My friend Ann and I go to the restaurant on Sundays. As a rule we are hungry and order a hearty meal.
Usually I order mushroom or chicken soup, and my friend orders ox-tail soup or vegetable soup. Very often we ask for freshly baked Italian bread or Russian rye-bread. For the main course as a rule I have meat dishes, such as roast-beef, steamed rissoles or pork chop. As for my friend, she prefers fish dishes, that is why she orders stuffed pike, sturgeon in jelly or fish assorty.
For a drink we have lemonade or mineral water. If we go to the restaurant in the evening, we choose dry white wine or champagne.
Then comes dessert. We have fruit or ice-cream, coffee or tea. After paying the bill we go for a walk because it is very useful after a hearty meal.
