Hot tea in a charming pot, butter curls, and warm scones, spread w/ strawberry jam and
Devonshire cream. Brits enjoy their tea w/ a spot of cream. (High tea is something else, again).
That’s what started my weight problem! My husband and I used to order up tea every year we went to London. The results are not pretty and we’re still trying to fight off the fat!!!
Thanks a lot, Liz, lol!
If you go to a chic hotel or even Richoux of London, you’ll be rewarded with the most wonderful food. English food at its finest. Try the Worsley.
