Отрывок из книги
There is nowhere better in the world to enjoy the quintessentially English custom of afternoon tea than London, the most vibrant and exciting capital city in the world. London has the most amazing selection of venues where you can indulge yourself and partake of anything from the most time-honoured afternoon teas to the newest twists on tradition.
Tea can be a late lunch or an early supper, in which case high tea fits the bill perfectly, with savoury items to add a bit more substance. You may be looking for a conventional afternoon tea of scones with lashings of clotted cream and fruity jam, luscious cakes, and finger sandwiches—without crusts, and there has to be cucumber. Perhaps you fancy a more savoury repast, or are searching for a tea designed with the carnivore in mind, or where there is whisky, gin, beer, or sake as well as tea to drink. Not forgetting that tea is often a family outing, there are plenty of venues which will appeal to parents and children alike. Maybe you are after a variation on a theme, whether it be an afternoon tea bus tour of London, an Alice in Wonderland–inspired afternoon tea, or a tea where your pooch can enjoy his or her own delicious doggy tea.
