The second meal of the day is lunch. People usually have it at work. As a rule, lunch is a light meal.

I have lunch at the school canteen. For lunch I have vegetable salad and a sandwich or two with sausage or cheese, or sometimes a couple of frankfurters and a slice of brown bread. I drink a glass of tea or juice.

Dinner is the biggest meal of the day. Some people have dinner at work, others have it at home when they come from work.

On week days it is difficult to gather the whole family for dinner, because people finish work at different times. But on Sunday we always have dinner together.

Our Sunday dinner usually begins with an appetizer: a little salad, or Russian salad, a piece of herring, or perhaps some pickled or marinated mushrooms, tomatoes or cucumbers.

The main course of the dinner is soup, or broth. Broth with meat pies is very tasty.

For the second course we have roast meat or stewed meat or fried or boiled potatoes, or sometimes macaroni or spaghetti. I like roast chicken and mashed potatoes for dinner. Many people like to have fish for dinner.

For the dessert we drink a glass of mineral water or lemonade or juice. Sometimes we have fresh and canned fruit.

Supper is the last meal of the day. Supper must be a light meal, because it isn’t good to eat much in the evening. The proverb says, “After dinner sleep a while, after supper walk a mile.”

We usually have a cup of tea and sandwiches for supper. We also may have biscuits, rolls or buns, or pies with marmalade or jam. Meat pies or pies with cabbage and eggs are also very tasty.
