AFTERNOON TEA SANDWICH
If you're traveling in the UK, there's one thing you cannot miss: The British Afternoon Tea. Afternoon Tea is a ritual that was established in Britain around 1840, and normally includes three courses served in the late afternoon. The first course consists of sandwiches, followed by scones with clotted cream and jam, and the third course is usually biscuits or cakes.
