I think it is so important to eat a big breakfast so you have enough for the rest of the day. A few years ago I spent part of the summer in France with other young people from all over Europe. I realised that breakfast vary a lot. It was something I hadn't thought about before — I knew that countries have national and general tastes vary from place to place, but somehow, I thought that breakfast was pretty similar everywhere. How wrong I was! I normally eat or perhaps toast, but there were Italians there who just wanted to eat chip biscuits and drink coffee. And I really liked the French habit of drinking hot chocolate with their breakfast, as I normally only drink cocoa late at night before bed. And when the Germans offered me and cheese to eat with my bread, I was very confused, until I realised that our traditional English breakfast consists of and bacon and toast, so it’s really not so different after all!

A recent survey has discovered that 64 per cent of under-20-year-olds snack between meals. How does this compare with other countries? 58.7 per cent of young people snack in Germany, 53 per cent in France and only 40.7 per cent in Spain. What are these young Brits eating?

They are very thin slices of potato, fried in oil then covered in salt or other salty flavours. British people are mad for crisps and they like them in a huge variety of flavours. Some of the most popular flavours include cheese and onion, salt and vinegar, steak and onion, roast chicken, tomato ketchup, and cheese and bacon Chocolate It isn’t only savoury snacks that British people love.
