Greenwich mealtime?
It’s noon Greenwich Meantime: 12.00 in the UK, 7.00am on the US east coast and 5.30 pm in India. But is it lunchtime in London, breakfast time in Boston and dinner time in Delhi? Mealtimes around the world are as different as Japanese sushi and Swiss cheese.
1. People in Spain have dinner late. They eat at about nine o’clock or ten o’clock in the evening.
2. People in the UK have a big breakfast, with bacon and eggs, and then they don’t eat lunch.
3. Workers in France have a long lunch break. They have between one and two hours to eat.
4. In the USA, a lot of people just have half an hour for lunch, and eat a sandwich in the office.
5. In Switzerland, people start work at 7.00 am and have breakfast in the office.
6. And in Japan, a lot of managers have dinner in the evening, and then go back to the office.
