Food is a major part of every culture． After all, everyone needs to eat! But each country has its own traditions on what people eat and when．
Egypt
Egyptians commonly start the day with a drink, sometimes going with bread． Breakfast can be eaten any time after this but before the day’s main meal． In the past, this main meal was served at around 3:00 p．m． But now people work longer hours and eat when they get home at around 6:00 p．m． Dinner parties are held later, around 9:00 p．m．
Most Egyptian meals include bread or ice, cooked vegetables and beans or meat．
France
France is known for its fine cooking, and its people take food seriously． Most eat three meals a day at fixed times and never snack between meals． Breakfast is a light meal of bread and coffee． They eat lunch at around 1:00 p．m． and a dinner with multiple courses after 8:00 p．m．
The French consider eating a social activity． Eating alone is hard to see, and eating while doing something else is unheard-of． The French take time to enjoy their meals and visitors should do the same．
Brazil
Like the French, Brazilians usually eat a light breakfast． Lunch, the largest meal of the day, usually consists of meat, rice, potatoes, beans and vegetables． Between 6:00 p．m． and 8:00 p．m．, people enjoy a smaller meal with their families．
Brazilians don’t mind eating a hurried or light meal and sometimes buy food from street carts (手推车)． But they always finish eating before walking away．
The United States
American’s ancestors came from many countries, so American eating habits differ． Some take time to prepare and eat a hot breakfast． Others take a bagel (面包圈) while rushing out the door or just skip breakfast． For lunch, most Americans eat a sandwich or leftovers． Traditionally, families got together for a large evening meal around 6:00, but now busy schedules force many families to eat in turns． American restaurant servings tend to be huge． But you don’t have to finish them; taking leftovers home is common．
