A typical British meal for dinner is meat and "two veg". We put hot brown gravy, traditionally made from the juices of the roast meat (but more often today from a packet!) on the meat and usally the vegetables. One of the vegetables is almost always potatoes.

This traditional meal is rarely eaten nowadays, a recent survey found that most people in Britain eat curry! Rice or pasta are now favoured as the 'British Dinner'.

Vegetables grown in England, like potatoes, carrots, peas, cabbages and onions, are still very popular.

The Sunday Roast Dinner
Sunday lunch time is a typical time to eat the traditional Sunday Roast. Traditionally it consists of roast meat, different kinds of vegetables and potatoes with a Yorkshire pudding. The commonest joints are beef with hot white horseradish sauce, lamb with green mint sauce, pork with sweet apple sauce or chicken which is also popular.

This main meal of the day is often eaten at midday instead of in the evening.
