The Afternoon Tea:
The British upper class introduced afternoon tea in the 1840s, and it quickly became a beloved part of English culture.
This light and elegant meal is traditionally served with a range of fine teas. The food always includes finger sandwiches with the crusts cut off, a selection of delicious cakes, and scones topped with jam and clotted cream. A modern-day addition is to serve a glass of prosecco alongside the meal.
