Once in a lifetime: Afternoon Tea in London

Deep-fried fish, stuffed sheep's stomach, meat pie: One might deny the British a certain amount of culinary finesse. However, when the grand cafés in hectic London take the teapots off the shelves and fire up the ovens in the afternoon, a far more elegant gastronomic spectacle awaits their guests. Around 4 p.m., it's time for afternoon tea, without any frying oil or minced meat. And although this ritual can be an expensive experience, tourists line up.
