When is comes to food, England is literally hell. As I quote from a song in APH (Axis Powers: Hetalia, fyi):
"In hell, the English are chefs, the Germans are police officers, the
French are engineers, the Swiss are lovers, and the Italiaaaaans are
bankers!"
Basically, English food is generally bleh. They practically live on the spud. Jack potatoes, mash, wedges, new potatoes... You name it, they have it. I didn't know how many ways one can cook potatoes until i came to the UK.
Onto their famous tea, which can get pretty ridiculous. Their flavours range from the classic Earl Grey tea - my only favourite English tea - to elaborate tea blends that seem exquisite at first glance but actually taste like cough syrup. How's that for your cuppa? I can't fully hate English tea though since I've only tasted a small range of teabags provided by the school canteen- which is what, 3 to 4 sorts of tea?
So, why am I giving cough-syrup-like tea a second chance? a week ago, I found some tea blends online that i thought of trying. Not only were they based on 'Sherlock' by BBC- one of the rare things I'd like to thank UK for- to my delight, the tea blends were given a lot of good reviews by other fellow fans of the show. I'm particularly intrigued my a tea blend inspired by John Watson. Since I'm more into fluffy jumpers than smoke and musky like Sherlock, (though suspicious due to my horrible experience with the blueberry and apple tea blend. Uck.) I'm excited to how it tastes.
