英国的饮食 英国人的饮食习惯可谓独树一帜。早晨起床前要喝一杯较浓的红茶，俗称：“被窝茶“。早餐以熏咸肉、烩水果、麦片、咖啡、鸡蛋、面包等为主；午饭较为简单，有时只吃三明治；晚饭则比较讲究，习惯吃些烤鸭、烤羊腿、牛排等菜肴与口味比较甜的点心。 英国人在菜肴的烹调上也很有特色，用油较少，清淡，调料很少用酒。调味品如盐、醋、胡椒粉、色拉油、各种酸果等，都放在餐桌上由客人自己选用。烹调方式上以清煮为主，蒸、炸、烩为辅。稍加分析就不难看出，英国人的饮食理念虽利弊兼有，但利多于弊，比如爱饮茶、饮食清淡以及清煮的烹调方式等值得国人借鉴。
英式菜也是世界公认的名流大菜，它历史悠久、工艺考究，很得世人青睐。与此相关，英国人在用餐上也是很讲究的。一般的英国家庭一天通常是四餐：早餐、午餐、午茶点和晚餐。有极个别地区的人还要在晚上九点钟以后再加一餐。英国人讲究口味清淡，菜肴要求质好量精，花样多变，注意营养成分。他们喜欢吃牛肉、羊肉、蛋类、禽类、甜点、水果等食品。夏天喜欢吃各种水果冻、冰淇淋，冬天喜欢吃各种热布丁。进餐时一般先喝啤酒，还喜欢喝威士忌等烈性酒。
早餐 传统的英式早餐有煎培根、香肠和煎土司。这叫做“煎食”。但现在多数人都很忙，没办法每天都吃这种丰盛的早餐，所以现在英国最流行的早餐种类有： 一碗玉米片加牛奶； 一些优格加新鲜水果； 土司涂果酱，通常在早餐时喝茶、咖啡、或果汁。 英国人仍在周未享用传统的英式早餐。各个旅馆或饭店，尤其是大家所熟知的家庭式旅馆(B&B's)皆有供应传统的英式早餐。
午餐 英国人的午餐很快就解决，不像意大利人，通常午餐需要三十到四十分钟，许多英国人午餐只吃三明治，或许是因为三明治是英国发明的。通常是早上在家做好三明治，然后在午餐时间食用，三明治是英国人的便当。同样受欢迎的午餐为烤马铃薯。
晚餐 晚餐是一天中的主餐，且通常有两道菜--肉或鱼加蔬菜，之后有甜点（也就是布丁）。英国小孩都知道在吃布丁前要把肉和蔬菜吃光光。 冷冻熟食在英国相当普遍，几乎每个家庭都有微波炉，且通常英国人（尤其是学生会买一份冷冻熟食，放进微波炉，边看电视边吃--这叫做吃“电视晚餐”。）国外食物也相当受英国欢迎。超市里摆满了琳琅满目的印式、中式、意式、希腊式和日式食物——事实上是来自世界各地的食品。晚餐后通常要来上一杯茶（当然要加牛奶！）。
