'Tea' means two things. It is a drink and a meal! Some people have afternoon tea, with sandwiches, cakes, and, of course, a cup of tea.
The evening meal is the main meal of the day for many people. They usually have it between 6.00 and 8.00, and often the whole family eats together. As a rule it is a complete dinner.
On Sundays many families have a traditional lunch. They have roast meat - beef, lamb, chicken, or pork - with potatoes, vegetables, and gravy. Gravy is a sauce made from the meat juices.
People often have take-away meal – you buy the food in the restaurant and bring it home to eat.
