Japanese eat a morning meal (朝食), a midday meal (昼食) and an evening meal (夕食). Many people in other countries eat these meals too. So three meals a day is common everywhere, but sometimes the food is different.
In Canada, many people skip breakfast on weekdays. Some people only have a very light breakfast on weekdays. For example, some people just have coffee. Some people just drink a glass of juice. Some people eat fruit. Some people have a muffin and a coffee.
A muffin and a coffee is, perhaps, the most common weekday breakfast in Canada. Many people eat breakfast on the way to work. They buy a muffin and a coffee at fast-food restaurants including: Tim Hortons, Coffee Time, and Second Cup.
On weekends, sometimes Canadians eat big breakfasts. Click this link to see some popular breakfasts in Canada: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mc_sensei/sets/72157607825427625/

The picture below is a picture of me having lunch at my aunt's house.
Look at the table. Many Canadians serve each dish in a separate bowl or on a separate plate and put the dishes in the middle of the table. Everyone serves themselves. This is very convenient.

Ham, relish, mac n' cheese, coleslaw and egg salad with buttered french bread. Did I get it right?
ReplyDeleteLooks good, I'm hungry.
I think some Canadian and American students could read the part on table manners too.
You got it mostly right. No egg salad. It's marshmelow fruit salad: Marshmellows, fruit cocktail, coconut, and sour cream - my aunt's recipe.
ReplyDeleteAs for table manners, I could use a refresher course myself!
