     The most famous meal in Britain could be the traditional breakfast. What makes it so popular with British
people and visitors alike?
在英国最有名的一餐可能就要数早餐了。为什么它会这么受英国人和游客的喜爱呢?
英式早餐全餐(British Breakfast),比其他国家的正餐还要丰富,绝非只有牛角包配果酱咖啡的欧式早餐(Continental Breakfast)可比。这份早餐俗称the fry-up,因为里面多是煎炸的食物:香肠(sausage),腌肉(bacon),蘑菇(mushroom),番茄(tomato)。除此之外,还有土司(toast),英式烤饼(scone),茄汁焗豆(baked beans)等食物。
吃英式早餐,鸡蛋是不能少的。鸡蛋通常有四种烹调方法。
Fried 煎
英国人煎蛋,通常只煎一面,蛋黄生生的,俗称“太阳蛋”,也就是美国人口中的 sunny side up
Scrambled 炒
Boiled 煮
是把鸡蛋连壳直接放进水里煮,熟透的叫做hard-boiled,半熟的叫做 soft-boiled
Poached 炖
是把蛋去壳后用温水煮,煮出来的蛋内生外熟,形状不一。
  英式早餐茶
Accounts of its origins vary. Drinking a blend of black teas for breakfast is indeed a longstanding British
custom. The practice of referring to such a blend as "English breakfast tea" appears to have originated
not in England but America, as far back as Colonial times.
英国人喝早餐茶的习惯事实上是英国长久以来的传统。只是“英国早餐茶”这一说法却不是从英国而来的,而是从殖民地时期从美国而来。
English Breakfast tea is a black tea blend usually described as full-bodied, robust, and/or rich, and
blended to go well with milk and sugar, in a style traditionally associated with a hearty English breakfast.
It is the most common style of tea in Britain.
英国早餐茶是由集中红茶以一定比例拼配而成,是一种口味醇厚,香味浓郁的饮品。适合搭配牛奶和糖。与多姿多彩的英式早餐相得益彰。是英国最常见的一种茶。
