The Dinner

It's the big meal of the day for all Englishmen. The work has been completed. In the quiet of the house or outside in a restaurant is a relaxed lunch and special, almost a ritual in which the family is ready to share and enjoy the main meal of the day. This ritual does not lack those who will even change your clothes, or dress more elegantly, even.
Before the dinner, in many places (home and restaurants) is often an aperitif, with a glass of wine, beer or other soft drink). This is usually done on the eve of place goes to dinner (home or restaurant).
At this meal, apart from the appetizer, it is common to take two courses, or a great entree accompanied by side dishes (salad, vegetables, potatoes, etc.)..
Apart from the typical dishes of English cooking, it is noteworthy that the British are several centuries internationalising their dishes. So it is often the case, from time to time, the introduction not only of European specialties (French, Italian ...) but the rest of the world (China, India, American ...), which provides a variety and really exotic attractive to the food culture in the UK.
As in Spain, each region or area in the UK has its own specialties and traditions, although some dishes very popular throughout the country.
