 Introduction
A meal is an eating occasion that takes place at a certain time and includes consumption of food.
The names used for specific meals in English vary, depending on the speaker’s culture, the time
of day, or the size of the meal.

01
 Development
Meals have been traditionally prepared by women in a home kitchen (Painting from the circle of
Jean-Baptiste de Saive, 1563)

Although they can be eaten anywhere, meals typically take place in homes, restaurants, and
cafeterias. Regular meals occur on a daily basis, typically several times a day. Special meals are
usually held in conjunction with such occasions as birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and
holidays.

 Breakfast is the first meal of a day, most often eaten in the early morning before
undertaking the day’s work. Some believe it to be the most important meal of the day.
The word breakfast literally refers to breaking the fasting period of the prior night.

Breakfast foods vary widely from place to place, but often include carbohydrates such as
grains or cereals, fruit, vegetables, protein foods like eggs, meat or fish, and
03
beverages such as tea, coffee, milk, or fruit juice, juices often taken first of all. Coffee,
milk, tea, juice, breakfast cereals, pancakes, waffles, sausages, French toast, bacon,
sweetened breads, fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, baked beans, muffins, crumpets and toast
 with butter, margarine, jam or marmalade are common examples of Western breakfast
foods, though a large range of preparations and ingredients are associated with breakfast
globally

 Variations of breakfast

Full breakfast : A full breakfast is a breakfast meal, usually including bacon,

sausages, eggs, and a variety of other cooked foods, with hot beverages such as
coffee or tea, or cold beverages such as juice or milk. It is especially popular in
the UK and Ireland, to the extent that many cafés and pubs offer the meal at any
time of day as an “all-day breakfast”. It is also popular in other English-speaking
countries.

In England it is usually referred to as a ‘full English breakfast’ (often shortened to

‘full English’) or ‘fry-up’.Other regional names and variants include the ‘full
Scottish’, ‘full Welsh’, ‘full Irish’ and the ‘Ulster fry’.

The full breakfast is among the most internationally recognised British dishes,
along with such staples as bangers & mash, shepherd’s pie, fish and chips and the
Christmas dinner. The full breakfast became popular in the British Isles during the
Victorian era, and appeared as one among many suggested breakfasts in the home
economist Isabella Beeton’s The Book of Household Management (1861). A full
breakfast is often contrasted (e.g. on hotel menus) with the lighter alternative of a
Continental breakfast, traditionally consisting of tea, milk or coffee and fruit
juices with bread, croissants, or pastries.

Instant breakfast : “Instant breakfast” typically refers to breakfast food products

that are manufactured in a powdered form, which are generally prepared with the
addition of milk and then consumed as a [Link] instant breakfasts are
produced and marketed in liquid form, being pre-mixed. The target market for
instant breakfast products includes consumers who tend to be busy, such as
working adults.

04
And at the last but not the least
Champagne breakfast : A champagne breakfast is a breakfast served with
champagne or sparkling wine. It is a new concept in some countries and is not
typical of the role of a breakfast.
It may be part of any day or outing considered particularly luxurious or indulgent.
The accompanying breakfast is sometimes of a similarly high standard and
include rich foods such as salmon, caviar, chocolate or pastries, which would not
ordinarily be eaten at breakfast or more courses. Instead of as a formal meal the
breakfast can be given to the recipient in a basket or hamper.

Lunch is a meal typically eaten at midday; it varies in size by culture and region.
The word lunch is an abbreviation for luncheon, whose origin relates to a small
snack originally eaten at any time of the day or night. During the 20th century the
meaning in English gradually narrowed to a small or mid-sized meal eaten at
midday. Lunch is commonly the second meal of the day after breakfast.
Significant variations exist in different areas of the world. In some parts of the
UK it can be called dinner or lunch, with the last meal called tea.

• Variations of lunch

Packed lunch : A packed lunch (also called pack lunch, sack lunch or bag lunch in
North America, or packed lunch in the United Kingdom, as well as
the regional variations: bagging in Lancashire, Merseyside and Yorkshire,) is a
lunch prepared at home and carried to be eaten somewhere else, such as school, a
workplace, or at an outing. The food is usually wrapped in plastic, aluminum foil,
or paper and can be carried (“packed”) in a lunch box, paper bag (a “sack”), or
plastic bag. While packed lunches are usually taken from home by the people who
are going to eat them, in Mumbai, India, tiffin boxes are most often picked up
from the home and brought to workplaces later in the day by so-called
dabbawallas. It is also possible to buy packed lunches from stores in several
countries. Lunch boxes made out of metal, plastic or vinyl are now popular with
today’s youth. Lunch boxes provide a way to take heavier lunches in a sturdier
box or bag. It is also environmentally friendly.

Meal deal : Another variation of lunch is the meal deal, this is a meal often
bought from a store and contains the following: a sandwich or pastry, a bag of
chips, salad or fruit and a bottled drink. Meal deals are a staple of many Western
high-street supermarkets and convenience stores; they are generally offered at a
deal price and are highly convenient for the busy working person. Some stores are
now adding premium meal deal items and salads to their meal deal inventory.
Critics, however, criticise the meal deal for increasing the levels of single-use
plastic waste in circulation and persuading people to buy more food than they
originally intended or wanted – contributing to the growing obesity crisis.

 Dinner usually refers to a significant and important meal of the day, which can be the
noon or the evening meal. However, the term dinner can have many different meanings
depending on the culture; it may mean a meal of any size eaten at any time of the day.
[23][24] Historically, it referred to the first large meal of the day, eaten around noon, and
is still sometimes used for a noon-time meal, particularly if it is a large or main meal. For
example, Sunday dinner is the name used for a large meal served after the family returned
home from the morning’s church services, and often based on meat that roasted while the
family was out, and this term is still often used to signify that Sunday dinner is special
even if no longer preceded by attendance at church.

The evening meal can be called tea when dinner, which is generally the largest of the day,
is eaten in the middle of the day.

 Variations of dinner

Full course dinner : A full-course dinner is a dinner consisting of multiple

dishes, or courses. In its simplest, English-based form, it can consist of three
07
to five courses, such as appetizers, fish course, entrée, main course and dessert.
The traditional courses and their order vary by culture. In the Italian meal
structure, there are traditionally four formal courses: antipasto (appetizers), primo
(the “first” course, e.g., a pasta dish), secondo (the “second” course, e.g., fish or
meat), usually accompanied by a contorn (a side dish), and dolce (“sweets”, or
dessert).[25]

Many traditions conclude a formal meal with coffee, sometimes accompanied

with spirits, either separate or mixed in the coffee.
