Dinners from Around the WorldReadings & Exercises

ESL Pals

In Mexico, dinner is a much smaller meal than lunch. Dinner is eaten at around 8pm. The style of eating and mealtimes is different from city to city, but two things are certain. Firstly, a typical Mexican family meal is a time for gathering and sharing, and secondly there will always be tortillas! The food in Mexico is delicious!

Dinner time in Mexico

ESL Pals

One of the most famous dishes that people like to eat at dinner time in Mexico are tacos. To prepare tacos you need a large frying pan to fry meat. Then, add different spices and salt and pepper. Then, add tomatoes. Once the meat is cooked, heat the taco shells in the oven for 5 minutes. Then, put the taco shells on a plate, and offer the toppings in small bowls so people can choose what they want in their taco.

Dinner time in England:

In England, dinner is the main meal of the day. It is usually eaten between the hours of 5pm and 6pm. Dinner is a time for families and friends to eat together so they can share stories and experiences. But it is not common to share food, like in Mexico. There are many traditional English dishes but the most popular is fish and chips.

ESL Pals

How to make fish and chips:

People can use different types of fish but it is common to have cod. To prepare cod, you need to make batter in a big bowl. Batter is the crispy layer around the fish. To make the batter you need to mix together flour, eggs, baking powder, milk, salt and pepper. Add the fish to the batter, then fry the fish in oil for 5 minutes. To cook chips, you need to chop potatoes then fry them in oil for 10 minutes. Serve on a plate with sauces of your choosing.

ESL Pals

Dinner time in the USA:

In the United States of America it is common for some people to buy dinner from fast food restaurants instead of preparing something at home. This is because modern life in the USA is busy, so generally there is less time to spend cooking a meal at home. There are many different restaurants in the USA which offer a large choice of meals. However, the most famous meal from the USA is a hamburger.

ESL Pals

How to make a Hamburger:

Burgers are made by mixing meat, egg, onion, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl. After mixing, separate them into burger shapes. To cook burgers, heat a frying pan with olive oil. Then place the burgers into a frying pan, and fry the burgers for 5-10 minutes. When cooked, serve the burgers inside a bread bun. Some people like to add tomatoes, lettuce and ketchup. And, it is very common to serve hamburgers with a portion of chips.
