In this type of restaurants customers are served by the waiters. Here you will be offered a menu with a good choice of food and beverages. For dinner at full service restaurants you will pay from $10.00 in a less expensive restaurant to $ 50.00. People eat, talk and enjoy music. They may have a business lunch or dinner in this type of restaurants. It usually takes people from an hour to an hour and a half to have a meal and leave a full service restaurant. The tip is not included in the bill, but a waiter will expect a tip of 15 % of a bill. Eating Habits in the USA While in most countries of Europe people eat with a fork in their left hand and a knife in their right hand, Americans generally eat with a fork in the hand with which they write. They use a knife for cutting, and then they lay it on the plate. Some kinds of food such as hamburgers, french fries and pizza are eaten with hands. Napkins are usually placed on the lap. Putting elbows on the table is impolite. There are three meals a day: breakfast (at about 7.00 or 8.00 am), lunch (between 12.00 and 2.00 pm) and dinner. Breakfast is a very light meal, usually consisting of a toast and a cup of tea or coffee. Lunch is usually eaten at office hours and is a light meal, too. People either go to a cafe or a fast food restaurant, or eat the lunch brought from home. Dinner tends to be the most substantial meal of the day; it usually includes a main course of meat or fish, accompanied by side dishes. On Sundays a so-called brunch is common, which is in fact a combination of breakfast and lunch. жүктеу/скачать 2,62 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
