Elevenses
One of my favorite parts of the British culture is ‘Elevenses’. First of all, the name is precious…This is a snack that is similar to afternoon tea, but eaten in the morning. It might consist of some cake or biscuits (read cookies) with a cup of coffee or tea. The name refers to the time of day that it is taken: around 11 am.
Basically I’m enamored by this practice because it’s clearance to eat cake before lunch- there, I said it. I think everyone should begin participating in Elevenses from here on out.
