7 Russian translation of English words denoting meals

breakfast  - breakfast;
brunch  - decomp. late breakfast;
lunch  - lunch (usually around noon, during the working day), lunch;
dinner  - lunch (main meal during the day, often in the evening);
supper  - dinner

The equivalence of the translation from English into Russian of the words denoting meals is relative due to differences in culture:
Breakfast  exists in two varieties: continental and English - with a stable and regular, meager, from the point of view of Russian traditions, menu. Russian breakfast  - this is a completely unlimited variety of dishes, varying in different social and territorial groups, and just from family to family.
   Lunch is even more confusing because it lunch, and dinneror rather neither lunchnor dinner, which does not coincide either gastronomically, in the set of dishes, or in time ( lunch  at 12.00 - too early dinner  - at 20-21.00 too late for lunch).
   Dinner is and dinner, and supper. Thus, the entire harmonious system of "transfers" "crashed into everyday life," as Mayakovsky would say.

15 Games, songs, stories in English on the topic: Food (flash)

On the differences in the perception of food in English and Russian

Words with the same meaning often have different additional meanings in different languages. Often this additional meaning is expressed in the “reckoning” of the same concept to different classes of phenomena due to the unequal function that these concepts perform in the life and life of different peoples. So, for a Russian bran  - livestock feed, for the Englishman bran  - A dish that is usually served for breakfast. Russian fucked up  - a dish of folk cuisine and is associated with peasant life, while the English is identical to it custard  - a widespread type of dessert, as common as our compote, or jelly  (there is no equivalent for this latter in English cuisine and, accordingly, in English). For us sour cream  - An everyday food product and an almost obligatory supplement to many types of soups, for an Englishman sour cream  - it is sour cream, that is, in fact, a spoiled product, etc.

According to the materials of the book Barkhudarova L.S. "Language and translation: Questions of general and particular theory of translation."


Concepts delicious - tasteless in English

In modern English, the concept of a negative assessment of food (Russian tasteless) is almost completely detailed and lexically poor.
   The main way to express this concept is to combine not good [bad], moreover, the use of this particular form, rather than a sharper in the emotional-evaluative connotations of the mono-lexical expression of the same concept bad  [bad], apparently not by accident. In modern English society, as a rule, it is not customary to speak negatively about food, this does not meet cultural and ethical requirements, therefore this concept has remained lexically undeveloped, undetailed.
   The concept of a positive assessment of food - “tasty” - is presented in the language of modern English and American literature much brighter, it is more detailed, lexically diverse. Along with the word good  [good], phrases with words are used to express the term “tasty” delicious  [delicious], nice  [cute], excellent  [a great], perfect  [perfect], fine  [beautiful], splendid  [excellent], appetizing  [appetizing], beautiful  [great], savory  [spicy].
   Interesting observations were made in the study of the social background of the statement, as well as the context of the situation. It turned out that the expression of the assessment of food is characteristic mainly for wealthy people, for representatives of the middle and upper strata of society, prone to "re-evaluation" in this matter ( overstatement) The poor, representatives of the lower strata of society, are much less likely to express their attitude to food and tend to “underestimate” it ( understatement) Both of these phenomena are easily explained: for representatives of the more affluent layers of society, eating is not just a natural function necessary to sustain life, but also a certain sociocultural ritual, an important phenomenon of social life for which the quality of food is essential (just remember the famous "saddle" lamb "at the ceremonial meetings of the Forsyth family).
   Evaluation of food (or meal) among the wealthy sections of society is distinguished by lexical diversity and richness of colors. In describing the food of the poor, other criteria and lexical means are used, which are limited in most cases to words good  [good], tasty  [delicious], nourishing  [nutritious].
   The main advantage in the food of the poor is its nutritional value, "solidity", "materiality", that is, just what is conveyed by words nourishing  [nutritious] and tasty  [delicious]. It’s hard to imagine an assessment of the food of the poor with words like exquisite  [exquisite] delectable  [delicious] even delicious  [very tasty].
Ways to express a positive or negative assessment of food can also be caused by factors such as age, gender, level of education of the speaker. The revaluation trend is characteristic of young people.

About english breakfast today

   Market analysts in the UK announced the sad news - the popularity of the famous English breakfast reached its lowest point in history.
   A full English breakfast is also called frying, since it is fried egg, bacon, sausages, mushrooms and tomatoes that are key components of this dish. Many people think that high-quality fried crispy bacon is the highlight of breakfast.
The rhythm of modern life does not allow the British to enjoy all the delights of a morning culinary workout. There is not enough time to cook the fry, and more and more people prefer the English breakfast - continental.
   However, even a croissant with jam and a cup of coffee does not always have time. Often in the early morning you can see people running to the metro station and swallowing a sandwich along the way. Some courageously get to the workplace on an empty stomach and already there absorb their "finished breakfast". This type of breakfast consists mainly of chocolate bars with oatmeal or cornflakes and fruits.
   It is such a breakfast in a working chair, according to experts, that I’m ready to dance on the coffin lid of a traditional English roast.

Foreign enemies
   Its main enemies came to Britain from abroad - the Swiss muesli, the French croissant mentioned above and the American muffin.
   Europeans, in turn, look at the dying wail of frying with surprise. For many foreigners, English breakfast is a test for the stomach. It seems to them too satisfying for the morning hour and too fat for their liver. And we can’t even talk about vegetarians.
   Meanwhile, since 1997, every ninth cafe specializing in traditional English breakfast has disappeared without a trace.
   There are also twin brothers at the English breakfast - the classic Irish and Scottish versions. Each of them differs in some details, but they are all alike, their sad fate is similar.
   While roasting has not finally gone down in history, we are in a hurry to inform her recipe.
   Ingredients (per serving): 1 egg ( egg), 1 sausage ( sausage), 2 strips of bacon ( rashers of bacon), 3 champignons ( champignons), 1 tomato ( tomato), 1 slice of bread ( slice of bread), if desired, beans in tomato ( beans in tomato sauce)
   Fry sausages, bacon and tomato, cut into slices. Fry the mushrooms in vegetable oil. Next, cook fried eggs with fried eggs. Toast bread. Put everything on one plate.
