不同的国家有不同的传统饮食和体育运动。你对传统的英国饮食和体育运动有所了解吗?
英国的食物很不同于中国的食物。在传统上,英国的食物基本是牛肉、羊肉、猪肉、鸡肉和鱼,并且常配以土豆和另一种蔬菜。在英国吃的最为普通和典型的食物包括三明治、鱼和薯条,还有馅饼如康沃尔馅饼、屈莱弗甜食和烘烤类主餐食物。一份传统的英式早餐由鸡蛋、培根、香肠、油炸面包和蘑菇加一杯咖啡组成。然而,如今一份典型的英式早餐更多时候会是一碗麦片,一片烤面包、橙汁和一杯咖啡。在英国,有很多当地人爱喝酒。英国苏格兰威士忌具有悠久的历史,举世闻名。
英国人非常喜欢运动。在这个国家,高尔夫球很受欢迎。英国被视为高尔夫的故乡,并且这个国家有数百个世界一流的高尔夫球场。人们非常喜欢的另一项运动是足球。英超一直被认为是世界上最好的联赛,苏格兰超级联赛也相当成功。
