英国是个文化底蕴深厚的国家，他们在料理上保留了原有的传统饮食习惯及烹调技巧，由于英国受北大西洋洋流的调节及终年西风的影响，形成了冬暖夏凉、终年有雨、四季寒暑变化不大的温带海洋性气候。由于气候条件，英国主要发展栽种饲料作物及牧草，并发展酪农业。英国本身粮食及畜牧产品却不能自给，需要依赖进口，因此，英国的料理烹调上多少都受到外来资讯的影响。但是，英式菜选料的局限性比较大，所以英国人不讲究吃海鲜，反倒比较偏爱牛肉、羊肉、禽类、蔬菜等。并且，英国是一个很讲究绅士风度的国家，他们的绅士风度也体现在了餐桌上。
英国人一般比较喜爱的烹饪方式有：烩、烧烤、煎、焗、烙和油炸。对肉类、海鲜、野味的烹调均有独到的方式，而且他们对牛肉类方面有着特别的偏好。在食用时不仅附上时令的蔬菜、烤洋芋，还会在牛排上加上少许的芥茉酱。英国菜的调味料大都放在餐桌上，任人自由挑选，并且英国人不喜带粘汁的菜肴和过辣的菜肴，也忌用味精调味。英国人的口味不喜太咸，爱甜、酸、微辣味。英国的烹饪常常用到烤炉，烤炉里有各式各样的焙盘，肉和蔬菜都要放在焙盘里用慢火烤，以便把肉和蔬菜的味道都调出来。英国人喜欢喝茶，晨起要喝早茶；到了上午11点，要休息片刻，喝一杯茶，被他们称之为早上11点左右的便餐；到了中午，吃了午饭之后，还要配上一杯奶茶；下午3点半到4点左右还要来一杯下午茶，高贵的正式茶聚，或者是不喝茶只吃点心的餐饮，都可以被称为“下午茶”，下午茶几乎成为英国人生活中必不可少的习惯。英国还盛产酒，出产苏格兰威士忌，由于气候、文化传统，英国人十分喜欢喝酒，因而，英国的酒业很强盛，酒吧无处不在，独特的酒吧文化成为了英国文化的重要组成部分。英国主要有五种酒吧：第一，传统酒吧，古朴、陈旧，不少为露天，桌子椅子都极具沧桑感，主要吸引中老年顾客的光顾；第二，时髦式酒吧，讲究现代装潢，时尚摆设，吸引青年男女的光顾；第三，女士酒吧，专门为女士而设；第四，同性恋酒吧；第五，名人特色酒吧。
英式早餐是英国饮食文化的重要部分，标准的英式早餐主要包括以下几种食品：熏肉、煎蛋、炸蘑菇、炸番茄、煎肉肠、黑布丁，有时还有炸薯条，而且还会有咖啡或茶佐餐。但是英国人的午餐却十分简单，通常在一个小时左右，一般都是人们早上在家做好三明治，然后在午餐时间食用。英国的晚餐是一天中的最丰富，最讲究的一餐，因为这是他们工作、学习一天之后家庭聚会的最好时间。用餐时对服饰、座次、用餐方式都有很严格的规定，这是最能展现英国饮食文化的时刻。传统的正餐通常有四道菜：第一道是汤，第二道是鱼，
第三道是肉，第四道是甜点、布丁拼盘，最后是甜菜和冰淇淋，现在正餐基本上由头盘、主食和甜品组成。晚餐之后，英国人通常会喝一杯加牛奶的茶，来结束一天的疲劳。
英国最具代表性的食物就是炸鱼和薯条了，选择鳕鱼或鲽鱼，最好是新鲜的，去骨，切片后裹上湿面团，然后油炸制成炸鱼。英国的薯条和麦当劳里面卖的美式薯条是不同的，是将土豆切成粗粗厚厚的长条，放进加了盐的滚水中，然后捞出，将水沥干放进油里炸，炸到薯条金黄为止。炸鱼和薯条是在19世纪60年代流行起来的，人们把盐和醋的混合调料倒在炸鱼和土豆条上，用报纸包上，就可以吃了。如今，人们经常用清洁的纸包装，并提供一个餐叉。
饮食是人类生存之本，生命的源泉。虽然每个国家的自然地理、气候条件、资源特产、风土人情不同，导致了不同的饮食文化和习惯，但是每个国家所赋予饮食文化的意义都是相同的，英国是一个有着传统文化的国家，虽然他们的食材种类稀少，但是这并不影响他们对于美食的追求，英国具有深厚的饮食文化的底蕴，英国最具代表性的食物“炸鱼和薯条”也成功诠释了英国这个有着特殊地理位置的国家的文化内涵。

英国风土人情及饮食习惯 走进英国，想要更深的了解英国吗?下面跟着我一起来看看吧。 地理位置：英国是大不列颠岛和爱尔兰岛东北部及附近许多岛屿组成的岛国。东濒北海，面对比利时、荷兰、德国、丹麦和挪威等国;西邻爱尔兰，横隔大西洋与美国、加拿大遥遥相对;北过大西洋可达冰岛;南穿英吉利海峡行33公里就到法国。 国旗：英国国旗由蓝色背景、红色“米”字构成，因此也称为“米字旗”。首都：伦敦国花：玫瑰名胜古迹篇“大本钟” 坐落于泰晤士河畔议会大厦的北面，耸立着高高的钟楼，镶有大钟，名为“大本”。每隔一小时，大钟根据格林威治时间发出沉重而铿锵的响声，在数英里之外也能听到钟声的回荡。 1859年，大钟由当时的英王工务大臣本杰明〃霍尔爵士监制，大钟共重21吨，铸造时耗资2.7万英镑。“大本” 钟被视为伦敦的象征，凡到伦敦观光的人，无不想到钟楼周围，站在议会桥上欣赏伦敦这个独具一格的建筑。 伦敦塔 伦敦塔始建于 1078年。它在历史上既作过王宫，也作过法院，后来又是一所监狱。伦敦塔占地7.2公顷，周围用巨石筑成一道厚实的城墙。城墙上有许多炮台、箭楼，四周是一条又宽又深的护城河。伦敦塔现在已经成了对外开放的博物馆。塔内有个珍宝馆，观众可以看到英国历代国王的王冠、王室珍藏的金银珠宝。伦敦古堡中还有一些身体肥胖称为 “渡乌” 的大乌鸦，有专人饲养。伦敦塔有千年的历史，堪称伦敦最悠久的古迹，游客每年达200万人。在出入口处游人可以看到两名身着古老的都铎王朝制服的禁卫，这些 “古老卫士”们，成了游客欣赏和摄影的对象。
大英博物馆 大英博物馆位于伦敦中心，闹区的格雷〃拉塞尔大街北侧。它是一座规模庞大的古罗马柱式建立，气魄雄伟、十分壮观。这里珍藏的文物和图书资料是世界上任何一个博物馆所不能比拟的。大英博物馆建于1753 年，6年后正式开放，原来主要收藏图书，其后兼收历史文物和各国古代艺术品。 威斯敏斯特教堂 威斯敏斯特教堂是11世纪号称“笃信者”的英王爱德华建立的。教堂的主要特点是大门处有一对塔楼。教堂自建以来，一直是英国历代国王或女王加冕礼典和王室成员结婚的场所。英国历代国王死后，大部分葬在这里。英国资产阶级革命后，许多名人死后，在教堂也占有一席之地。英国把威斯敏斯特教堂称为 “荣誉的宝塔尖”。现在，威斯敏斯特大教堂不但是名人的墓地，而且是难得的“历史博物馆”。 饮食篇 英国人的饮食习惯一般是一日四餐，即：早餐、午餐、午茶餐和晚餐。口味喜清淡，不喜辣味。 1. 早餐：英国人十分重视早餐，尤其是周日的早餐。英国人用早餐的时间一般是7： 00-9： 00。传统的英式早餐比较复杂，开始吃一点麦片粥(以正宗苏格兰风味的粗燕麦片粥最为可口，而且富有营养，尤其是加入牛奶或奶油以及糖或盐之后);接着时熏肉片或加鸡蛋或腊肠加熏肉片，有时还吃熏鱼或鲜鱼;最后吃黄油或果酱烤吐司面包，有时还有些水果，饮料是茶或咖啡 2. 午餐：午餐一般在12点至下午2点之间。但对于大多数外出上班或上学的人来说，午餐则是一顿便餐。有些中、小学免费供应午餐。对于大多数工作人员来说，午餐休息时间较短，他们或去所在单位自助餐厅或邻
英国饮食文化
Let’s start with breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Traditional full English breakfast consist of, baked beans, bacon, sausages, eggs (fried or scrambled), toast, tomato and mushrooms. Breakfast is traditionally served with English tea, however coffee is becoming popular as well. As most of the foods are fried, the full English breakfast is not typically very healthy. A healthier alternative is to eat cereal, cornflakes or a sandwich. Many people will often eat a sandwich for breakfast as they can eat it on the go while they are travelling to work. What happens when you wake up late and don’t have time eat breakfast or you don’t feel hungry in the morning and you eat something between breakfast and lunch time. Breakfast + lunch = brunch. Brunch can be combination of breakfast and lunch food and any meal eaten in the late morning is considered as brunch. Lunch really depends on what type of a person you are. There are some people who will eat fast food, junk food everyday such as burgers and pizzas. However some people will eat sandwich or a salad. Children who bring packed lunches to school will definitely eat sandwiches for lunch. Some school do provide school lunches and because of the overweight problem occurring in the UK, school lunches are becoming healthier and healthier each year. Afternoon tea starts about 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Normally people eat some snacks such as, biscuits, cakes and crisps, and a cup of tea. Dinner starts about 6-7 o’clock so only a light snack will do at this time Dinner is the main meal of dayand a typical British meal for dinner is meat and "two veg" (vegetables). We put hot brown gravy, traditionally made from the juices of the roast meat (but more often today from a packet!) on the meat and usually the vegetables. One of the vegetables is almost always potatoes. This traditional meal is rarely eaten nowadays, and often just eaten on Sundays, Sunday Roast. Nowadays British people eatsomething meat based with either rice or pasta and a sauce to go with it, such as Shepherd’s Pie, Bangers (Sausage) and Mash, Steak and curry. Takeaways for dinner are also very popular, Chinese and Indian food are the most common type of takeaway food. Mainly eaten on Fridays and Saturdays. Dessert is also very important, ice cream, cheesecake, apple pie or apple crumble with custard. A famous British dish, which people know about is Fish and chips. Thick cut fries and battered cod or haddock. This is traditionally eaten on the seaside, however even a tiny village in the countryside will definitely have a fish and chip shop.

As well as the regional diets of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland the many immigrant communities have introduced their cuisines to the previously unadventurous Britons: Chinese, Greek, Indian, Italian, Thai, American fast foods such as pizza, hamburgers and fried chicken have to some extent displaced the traditional fast food of fish and chips. 今天，人们在英国吃了更多样化的饮食比以往任何时候。以及区域饮食的英格兰，苏格兰，威尔士和北爱尔兰，许多移民社区介绍了他们的菜以前unadventurous英国人：中国，希腊，印度，意大利，泰国，美国快餐食品，如比萨饼，汉堡包和炸鸡已在一定程度上取代传统的快餐店的炸鱼和薯条。 Because of the climate and the Germanic origins of many of its early people, the UK has been a traditionally beer drinking rather than a wine drinking country. Nevertheless, in recent years, vineyards in the south of England have proved successful. In the west of England the traditional drink is cider, rather than beer. Over Britain as a whole, however, the traditional drink is tea. 由于气候和日耳曼起源及其早期的许多人，英国一直是传统上喝啤酒，而不是葡萄酒
美国的饮食文化

美国饮食文化的历史
美国饮食文化的历史 美国人吃汉堡包、热狗和其他简单、标志性的美食，典型的美国菜“粗犷实在”，食用新鲜的原材料，保持事物的原汁原味；但他们同时也喜爱许多其他国家的菜肴，拥有众多移民带来的各式菜品。于是，美国饮食恍如一个“大熔炉”，汇聚了世界多国的佳肴，并将之持续交融、美国化，形成当今的让人眼花缭乱、活力四射的美国饮食。以下，我们简要溯源一下它的历史。 16世纪以前，美洲印第安人作为美国的原住民并主要居民，他们的饮食就是美国饮食的代表。在这一阶段，他们奠定了美国主食的基础——玉米。但由于生活水平较低、疆域广袤、人口文化分散等原因的限制，美国饮食尚且处于讲究温饱的状态，未能形成全国性饮食和完善的美食体系。 而且，美国一直以来没有王室一说，王室烹饪有助于国家烹饪艺术的统一和进益，以至于美国缺少王室的这一对生活品质，这里强调饮食的驱动力，美食发展在历史进程中相较缓慢。 16世纪，墨西哥的西班牙人来到美国，他们并没有只把玉米当作一种好原料而用它做成什么别的东西；他们真正地做到了将他们的想法和印地安人的想法交融一起。如玉米卷烤肉，西班牙人带来猪肉；印地安人提供玉米卷。 后来，清教徒大批移民美国，带来了“为活而吃”的精神特质，追求实用简朴，不讲究食物口味。他们认为人吃东西并消化掉以便再活一天，除了虚荣心，没有哪个思维健全的人会讨论某种食品的味道。他们的对饮食的价值观严重阻碍了烹饪艺术的发展。 17到18世纪，欧洲移民大量涌入美国，奠定了传统美国菜的基础——英国菜。美国烹饪始自英国，因为大部分美国人是英国移民的后裔。当然，美国菜有自己的特色，因为美国国土大，气候好，食物种类繁多，交通运输方便，冷藏设备优良，厨师、家庭主妇可随意选择食物，同时他们在烹饪仪器时很讲究营养。美国人的习惯是早餐喜食各种水果和略有咸味的甜点心，对沙拉很感兴趣。美国人做菜喜欢用水果作辅料，如菠萝鸡腿、苹果烤鸭等，对铁扒一类的菜肴也很喜欢。炸制类的菜品也是常吃。 而后，其他移民开始到来。非洲人被贩卖至美国，对美国烹饪产生了重大影响，他们把一些新奇的食物原料和调味品带到了美国菜桌上——羊角豆、山药、

关于中西方美食文化差异的英语 关于中西方美食文化差异的英语 Eating Custom and Practice American eating is funny. They eat almost everything with a fork, and it appears that holding a knife in one's right hand longer than a few seconds is considered to be against good table manners. 饮食的风俗和习惯 美国人的饮食习惯很有趣。他们吃所有东西都用叉子。好像用右手拿刀几秒钟就被认为与好的桌上进餐礼仪相违背。 The system is that if it is absolutely necessary to use a knife, people take the fork in their left hand, and cut off a piece of meat or whatever it is in the normal manner. Then they put the knife down, transfer the fork to their right hand, and only then do they transport the food to their mouth. This is clearly ludicrous(滑稽可笑), but it is considered good manners. 这种用法就是如果绝对需要用刀的话，人们就用左手拿叉，按平常的方法切下移小块肉和者其它的东西。然后他们把刀放下，把叉转到右手，只有这时他们才把食物送入口中。这显然很滑稽，但却是被认为是好的礼仪。
习惯作文之英国人的饮食习惯的英语作文
英国人的饮食习惯的英语作文 【篇一：英国人的饮食习惯及英文介绍】 英国人的饮食习惯及英文介绍 in the uk we have many different names for mealtimes, including ‘breakfast’, ‘brunch’, ‘elevenses’, ‘lunch’, ‘tea’, ‘dinner’ and ‘supper’! what people eat and when can vary greatly – in some parts of the uk, people may eat their meals at different times, and in some parts of the uk, ‘dinner’ means ‘lunch’, and ‘supper’ means ‘dinner’! 在英国，一天中的几顿饭都有它们各自的名字，比如breakfast早餐，brunch早午餐，elevenses午前茶，lunch午餐，tea下午茶，dinner（晚餐，正餐），supper晚饭。什么时候该吃什么区别大着呢，在英国的某些地区，人们是在这几个不同的时间点吃饭，而在 另一些地方，dinner指的是lunch，supper就是dinner。 although this may seem very confusing (and it is, even for british people!), many of the names are very old-fashioned, and not often used. ‘elevenses’ and ‘tea’ are examples of two old-fashioned snacks that are rarely eaten today. ‘elevenses’ is eaten at 11:00 am, consisting of cake or biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee. two traditional characters from english children’s books, winnie the pooh and paddington bear, used to always ‘take elevenses’! ‘tea’ is a very similar meal, and a british tradition, which involves snacking on cakes, with a cup of tea, and is normally eaten between 4:30 and 5:30 pm. 看起来貌似复杂得很（事实正是如此，即使对于英国人来说也一样），很多叫法都早已过时，不怎么被人使用。比如elevenses和tea，这两道茶点现在几乎没什么人享用了。elevenses一般是在上 午11：00，包括一杯一杯茶或咖啡就着蛋糕和饼干吃。童话书《小 熊维尼》和《帕丁顿熊》里的两位传统的小主角一直保留着吃午餐 前茶点的习惯。tea下午茶相当于一小顿饭，按照英国传统，这一餐 需要一杯茶伴着一些蛋糕佐食，时间一般是下午4：30到5：30之间。 however because people tend to have busy lifestyles in contemporary britain, we only eat three main meals each day –called breakfast, lunch and dinner.

美国饮食文化 You are what you eat. Nutrition experts often use this saying to promote better eating habits. What we put in our mouths does become a part of us. But we can look at this statement another way. What we eat reflects who we are--as people and as a culture. Do you want to understand another culture? Then you ought to find out about its food. Learning about American food can give us a real taste of American culture. 你吃什么就成为什么样子营养专家经常使用这句话来倡导更好的饮食习惯，入嘴的东西确实成为我们的一部分．但我们也可以从另一个角度来看这句话，我们所吃的反映出我们自己－－不论就人或文化而言．你想了解另一种文化吗？那么你应该去认识他们的食物．认识美国食物可以让我们得知美国文化的精髓。 What is American food? At first you might think the answer is easy as pie. To many people, American food means hamburgers, hot dogs, fried chicken and pizza. If you have a sweet tooth, you might even think of apple pie or chocolate chip cookies. Its true that Americans do eat those things. But are those the only kind of vittles you can find in America? 何谓「美式食物」？乍听之下你可能认为答案容易得很。对许多人而言，美式食物就是汉堡、热狗、炸鸡和披萨。如果你是好吃甜食的人，你可能会想到苹果派或巧克力片饼干。美国人确实吃这些东西，但这些就是你在美国唯一找得到的食物吗？ Except for Thanksgiving turkey, its hard to find a typically American food. The United States is a land of immigrants. So Americans eat food from many different countries. When people move to America, they bring their cooking styles with them. Thats why you can find almost every kind of ethnic food in America. In some cases, Americans have adopted foods from other countries as favorites. Americans love Italian pizza, Mexican tacos and Chinese egg rolls. But the American version doesnt taste quite like the original! 除了感恩节火鸡以外，挺难找到典型的美国食物。美国是个移民之地，所以美国人吃的食物来自许多不同的国家，当人们移居美国，他们也将自己的烹调带了进来。那也就是为什么在美国你几乎可以看到所有不同民族的食物。在某些情况中，美国人把外国的食物视为最爱。美国人喜爱意大利的披萨，墨西哥的玉米饼和中国的春卷，但是这些东西的美国版味道却不很道地！ As with any large country, the U.S.A has several distinct regions. Each region boasts its own special style of food. Visit the South and enjoy country-style cooking. Journey through Louisiana for some spicy Cajun cuisine.Take a trip to New England and
美国十大特色美食
美国十大特色美食 1.特大啃 Turducken是最具创意的美国本土食物。先是拿一只火鸡，然后塞只鸭子在它肚子里，再往鸭子肚子里塞只鸡，最后往鸡里塞些香肠和熏肉，经过2-3小时的油炸，这道非常美国化的美食，就这样完成了。有些美国人根据自己的口味还会加入一些溶化的奶酪制品。这道菜通常是在美国的一些盛大节日里才吃得到，像美国的国庆日（每年7月4日）、感恩节、圣诞节。 本网注明“来源：美国饮食特点”的所有作品，版权均属于居外，未经本网授权不得转载、摘编或利用其它方
2.布法罗辣鸡翅 Buffalo Wings将鸡翅放到油中炸至焦脆，沾着熔化了的Blue cheese一起吃，其放在盘底的蔬菜，因吸收了鸡翅上掉下的油，再普通的蔬菜也变美味了。这道菜既不油腻，又很有口感！ 本网注明“来源：美国饮食特点”的所有作品，版权均属于居外，未经本网授权不得转载、摘编或利用其它方
3.科布色拉 吃了那么多油腻的食物后，再怎么喜欢油炸食品的美国人，也会觉得腻的，因此，这时来一份色拉是最好不过的了。不过美国人吃的色拉同欧洲人吃的绿青菜加红番茄是完全不同的。美国人做色拉时，是一定要有足够的肉类种类和重量，而且还要有牛油果和奶酪。一盘很好的Cobb Salad的原料主要有熏肉、炸鸡肉、牛油果、鸡蛋粒、蓝奶酪等各种觉得能放进去的都可以加入。 本网注明“来源：美国饮食特点”的所有作品，版权均属于居外，未经本网授权不得转载、摘编或利用其它方
4.冰激凌 1937年，来自麻洲的Ruth Grave在她做的黄油曲奇中加入了切碎的巧克力。由此发明了世上最好吃的曲奇饼干。虽然曲奇饼干在美国人民的生活中颇受欢迎，但美国人依然总是设想能把这美味发展得更好。后来，因为一个人的懒惰而成就了巧克力曲奇冰激凌，即把混好了的要做曲奇饼干的生面切成小块，拌在冰激凌里，即成了Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream！ 本网注明“来源：美国饮食特点”的所有作品，版权均属于居外，未经本网授权不得转载、摘编或利用其它方
英国的饮食文化与习惯
The history of Britain has played a large part in it's traditions, it's culture - and it's food. The Romans for instance brought us cherries, stinging nettles ( to be used as a salad vegetable), cabbages and peas, as well as improving the cultivation of crops such as corn. And they brought us wine! The Romans were prolific road builders, these roads allowing for the first time the easy transportation of produce throughout the country. The Saxons were excellent farmers and cultivated a wide variety of herbs. These were not used just for flavour as they are today but were used as bulk to pad out stews. The Vikings and Danes brought us the techniques for smoking and drying fish - even today the North East coasts of England and Scotland are the places to find the best kippers - Arbroath Smokies, for example. "Collops" is an old Scandinavian word for pieces or slices of meat, and a dish of Collops is traditionally served on Burns Night (25th January) in Scotland. York Ham is a great favourite with the British housewife. The first York Ham is said to have been smoked with the sawdust of oak trees used in the building of York Minster. The Normans invaded not only our country but also our eating habits! They encouraged the drinking of wine and even gave us words for common foods - mutton (mouton) and beef (boeuf) for example. In the 12th century the Crusaders were the first Britons to taste oranges and lemons whilst in Jaffa in 1191-2. Britain has always been a great trading nation. Saffron was first introduced into Cornwall by the Phoenicians at a very early date when they first came to Britain to trade for tin. Derived from the dried and powdered stigmas of the saffron crocus, saffron is still used today in British cooking. The importation of foods and spices from abroad has greatly influenced the British diet. In the Middle Ages, wealthy people were able to cook with spices and dried fruits from as far away as Asia. It has been said however that the poor people were lucky to eat at all! In Tudor times, new kinds of food started to arrive due to the increase in trade and the discovery of new lands. Spices from the Far East, sugar from the Caribbean, coffee and cocoa from South America and tea from India. Potatoes from America began to be widely grown. Eccles Cakes evolved from Puritan days when rich cakes and biscuits were banned.
