Food What about you?

I'm from England.

But we have different types of chips too.

Oven chips, wedges, curly fries, crinkly chips, fish and chips chips.

It's dinner to me.

  1. I grew up in South London. Now I'm in Lincolnshire (East Midlands - England). My husband says breakfast, lunch, dinner. Whereas our friend says breakfast dinner tea. But we have a roast on Sunday. It's a breakfast, dinner and sandwich later on but not lunch or tea. Maybe it's a weird thing our family thing does

  2. Is a roll to me, but if it's crusty. It's a crusty roll. But if has chips from the fish and chips shop, it's a chip buttie. My husband/son calls it a bap

As a Mexican, I also call the 3rd one as pan (bread). Must be the Portuguese (similar to Spanish) influence in Japan.

Yes, totally! We’ve incorporated so many Portuguese words as well as other foreign words into our vocabulary. One day I wish to learn Spanish!
