar geographic locations.
C. Indian cuisine varies grently depending on the region. Historically
India has developed a wide variety of traditional regional food.
During the time of the British rule over India, the British Empire
acquired knowledge of Indian cuisine. As a result, the UK now
considers Indian food part of its national cuisine, producing many
Anglo-Indian dishes.
D. In 3000 BC the aren was home to the ancient Indus River Valley
Civilization. Later it was home to Aryan Civilization that migrated
from the north and formed the basis of Indian culture and
religion Hlinduism. In the 139 century most of India fell to the
Delhi Sultanate and remnined an officially Muslim state until the
18 century, when it came under British control.
It often seems to foreigners that British food …
1) hasn’t been cooked long enough.
2) often tastes too hot and spicy.
3) doesn’t include raw vegetables.
4) is lacking in variety of dishes.
Foreigners often laugh at the British. They say, “In Britain you get hot chips with everything!” But even the British don’t eat chips with their meals. To prove that, we decided to let you read an extract from a letter written by Pete Phrase, the chief cook at Daphne’s in London, to his foreign friends.
“…I am always both amused and annoyed when I hear foreign people criticise British food. “It’s unimaginative,” they say. “It’s boring, it’s tasteless with totally overcooked vegetables.” I have a theory about British cooking, and I was interested to read that several famous cookery writers agree with me. My theory is this. Our basic ingredients, when fresh, are so full of flavour that we haven’t had to invent sauces and complex recipes to disguise their natural taste. What can compare with fresh peas or new potatoes just boiled (not overboiled) and served with butter? Why drown spring lamb in wine or cream or yoghurt and spices, when with just one or two herbs it is absolutely delicious?
If you ask foreigners to name some typically English dishes, they will probably say “fish and chips” and then stop. It is disappointing, but true, that there is no tradition in Britain of eating in restaurants, because our food doesn’t lend itself to such preparation. British cooking is found in the home, where it is possible to time the dishes to perfection. So it is difficult to find a good English restaurant with reasonable prices.
It is for these reasons that we haven’t exported our dishes, but we have imported a surprising variety of cuisines from all over the world. In most cities in Britain you’ll also find Indian, Chinese, French and Italian restaurants. In London you’ll also find Indonesian, Lebanese, German, Spanish, Mexican, Greek… Cynics will say that this is because we have no “cuisine” ourselves, but, well, you know what I think!”
Traditional British food is usually described as plain, conservative and unvaried. There are many popular jokes about it. “The British Empire was created as a by-product of generations of desperate Englishmen roaming the world in search of a decent meal,” remarks American journalist Bill Marsano.
Indeed, classic British dishes are not too dainty, but they are nourishing, natural and tasty, a lot of attention here is paid to the food quality. Residents of Great Britain prefer local food to imported products, so nearly all fish, milk and meat products are produced within the country and vegetables are grown by local farmers.
Meals during a day in Britain traditionally include breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper. Dinner is always the most substantial meal during the day. For dinner the British often have soup and then the main course, such as meat, poultry or fishwith vegetables or mashed potatoes. It is followed by a dessert, for example, the ost ubiquitous apple pie. Meat dishes are presented in British cuisine in a large variety. Probably, the most delicious of them is succulent roast beef, which is grilled and served with vegetables, roast potatoes or Yorkshire pudding. Apart from beef, the British cook steaks of pork, lamb and sometimes turkey or chicken.
Supper in Britain is the last meal of the day, and usually it consists of something light, for example, a bowl of cream soup, naturally, often skipped.
As for drinks, it’s impossible to imagine British cuisine without tea. Contrary to popular belief, tea is not always served with milk. The British drink tea with and without sugar, with lemon, cinnamon, honey and so on. But tea and milk is a classic combination, not a favourite of mine, though.”

A. A unique food battle festival known as La Tomatina is celebrated in Spain every year on the last Wednesday of August. It involves thousands of people engaging in a brutal battle, throwing overripe tomatoes at each other. The festival spans more than a week and although there are many elements to the festival, such as parades, music, dancing and fireworks, they are all centered on the tomato fight.

B. Spanish cuisine is a heavenly mixture of chicken, mixed vegetables, fish and meats. Many of the most popular Spanish dishes are a type of Paella, which is a rice dish that features a variety of ingredients. Hot chocolate and churros are very popular desserts throughout the country. Spain is also famous for its aromatic wines and other alcoholic beverages like Sangria, Cava and authentic Spanish beer.
Популярные блюда Испании. Time to relax
C. Spain is very rich with traditions, especially those associated with food. For breakfast, some families buy fresh churros, pair them with hot chocolate and enjoy a leisurely morning routine. Lunch is another important meal of the day, and it is usually heavier than breakfast. This is sometimes followed by a siesta, an afternoon nap to get through post-lunch drowsiness. During this time, shops close and then open again after two or three hours of rest.

D. Spain is an important resting spot for migratory birds, and a home for many animals. But, unfortunately, many species of wildlife face threats from habitat loss and pollution. Due to centuries of tree cutting, large forests are now found only in a few areas in the country. Spain has created many national parks and refuges, but they cover only about seven percent of the country.

E. Although there is a national parliament, Spain is one of the most decentralized democracies in Europe. Each of its 17 regions manages its own schools, hospitals, and other public services. The tourist services industry drives Spain’s economy,
but at the same time, since 1986, when Spain joined the European Community, it has worked to diversify its economy, by building important industries such as mining, shipbuilding, and textiles.

F. Bullfighting is one of the most famous traditions in Spain. This risky sport evolved from the ancient Roman gladiator games, with human matadors opposing charging bulls. However, this tradition has lately become widely debated and younger
generations and animal-rights activists protest against bullfighting. Either way, it remains an iconic part of the country and bullfights take place in many Spanish towns and cities.

G. La siesta is a well-known aspect of Spanish culture. Seeking to balance work with pleasure, Spaniards have long practiced this tradition, when students and professionals return to their homes around midday for a big lunch, followed by a few hours of rest and family time. Many businesses also shut down for a short break. However, 21st-century big cities move at a faster pace, and don’t take siestas, but many people in smaller towns and villages still take a siesta each day.
