English Breakfast
The days always start well with a good breakfast, and this is something that the English have very well thought out. But the English breakfast is very different from an ordinary breakfast.
An English breakfast has bacon, white beans, black pudding, eggs, tomatoes, fried mushrooms and baked potato.
Maybe it's a little different from what you're used to eating for breakfast. But it is the most traditional way to start the day.

The famous English tea.
At around 5 in the afternoon, you cannot miss tea time to try this very famous tradition of the English people whose history dates back to the years of the Industrial Revolution.
When the workers came home after a long day of work, they arrived very hungry and their wives would wait for them with a cup of tea and a sandwich to calm their cravings. Working conditions in England today have changed, but the tradition remained.
