Food and Drink

Hello my name’s James Cross and I live in Hertfordshire in England. Food and drink is an important part of life in England as people here like to eat as a family. England is most famously known for its “Fish and Chips”, which is one of my favourite meals. I also enjoy eating many other foods from countries such as Italy and China. My favourite food is Chinese because it fits in with my healthy lifestyle. Chinese food is usually based around noodles and beef.

Many people like to get “take away’s”, which consist of foods such as Chinese and also Indian. There are also many other forms of “Fast food”, such as Mac Donald’s and KFC. These foods are commonly known for being unhealthy, so I only eat them on rare occasions.

I am quite a health conscious person, which means that I often like to go to the gym and I also run. To help improve my performance I choose to eat a healthy diet which includes lots of vegetables and red meat. Red meat counts as food such as beef.

England is also well known for having many pubs. Whilst many people enjoy drinking alcohol here, you are also able to buy a “pub lunch”. This is usually good quality food which is always full of flavour.

 

My favourite place to eat out in my town is called Zizzi’s. This sells Italian foods such as pizza and pasta dishes. I personally choose to eat pizza because I like the powerful flavours that can be used as toppings such as chillies and ham.

Along with food, many people think that England is iconic for drinking tea. I don’t like tea because of its strong flavour. Instead I prefer to drink Coke or apple juice. Many of my friends also prefer to drink soft drinks rather than tea, although we do occasionally drink coffee in the Cafe’s in town.   
I also like to drink milkshakes, which I usually get from a small shop called the Shaken’ Cow. I sometimes I like to relax in their shop with my friends and just talk.
