  21 A meal at a self-service restaurant

Gretel had lunch at a self-service restaurant yesterday. She collected a tray 1 and joined a queue 2. (People queue patiently in England!) There was plenty of food on display. There was some steak 3, but Gretel didn't take any of it. Instead, she chose some fish and chips. Then she looked for a sweet. She wanted some apple-pie, but there was none left, so she helped herself to an ice-cream instead. after that, she took a cup of coffee and put it on her tray. She collected a fork, a knife and a spoon and paid at the cash-desk. Then Gretel carried her tray to a table and had her meal.

There are plenty of self-service restaurants in London and the food is quite cheap. There aren't any waiters or waitresses, so you don't have to leave a tip 4. Gretel has got used 5 to English food, but she often misses good Viennese cooking!
