What they eat in different countries of the world. We destroy stereotypes. What they eat for dinner in different countries of the world Breakfasts lunches dinners in different countries of the world

Why is this topic so popular? Yes, because most often it is we - mothers - who have to solve this puzzle every day - what to cook? I know that many people, including me, are most exhausted not by the need to constantly prepare food, but by daily thinking about what to cook, what we didn’t eat yesterday and the day before, and what the children, my husband, and I will eat.

We asked five heroines from different countries (Spain, Russia, Sweden, Germany) to talk about their menu for the week. The result is five interesting stories from which you can draw inspiration and new recipes with a big spoon.

Menu for a week in Spain

Yulia Redkina started in our project on Wednesday. Julia has been living in Spain, in the city of Santander, for 2.5 years with her husband and two children, 13 and 8 years old.

Wednesday

Breakfast: Semolina porridge with raspberry jam. Semolina in Spain is sold large and tasty. And adding jam to porridge - I don’t even know where this family tradition came from. I have been served porridge with jam since childhood.

Dinner: Vegetable salad, soup with meatballs. Our Spanish neighbors love this soup and are ready to swallow spoons. They say: it’s very tasty! They don’t cook such soups themselves.
Dinner: BBQ ribs.

Thursday

Breakfast: Egyptian omelette. I call it that because I spied the recipe in Egypt. There, in hotels they prepare an omelette for breakfast right in front of you. It is prepared simply: finely chop a tomato, ham, onion, a pinch of cheese, beat it with eggs - and add it to the frying pan.
Dinner: Chicken soup (as for kids). In Spain, in addition to broiler chickens, they sell homemade ones, from which the broth turns out to have the same taste as my grandmother cooked!

Dinner: Pasta with cutlets. Cantabria is a meat-producing region, and even store-bought minced meat makes excellent homemade cutlets.

Friday

Breakfast: Fried eggs.
Dinner: Salad, which we call "Bunny". Ingredients: cabbage, carrots, a little salt, sugar and vinegar. This is my mother’s recipe, she called this salad “bunny”. We were still finishing yesterday's cutlets.
Dinner: Carbonara pasta. We love Italian cuisine very much.

Saturday

Breakfast: Porridge with jam.
Dinner: Cabbage soup
Dinner: Shashlik from my husband. My husband makes excellent barbecue.

Sunday

Everyone ate whatever they wanted all day. We ate the leftover cabbage soup, made sandwiches with pate and cheese, and washed it down with wine.

Monday

Breakfast:"Balls" with milk. This is our code name for any breakfast cereal.
Dinner: Salmon soup.
Dinner: Tomatoes. It's tomato season in Cantabria. Here they are incredibly huge and tasty; we eat them with coarse sea salt and olive oil. Fried chicken with vegetables. I always bake chicken in the oven with garlic. When chicken with garlic is cooked, the house begins to smell like New Year.

Tuesday

Breakfast: Boiled eggs and sandwiches.
Dinner: The neighbors were preparing seafood paella and invited us. By the way, in Spain it is considered that eating paella for dinner is bad form. I don’t know exactly why myself. This is how it happened historically. Paella is eaten for lunch and with large families. On weekends, in old fish restaurants they specially order a large table for the whole family and go eat paella. No, of course, many people order it for dinner too. But traditionally, as an elderly Spanish woman told me, it is eaten at lunch.
Dinner: Buckwheat with sausages. Buckwheat is sold here in Russian stores. If it’s not there, then sausages and pasta, like in the school cafeteria, also work great.

- Julia, don’t you miss Russian cuisine in Spain?

We don’t get bored because we cook and eat Russian cuisine almost all the time. The same way we cooked in Moscow, we cook here too. We’ll just slightly diversify our menu with Spanish dishes.

Menu for a week in Russia

Liliya Moshkova lives in Kaluga with her husband and two children (8 years old and 2.5 years old).

Saturday

Breakfast: Dumplings with potatoes and mushrooms, salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and onions (all vegetables are from our dacha), tea with sweets and cookies.

Dinner: Noodle soup with veal broth, vegetable salad. Kefir pancakes (I used expired milk) with apricot jam. Basket cakes and straws (store-bought) with tea. My husband loves sweets very much, and so do the children, so there is always something “for tea” in the house.

Dinner: Fried pike perch fillet with vegetable stew (zucchini, eggplant, onions, carrots, tomatoes. All vegetables are our own). Apples for dessert.

Sunday

Breakfast: Semolina porridge, tea with cookies, chocolate and cheese.

We were at the dacha, so all the dishes were cooked over a fire. Baked mackerel, perch and chicken wings. Baked and fresh vegetables (tomatoes and peppers). Baked potato with green onions. And, of course, beer and tea from a thermos.

Monday

Breakfast: Fried potatoes with mushrooms (my neighbor at the dacha treated me to boletus and boletus mushrooms). Tea with cookies.

Dinner: Leftover fish baked at the dacha yesterday, baked potatoes, fresh cucumbers and tomatoes. Tea with cookies and pancakes.

Dinner: Grilled sausages, potatoes. For dessert - bananas, cottage cheese.

Dinner: Greek salad, boiled eggs, sausages.

Wednesday

Breakfast: Tea with sandwiches and gingerbread.

Dinner: Cabbage soup with cauliflower.

Friday

Breakfast: Millet porridge, tea with cookies and marshmallows.

Dinner: Pasta with basil sauce (tomatoes, zucchini, basil and garlic) and grated cheese.

Dinner: Oven-baked perch, vegetable stew, Greek salad and melon for dessert.

The menu turned out to be seasonal, because we widely used vegetables from the dacha. We grew something ourselves, and treated our neighbors to something. We bought watermelon three times, melon once. Since August, we have been trying to go to the dacha every week and cook there over a fire. Dishes from the fire taste better, and I personally benefit from the fact that my husband always cooks over the fire. And then we eat this food for two days, and I take a break from the kitchen - hurray!

The second family is from Russia, as it happens, also from Kaluga. Katya Sadovnikova lives with her husband and two daughters, 6 and 8 years old.

Monday

Breakfast: Hot sandwiches with sausage and cheese. Children - cocoa with milk, adults - freshly ground coffee from a coffee machine.

Lunch: In the garden and at school - rice milk porridge, sandwich, tea. At work - coffee and a bun.

Sunday

Lunch gradually turning into dinner: Our parents came to visit us. We prepared manti from pork and lamb, a salad of crab sticks, and red fish. We drank red wine and apple and black currant compote. For dessert there was melon.

Our weekly menu turned out to be somewhat monotonous, but absolutely honest. You may notice that we eat a lot of eggs because we keep our own chickens (we live in our house outside the city). It so happened that the only fruit this week was melon. But usually we also buy apples, bananas, tangerines and kiwis.

Menu for a week in Sweden

Anastasia She has been living in Gothenburg for 8 years with her husband and two sons (2 years and 4 months). Nastya shared with us not only her menu for the week, but also tricks on how to cook quickly (she spends no more than 30 minutes on cooking), tasty, varied and cheap.

Our family is multicultural, Russian-Dutch-Swedish-Korean, and this affects everything. Although our food basket is not very different from the average Swedish one, except that Swedes buy more frozen food, fortunately the quality here is high. This is my little thing - to cook from fresh ingredients as much as possible without spending a fortune on food (food in Sweden is much more expensive than in Germany).

I don’t cook dishes for more than one or two times, I don’t stand at the stove for hours, so I choose quick recipes with a cooking time of 15-30 minutes. I often cook in the oven. I cook soups upon request; this is an infrequent and winter dish for us, more often puree soups.

This means that if our breakfast is approximately the same (sandwiches with butter, cheese, ham, sometimes country cheese, vaguely similar to cottage cheese, if the child wishes - pancakes), then the other two meals and an afternoon snack are always a field for imagination. There are two children in the family, the eldest son is almost two years old, the youngest is still on breastfeeding. It is not customary here to feed small children sweets.

Those who are older are given sweets, cookies, and cakes once a week and on holidays. But children get plenty of fruit; we may not have milk at home, but there will always be tangerines, bananas and apples.

To avoid always cooking the same thing, and also to avoid spending a fortune on food, every Monday I look through the offers from the stores and make a grocery list. Every week any supermarket offers goods from the same groups (dairy, meat, vegetables, etc.) at special prices, this determines what I will cook with this week. Then all I have to do is find or remember interesting recipes. I would also like to note that the eldest child has lunch in the garden on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. These are the days when I most often go for a walk, meet with friends or go shopping, which means I don’t have lunch at home.

So here's what we had on the menu this week, excluding breakfast. I marked with stars the dishes that my son tried for the first time.

Monday

Dinner: Fried glass (rice) noodles with pork and crispy vegetables.

Afternoon snack: Banana pancakes*.

Dinner: Minced chicken cutlets* with buckwheat, stewed with butter, salad of cucumbers, tomatoes, arugula and cheese.

Tuesday

Dinner: Noodles.

Afternoon snack: Melon.

Dinner: Cod with pea sauce and boiled potatoes.

Wednesday

Afternoon snack: Bananas and blackberries.

Dinner: Meat balls with tomato sauce and pasta.

Thursday

Afternoon snack: C loyki* (unsweetened dough, filled with mascarpone cheese, dried apricot and strawberry puree).

Dinner: Hollandaise puree* (mashed potatoes mixed with chopped sauerkraut and fried bacon bits) and Vienna sausages.

Friday

Afternoon snack: Leftover puree. Sweden has a tradition of Friday treats, so we traditionally eat something especially tasty for afternoon tea. This Friday we feasted on freshly baked bread with nuts and dried berries (3.8 euros per loaf, the delicacy is not cheap) and cream cheese with white mold*.

Dinner: Pork steaks with seasonal vegetable stew (garlic, leeks, carrots, kale, tomatoes, red bell peppers).

Saturday

Dinner: Salmon with potatoes, cucumber and tomato salad.

Dinner: Leftover steak and stew.

Sunday

Dinner: Chicken with mustard-lemon marinade, creamed cauliflower.

Afternoon snack: Pears and grapes.

Dinner: Taco. This is the most hassle-free dish that suits everyone. We usually prepare it for the arrival of large companies, where, as always, there will be one vegetarian, another with an allergy to something, and the third simply does not like some product. Minced meat is fried with spices (instead of minced meat there can be pieces of chicken, fish, seafood). In separate containers, cut into cubes absolutely any vegetables that are in the refrigerator, except, perhaps, raw potatoes (onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, cabbage, carrots, pickles - everything!), grate the cheese, make guacamole (sauce on avocado base, takes less than 5 minutes to prepare). Next, everyone puts whatever they want into thin pita bread, adds sauce and rolls up the flatbread. Outwardly, it resembles shawarma, the difference is in how the protein is prepared, and also in the fact that the composition and quantity of ingredients is determined by the eater himself. If there are vegetables left after the meal, you can mix them and make a salad; if there are flat cakes left, you can make lazy khachapuri with them in a frying pan.

- Nastya, don’t you miss Russian cuisine?

I don’t miss it because I can, if I want, cook Russian cuisine. But, due to cultural, geographical and other reasons, it is labor-intensive and time-consuming. The most accurate definition of Russian cuisine is leisurely. There are dumplings in the freezer, I make them in large quantities on the evening of Christmas Eve before Catholic Christmas, this is such a strange tradition at our house.

Menu for a week in Germany

Bagdat Baganz has been living in Berlin for 17 years with her German husband and two daughters (6 years old and 3 years old).

Monday

Breakfast: Oatmeal, tea, coffee.

Dinner. Sasha had lunch at school. Yulia and I ate chicken soup at grandma's. My mother is 80 years old, but she still cooks finger lickin' good! Mom lives in a neighboring town, and the girls and I visit her every other day. Usually grandma prepares soups, which she gives us in jars for the girls.

Dinner: Casserole with minced meat. I usually make minced meat casserole with vegetables, macaroni and cheese.

Tuesday

Breakfast: Sandwiches and coffee, milk for children. I didn’t have time to cook porridge for breakfast, so I had to settle for sandwiches. Children don’t really like sandwiches; they are used to always eating porridge for breakfast.

Dinner: Leftovers from yesterday's casserole with minced meat.

Dinner: Rice, chicken fillet, vegetables.

Wednesday

Breakfast: Corn porridge (children love it very much), tea.

Dinner: Rice with fish.

Dinner: Spaghetti Bolognese.

Thursday

Breakfast: Oatmeal, coffee, milk for children. I add either coconut flakes, chia seeds, or fruit slices to my oatmeal.

Dinner: Sasha had lunch at school. Yulia and I ate spaghetti. In general, spaghetti is a favorite dish for our children, as probably for all children.

Dinner: Chicken nuggets, potatoes with rosemary according to my husband's recipe, vegetable salad. My husband always cooks potatoes himself - he cuts them into slices, adds a whole mixture of spices and bakes them in the oven; I can’t make them so delicious. Sometimes we buy nuggets ready-made, sometimes we make them ourselves.

Friday

Breakfast: Semolina porridge, tea and coffee. The girls love to eat semolina porridge at their grandmother’s, I also sometimes cook it for variety.

Dinner: Nuggets, sandwiches.

Dinner: Salmon with pasta, zucchini. The recipe is as follows: boil the pasta, fry the zucchini over low heat, add salmon and pasta and a little soft cheese like Philadelphia. Keep it on the fire for a while, but do not let it boil. Very fast and tasty. Prepares in just 20 minutes.

Saturday

Breakfast: Omelette, buns with various spreads, sausage, cheese. On weekends we have breakfast without cereals. For the omelette, my husband prepared Oktopus-Würstchen - cut-up sausages that look like octopus. Children love them. On Saturday we usually have breakfast late, so we often skip lunch.

Dinner: Hawaiian pizza for me and the kids. My husband ate the 4 cheese pizza.

Sunday

Breakfast: Omelette, scrambled eggs.

Dinner: We had a festive lunch - at a steakhouse. Our eldest daughter Sasha went to first grade. In Germany, this is a very important day for the whole family - the child goes to school! We celebrated with a large family, with my family and my husband's parents. We booked a table in a restaurant in advance and spent a long time deciding which restaurant to go to. And since we are all meat eaters, we settled on a steakhouse.

Dinner: We ate so much at the steakhouse that at home we only ate a salmon sandwich and drank tea.

I have been living in Germany for 17 years, but I only started cooking at the age of 25, when I moved from my mother to a rented apartment. I was studying and working then. After two weeks on sandwiches and deners, I realized that I was slowly destroying my stomach. And she started cooking.

But back then I didn’t cook very diversely. Mainly salads and meat. In 2009, we began to live with my then future husband, and all cooking responsibilities fell on my shoulders. Alex is a police officer, and at the time he worked in the department for combating organized crime. He left early and arrived late. In principle, I didn’t cook much; Alex ate at work. In 2011, Alexandra was born to us, and I plunged into the world of soups and porridges. In 2013, Julia was born. It's amazing how different our girls' eating habits are. Sasha is a typical Kazakh child, as we laugh in the family, food without meat is not food for her. And Julia is a typical German child, she doesn’t like soups and will always prefer sausages to meat.

My husband is an omnivore, but also a meat eater. We don’t really like fish, and I try, but so far it’s not very effective, to cook it at least once a week.

I taught the girls to eat porridge for breakfast; their favorite porridge is oatmeal. Girls eat porridge without sugar. Unfortunately, I have a very bad habit of not having breakfast. The main thing for me in the morning is a cup of coffee.

In general, we eat quite a variety of foods, we like to dine in restaurants and try new cuisine. We also don’t shy away from going to McDonald’s, but it happens very rarely, and children look forward to it like a holiday. Yes! After meals, children are allowed sweets, fruit or ice cream.

- Bagdat, don’t you miss Russian cuisine in Germany?

We don't miss you. I regularly cook Russian dishes; my girls love borscht. My husband loves cabbage rolls. We even have manta rays.

Guys, we put our soul into the site. Thank you for that
that you are discovering this beauty. Thanks for the inspiration and goosebumps.

Everyone has heard for sure that “breakfast must be eaten and dinner must be given to the enemy.” True, in reality, not everyone is able to stuff themselves with something other than a cup of tea in the morning, because they can’t, don’t want to, or are late. But this doesn't change things. Breakfast should be and preferably tasty. Here's what people around the world eat for breakfast.

Australia

In Australia, the day often starts with a Vegemite sandwich. I have already told you that not all visitors like this substance based on brewer’s yeast, but Australians really value it.

In Brazil, they will happily have breakfast with ham and cheese sandwiches, as long as the bread is tasty. And definitely coffee with milk.

There are many people living in China, and breakfasts vary dramatically in different regions. But Dim Sum (Dim Sum) is found everywhere. It’s just that in every new place, and just in different taverns, restaurants and other eating places, it will be different and special.

The Swiss eat a thing called Birchermüesli. Essentially, this is muesli, to which fresh or dried fruits are added to taste (for example, grated apple). And this thing is diluted not with water, but with yogurt.

People in Pakistan love hearty breakfasts, such as Nihari, a beef stew and curry dish.

If you come to Bogota, in the morning they will feed you Changua - milk soup with green onions and the obligatory egg.

Nasi Goreng - fried rice with egg. Sometimes meat and seafood are added. It is prepared with soy sauce and is generally considered something of a hallmark of Indonesian cuisine.

The Germans love something like a platter: sausage, ham, cheese, fresh rolls, butter, jam, Nutella, in general, more of everything tasty.

Cubans like a lighter breakfast: coffee with milk, eaten with toast. Moreover, toasted bread is often dipped in coffee.

A typical English breakfast is a meal for the whole day: scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon and beans.

Israelis eat shakshuka: eggs, hot peppers, onions, seasonings. They eat it with pita or bread.

The French love pastries. They start their day with various types of croissants and coffee.

Pandesal is simply a loaf made from yeast dough. My grandmother also baked such donuts when there was leftover dough from the pies. Only in the Philippines do they eat them with coffee with milk, but in the village we just washed them down with milk; there was a terrible shortage of coffee in the USSR.

Polish breakfast is similar to German: buns served with various fillings and toppings. Cheese, sausage, butter, chocolate, jam will do.

Idli and Vada - the first is a rice cake, as healthy as it is tasteless, but vada is made from a mixture of flour of various cereals, as well as peas. The resulting donuts are fried in oil and the result is a very tasty thing.

Coffee with whipped cream and delicious fresh bread, what could be tastier :)

The Japanese eat the same thing for breakfast as for lunch, dinner, afternoon snack, and so on. This is miso soup, rice, various pickles and, of course, fish.

In Morocco, everything is simple and tasty: bread with jam, cheese or butter.

"Oatmeal, sir." Whether you like it or not, eat it. Oatmeal is healthy and nutritious.

Egg omelette roll. You can put vegetables or meat inside - depending on your mood and personal preferences.

The Portuguese love croissants with coffee, and also bread with jam and cheese.

They say that foreigners believe that we always eat cheesecakes or pancakes for breakfast. Well, when it comes to business, everyone usually brews coffee or tea, cooks a couple of sausages or dumplings and off to their exploits :)

Mexicans eat chilaquiles - fried corn tortillas dipped in hot sauce with scrambled eggs and various toppings.

A good Turk appreciates variety in breakfast: bread, cheese, butter, olives, eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, jam, honey, and kajmak. And also sujuk and the obligatory tea.

Of course, America is a country of emigrants, so every family has its own traditions. But in general, most people eat eggs, pancakes, bacon or granola.

Alas: in first place in popularity among the residents of this large country are fast food dishes. Hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and French fries make up the daily diet of a typical American, and we are talking not only about dinner, but also about breakfast and lunch. In any supermarket, you will notice that most carts are filled with cola and other types of soda, frozen food (pizza, lasagna, vegetable stews) and long hot dog buns. However, many citizens in large cities such as Los Angeles and New York are literally obsessed with healthy eating. Their evening menu consists of raw vegetables and fruits, white meat (chicken and turkey) and eggs. If you suddenly want something less boring for dinner, you can always go to a restaurant with some rich national cuisine, for example, Chinese or Italian.

Mexico

During dinner in this country, there is always at least one dish made from corn on the table: corn tortillas, fajitas, chiapos or burritos. They are served with salad or boiled vegetables as a side dish. For meat food, they offer several options for tomato-based sauces and the obligatory slice of lime.

Brazil

Since in Brazil they eat dinner quite late (10–11 pm), part of the population (mostly young people) limits themselves to a light dinner of a bun, a slice of cheese or ham and a cup of coffee. A full traditional Brazilian dinner consists of feijoada - a thick soup with rice, beef and pork, served in a clay pot. Another common option is boiled yam (a potato-like root vegetable). All this is washed down with light beer or international cola.

Italy

Italian cuisine is famous for its high-calorie and very tasty dinners. A typical Italian dinner can be divided into three parts. First, it is a light appetizer - antipasto of 6-8 ingredients (various vegetables, meat and fish), celery in a creamy sauce or caprese salad. Secondly, the main course is lasagna, pizza, spaghetti or paella. Finally, glazed fruit is served for dessert. The meal is accompanied by wine and contorno - a huge vegetable plate.

Spain

In addition to the national paella, for dinner the Spaniards have chicken with paprika and tomatoes, mashed potatoes with baked peppers, or boiled lentils with onions and local chorizo ​​sausages. A typical Spanish dessert is fruit platter or almond ice cream. The menu is complemented by vegetable salads, cheese plates and lots and lots of wine.

England

The evening meal is considered the main meal of the day in many English families. Therefore, the dinner turns out to be very satisfying, varied and consists of three parts. First, pureed vegetable soup is served, then the main course (baked fish, fried chicken with a side dish of potatoes, legumes or vegetables). Dessert includes fruit, ice cream, baked goods (cheesecake, milk pudding) and a cup of tea.

China

What is served at the evening meal in China depends greatly on the region where the dinner is taking place. There are 8 regional cuisines in the Middle Kingdom, each of which offers its own specific dishes. These can be Chinese dim sum dumplings, Peking duck, rice noodles with seafood, roast pork in sweet and sour sauce and much more. The only invariable attributes of any dinner are hot oil and soy sauce - all provinces of China are unanimous on this issue.

India

Indian dinners are characterized by an abundance of fat and hot spices, even in vegetarian dishes, a huge amount of fried ingredients and a minimum of raw vegetables. A traditional evening meal consists of naan, lentils, rice, a main course of chicken with onions and raisins, and a dessert of semolina, almonds and orange zest. Such food always seems a little heavy for European stomachs, but in fact it is all very tasty.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is he who makes us healthy and strong. The morning of every person who wants to be healthy begins with breakfast. However, the foods that people eat for breakfast vary greatly depending on the country and region. Some people prefer scrambled eggs, others drink coffee with a sandwich, and others cannot do without oatmeal. In European countries such as Spain, France and Italy, the first meal of the day is a piece of bread or biscuit and strong coffee. Meanwhile, in Korea, breakfast is quite hearty and looks more like lunch. Below we will look at photos of classic breakfast options around the world.

China

What people eat for breakfast in China varies by region, but fried breadsticks and warm soy milk are enjoyed by millions. Hot soups are also popular. They can serve everyone’s favorite rice or noodles with various additives. It could be chicken, meat or at least vegetables. It must be said that such a breakfast is very satisfying, and it differs little from subsequent meals. On Sundays, homemade breakfasts are more varied. They are supplemented with pies, pancakes and buns, which are usually deep-fried.

Australia

Residents of this country love Vegemite so much that they are ready to consume it every day. They also eat a lot of fruit and sometimes treat themselves to a hearty English breakfast. Since most parts of Australia have warm weather, many people prefer light breakfasts. This is probably why the hearty breakfast that the British love so much has never become a tradition in this country.

Brazil

Strong coffee and milk go well with ham, cheese and bread. Also served in the morning is a thick soup with meat and black beans.

Colombia

Breakfast in this country revolves around the arepa. This is a dense, lightly sweetened corn pie that can be served with butter, eggs, meat, or jam.

Cuba

The usual breakfast for Cubans is tostada. It's bread and butter on the grill. It is dipped in coffee with milk.

England

A typical English hearty breakfast includes eggs, sausage, bacon, beans, mushrooms, and cooked tomatoes. However, the British allow themselves such heavy food no more than once a week. Many people choose the famous oatmeal or hard-boiled eggs. Drinks include tea, coffee or juice.

France
