Russian Meals

Breakfast "завтрак" 

The traditional "Russian breakfast " consists of a porridge, toast with butter and cheese and coffee or "cola-cao". But these days a lot of people have only a bowl of cereal with milk. The children at school often have a "packed" breakfast at break time in the morning, between 10:10 and 11:15 – an apple, a sandwich, chips and fruit juice.

Lunch "обед"

Lunch is usually between one and three o´clock. We often eat fish, meat, vegetables, salad … and bread. It is the most important meal in the day.

Teatime "полдник" 

At teatime (between half past five and half past six), we have sweets and cakes or a cheesecake with milk or tea. But these days cakes have got a lot of sugar and aren’t very healthy.

Dinner "ужин"

Dinner is usually between six and eight o’clock in the evening. Some families watch TV while having dinner. We often eat mashed potatoes, meatballs, fried fish, rice or macaroni.
