British food has traditionally been based on beef, lamb, pork, chicken and fish and generally served with potatoes and one other vegetable. The most common and typical foods eaten in Britain include the sandwich, fish and chips, pies like the Cornish pasty, trifle and roasts dinners. Some of our main dishes have strange names like Bubble & Squeak and Toad-in-the-Hole.
The staple foods on Britain are meat, fish, potatoes, flour, butter and eggs. Many of our dishes are based on these foods.
Fish and chips is the classic English take-away food and is the traditional national food of England. It became popular in the 1860´s when railways began to bring fresh fish straight from east coast to the our cities over night.
The fish (cod, haddock, huss, plaice) is deep fried in flour batter and is eaten with chips. Traditionally, the fish and chips are covered with salt and malt vinegar and, using your fingers, eaten straight out of the newspaper which they were wrapped in. Now-a-days small wooden forks are provided and the fish and chips are wrapped in more hygienic paper.
In the north of England, fish and chips is often served with “mushy peas” (mashed processed peas).
Britain is a tea-drinking nation. Every day we drink 165 million cups of the stuff and each year around 144 thousand tons of tea are imported. Tea in Britain is traditionally brewed in a warmed china teapot, adding one spoonful of tea per person and one for the pot. Most Britons like their tea strong and dark, but with a lot of milk.
Tea breaks are when tea and biscuits are served. The traditional time for tea breaks are at 11:00 (Elevensee) and 4 p.m. in the afternoon.
Colombian cuisine is very diverse and varies depending on the different regions of Colombia. In some areas you will find specialties like roasted ants or guinea pigs while in other areas Colombians wouldn´t even touch those dishes.
Colombia is not a paradise for vegetarians as the Colombian diet includes a lot of meat. In the coastal areas you will find a good variety of fish, lobster and seafood often prepared with a sauce made out of coconut milk. The offer of fresh fruit is overwhelming and many of the varieties you have probably never heard before. Depending on the areas you can have for lunch ajiaco, bandeja paisa with arepa, arroz con coco, and the diverse offer of fresh fruit in Colombia is immense and many of the different types have probably not been tried or seen by most of the people outside the tropics.
Colombian coffee is famous all around the world and is the traditional drink in Colombia. Unfortunately most of the high quality coffee will be exported and some people say that the coffee you find in Colombia is not of such a high quality. When they ask you if you would like a “tinto” don´t always expect a glass or red wine. In Colombia it is the name for a light and sweet coffee as well. A cup of coffee is offered to the guests too your home, at the office, at the cafeterias and restaurants, and somewhere you go and it´s used in breakfast, lunch or dinner.
