Famous Sweets

Famous Drinks

  1. Afternoon Tea/ High Tea: Whilst they both include tea as a beverage, afternoon tea includes delicate pastries, little sandwiches, scones and cakes. Whereas high tea is typically a more wholesome meal of meat, potatoes and vegetables served after a long hard day at work.
  2. Cream Tea: One of the eight times of the day to enjoy tea, cream tea refers to scones with jam and clotted cream, served with tea. Although a cream tea is traditionally enjoyed in the afternoon, it differs from afternoon tea in that it does not include finger sandwiches or pastries.
  3. Whisky/Whiskey

Food trivia

  • Sausage is soft here in UK.
  • Jellied eels are a traditional English dish that originated in the 18th century, primarily in the East End of London.
  • The rumour about Brits drinking warm beer is very misleading. It’s merely that traditional ales are served at cellar (not room) temperature, rather than being chilled, which merely disguises the taste.

Other famous foods

  1. Pasty
  2. Porridge
  3. Sunday Roast
  4. Scotch egg
  5. Chicken tikka masala
