A real English breakfast

English breakfast - this is another typical stereotype that comes to mind in connection with a trip to England. In my opinion, before traveling to England, English breakfast would have to include oatmeal, toasted white bread and, of course, a cup of tea English breakfest.

Justifying the expectations of tourists, «real english breakfest» is part of the English cities. A real English breakfast you will be offered in hotels, cafes and restaurants nearby.
Of course, I began exploring the issue and examine the contents of on-site "real English breakfast." So, oatmeal in it there is no trace.
In "real English breakfast included sausage, fried bacon, fried eggs - sunny side up, fried toast. Depending on the cook's imagination or the availability of ingredients, add some vegetables. Me in a cafe for breakfast with fried tomatoes and the other with heated canned beans. Oh, and also a compulsory part of a real English breakfast are fried mushrooms. In all sampled my breakfast they were.
But tea is the same name English Breakfast Tee typically breakfast is not included. It must be ordered separately.
At a cost of a real English breakfast in London you can rely on the price of 4.99 pounds, all the proposals I have seen and tried, fit into this figure. Tea, of course, by itself, and is worth a pound 1,5-2.
More interesting, in my opinion, especially English breakfast in a cafe is that it serves up to 12 hours of the day. However, if the area is very tourist, such as Cambridge, the cafe can be flexible and extremely proud of English culture so much that offers English breakfast all day! So that the tourists do not get bored, absorbing boring sandwich for lunch, but rather attached to the British food culture.
What is a real English tea

And now I must tell you about this English tea. In this regard I also waited for her small opening. Thus, the English drink tea with milk and a very modest amount of sugar. In the cafe I've never been caught tea, brewed from the bulk sheet welding. Wherever the tea was out of the pod. Sugar in the coffee shop give too little - 2 bags. Sometimes in some places you can see the bulk sugar. But the size of tea are available for every taste - from a cup of coffee before sitting down with a Coke cup size for drinking tea on the run in kiosks and online cafes.
In general, comparing with the western and central Europe, as tourists will be easier in England - tea in a cafe here is not something unusual, such as in Italy. But the price of a cup of tea still very high, considering that you get the tea from a bag and almost savory. One joy - with milk, in English, really, as they drink themselves Englishmen
