This quintessential British experience is also embraced by the public and visitors alike, and many establishments now offer sumptuous sweet treats in a gilded tiered stand to satisfy your mid-afternoon craving.
Afternoon tea. This vegan restaurant excels at infusing Cannabidiol CBD , a natural compound found in hemp plants, into truffles. The hemp loose leaf tea is also worth a mention. In those days, soldiers were recommended to drink tonic water that contains quinine, a bitter-tasting traditional medicine for malaria.
To make the drink more palatable, they cleverly mixed gin, sugar, lime juice with tonic water. The drink soon became popular and found its way into the homes and daily lives of British families. Another good alternative is the Gin Bar at Holborn Dining Room High Holborn, WC1V 7EN — with over types of gin and 30 tonics to explore, this is certainly one fun place to pair different brands and find your favourites.
London has a long history in the act and art of brewing — it was once a powerhouse of craft beer in the 18th and 19th centuries, but the industry had mostly collapsed by the 21st century, with breweries being bought out or moved to other parts of England. In , it was said that only 14 breweries were left in London. Thankfully, the craft beer movement has rejuvenated the industry and they are now over breweries across the city today. Craft beer.
You can find good and also iffy Indian food across London, but the place to go for Indian and Bangladeshi food that rivals the best in any other global city is found in Brick Lane. Cockles are a delicious shellfish cooked and seasoned with malt vinegar and white pepper.
Today, this delicious seafood meal is a traditional Welsh staple. It is usually served with bacon and laverbread not to be confused with actual bread at breakfast. In recent times, cockles have been packaged and sold in sealed packs to be eaten on the go; I definitely saw them at Waitrose when shopping in London. If you love seafood, you should try this unique London food.
A close second on my list of favorite London foods is the delightful protein bomb called a Scotch Egg. A scotch egg is a simple snack made of a hard-boiled egg wrapped in sausage meat and coated with breadcrumbs. It is baked or deep-fried and served hot with a dipping sauce. Scotch eggs were originally served as a dinner dish along with gravy and mustard sauce. Scotch eggs are mostly served at picnics and fairs and are also packaged and sold at supermarkets and corner shops.
Pasties are made by filling a shortcrust pastry circle with uncooked meat and vegetables, then folding and sealing the edges before baking it. The filling is made with beef, diced potatoes, turnip, and onions and is seasoned with salt and pepper. Pasties are made with various fillings, and you can pick whichever you prefer when buying from a Pasty Shop.
This is also known as sticky date pudding and is my favorite British dessert. Wrap your tastebuds around this: sticky toffee pudding consists of a moist sponge cake made with chopped dates and drenched in a buttery, creamy toffee sauce. It is mostly served with vanilla ice cream or vanilla custard.
This iconic British dessert has a very light, fluffy texture that collapses in the mouth. It is indulgent, and if you are sweet-toothed, you should definitely try it. I first had sticky toffee pudding in Scotland sacrilege! If you want to try making it at home, I have a sticky toffee pudding recipe you can try. This is another scrumptious traditional English dessert.
It is made up of softly whipped cream, marinated strawberries, and crumbled crisp meringue. For those familiar with British desserts, it looks a lot like trifle.
