Sophie's UK travel note is looking for Edinburgh, Scotland. Traditional British afternoon tea is definitely not to be missed. This The Scottish Cafe & Restaurant is next to the National Gallery of Scotland. If the time to visit the perfect art museum coincides, you can try it. Afternoon tea is served from 2.30 pm to 4.30 pm. English afternoon tea originated from the seventeenth century, a duchess of England's daily afternoon party starving invented, in addition to snacks, it is a former noble dining culture. English afternoon tea is usually placed on a shelf, divided into 3 layers, from the bottom up, the bottom is salty sandwich, the middle layer is the British scone cake, the top is cake and other small desserts. The order of eating is also particular, starting with the salty salmon sandwich at the bottom and then the scone cake in the middle. The scone cake meal knife is cut across the middle, and the whipped cream is applied. The cream is smooth and the dry cake is neutralized, bringing out a faint milky fragrance. Then go to the upper layer of strawberry mousse cake and macarons dessert, and finally a cup of thick Earl's milk tea.
