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.
