in england, it much consist of rolling hills. But in the south it is more flat. They also have islands that are surrounded by water. This relates to what they eat because where it is flat they can grow crops and raise cattle, and the islands that are surrounded are more likely to eat fish and other things from the oceans.
ReplyDeleteFor the 2nd question, England's geography does have an impact on what people eat. For example, Englishmen eat a lot of dough type foods because of the abundence of grain. Another are potatoe staples because Ireland is right next to England, and the English also recieve cockles(mussles) which come from the coast of Wales.
ReplyDeletefadwa,
ReplyDelete1-Apart from cakes on birthdays, few special foods are eaten at major secular ceremonies, although such ceremonies involve toasting and drinking alcohol. On Shrove Tuesday, which is both a secular and a religious occasion, many people eat pancakes.

ReplyDelete1. to make the Toad-in-the-Hole you need free-range eggs, flour, milk cold water
grain mustard, salt and freshly ground black pepper, herby pork sausages
sliced prosciutto, pancetta, Serrano ham or thin streaky bacon and
dripping or lard. the dish is bake 25-30 minutes as a pie. Wrap each piece of skinned sausage meat in a piece of cured ham. arrange the sausages in the batter.
Yes, there are similar foods. For example, apples, chips, pizza and etc. But, they also have very different types of fooods. So if we were to go to this country and open their refridarator, we will see some similar food.
ReplyDelete- I think I spelled refriderator wrong. haha

#1 Valerie, Fish and Chips.
ReplyDeleteThis meal consists of cod hoaddock or other fishes, deep fried with butter. The chips are fried potatoes with malt vinegar. This meal is normally a take out food rather than in the resurant. Fish and chips is usually eaten on the British Isles and not in Ameriaca.
2. Discuss England's geography and how it relates to what they eat.
ReplyDeleteEngland has a temperate climate, with plentiful rainfall all year round, although the seasons are quite variable in temperature. However, temperatures rarely fall below 23 °F or rise above 86 °F . The prevailing wind is from the south-west, bringing mild and wet weather to England regularly from the Atlantic Ocean. It is driest in the east and warmest in the south, which is closest to the European mainland.

in england, it mostly consist of rolling hills. But in the south it ishas more flat lands like plateaus almost. They also have islands that is surrounded by water. This relates to what they eat because where it is flat they can grow crops and raise cattle, and the islands that is around waterr is more likely to catch & eat fish and other sea food.

ReplyDelete2) england is located right around water therefor making it easy to get sea food. Fish is very good source of protein and vitamins needed to live a healthy life style.People in England eat a lot more fish then Americans. Americans should look to them as a good example.
