I don't know how old you are - but some of those questions appear slightly offensive to me - as if we may not be a civilised country at all!

1 - the meal patterns are the same as most western countries - ie breakast, lunch and dinner or supper in the evenings. Traditionally lunch was the main meal of the day, but nowadays may consist of a sandwich at your desk. In most homes I suspect the main meal of the day would be the evening meal - either 'tea' 'supper' or 'dinner', depending on what your family calls that main meal!

In my home it is me - my husband is useless at cooking - and I love to cook. In my grown up daughter's home it is her partner, as he is a better cook than she is.

I have no idea what you are asking about traditions - if you are American or Canadian - your food traditions are based mainly on British ones, I believe.

As for the kitchens question... well, put it this way, we don't cook huge vats of porridge on open peat fires any more.

Nawww, you didn't really 'offend'...

It's just that as most Ozzies will have come from a UK background (or more latterly a European one!) your homes are in the main designed like ours! Think modern kitchens in most homes! All mod cons

PS Go and have a look in the Cuisine forum here, there are lots of Scottish recipes and info about food traditions etc!
