Kate: Wow, Alex! Have you a real British “fry-up” ?
Alex: Pardon, “fry-up”? What is it?
Kate: Oh, we call a “fry-up” a traditional English breakfast.
Alex: Oh I see. at home. Please, sit down and to the bacon with while they are still hot. To be honest, it’s the first time I’ve scrambled eggs ; we usually have boiled or fried ones. Oh, Kate, be careful, the pan is very hot, don’t .
Kate: Mmm… Everything is yummy, the eggs are well-cooked. We scramble eggs or fry them, rarely boil them. Some people like eggs. And gourmets are crazy about egg. In everyday life we seldom have a fry-up, many people, especially, children have a bowl of cereal or muesli with milk or porridge early in the morning. Some British people eat toasts with butter and jam (, , or ) or marmalade (a type of jam made from oranges) and a cup of tea. Tastes differ, you know. But personally, I like a fry-up, which may also include baked beans, sausages, fried bread, fried tomatoes, and mushrooms. It gives you energy for a longer period of time.
Alex: Absolutely agree. That’s why my mum takes care of us and prepares a meal for breakfast.
Kate: Cool! What does she usually cook?
Alex: My favourite breakfast is thin pancakes with jam or honey. Sometimes mum bakes cabbage or meat pies. But mostly we have fried eggs with sausages or boiled eggs with some salt or mayo or porridge made of different grains: rice, , and oatmeal. Followed by a cup of tea or cocoa. Adults can’t start their day without coffee.
Kate: Sounds good. Alex, what’s that on your finger?
Alex: I while slicing the bacon. But it’s OK. Don’t worry.
Kate: of .

Kate: ❌, do you need to take ❌ to school?
Alex: Thank God, nope! I don’t like the smell of food in my backpack. The gymnasium canteen offers us a wide range of dishes on the menu. We are lucky to have ❌ of two courses and ❌. We normally have various kinds of soup for ❌, for example, beetroot soup called “borshch” cabbage soup called “shchy” and chicken or beef broth (bouillon). ❌ is often presented by mashed potatoes with sausages or pork chops or well-stewed fish with some salad. For dessert, we may have a sweet bun with a cup of tea or a glass of kampot.
Kate: Kampot? What’s that?
Alex: Oh, well… erm it’s a popular homemade drink, usually made with red berries, stewed in sugar and water. This is served cold. Do you have anything similar?
Kate: I don’t think so. Perhaps, American popular smoothie is slightly similar.
Alex: Smoothies are popular in Belarus as well, but it is completely different stuff, I think. Where do you usually ❌?
Kate: Like you at school, but I take a packed lunch that consists of a cheese or meat sandwich, a packet of crisps, a piece of fruit, and a drink. Sometimes I go to our school canteen. It offers lots of stuff to try: fish fingers with broccoli and macaroni or roasted chicken legs with jacket potatoes accompanied by a mixed salad. ❌, I prefer a raspberry rice pudding or a cornflake tart.
Alex: How appetising that sounds. My mouth is watering. Do you want another helping?
Kate: Why not? It’s incredibly tasty.
Alex: Oh, really? Help yourself, please!
Kate: Mmm… Thank you, Alex, ❌. It’s definitely made my day at the very start.
Alex: My pleasure.
