UK
The United Kingdom officially
United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Northern Ireland ( United
Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland ),is a sovereign
and insular country located to the
northwest of continental Europe .
Its territory is geographically
formed by the island of Great
Britain , the northeast of the island
of Ireland and small adjacent
islands. Since the independence
of theRepublic of Ireland ,
Northern Ireland has been the only
part of the country with a land
border, until the inauguration of
the Eurotunnel linking the island of
Great Britain with France and the
European mainland by land. Great
Britain borders the Atlantic Ocean
to the north and west , the North
Sea to the east , the English
Channel to the south and the Irish
Sea to the west .
The United Kingdom is a unitary state
comprised of four constituent nations :
Scotland , Wales , England and Northern
Ireland . It is governed by a
parliamentary system with the seat of
government and capital in London , but
with three decentralized national
administrations in Edinburgh , Cardiff
and Belfast , the capitals of Scotland,
Wales and Northern Ireland,
respectively. It is a parliamentary
monarchy , with Elizabeth II being
thehead of state . Colloquially and
erroneously it is called Great Britain and
England , a consequence of the greater
weight of both (territory and kingdom,
respectively) within the State. The Crown
Dependencies of the islands of the
Channel - Jersey and Guernsey - and
the Isle of Man are not part of the UK,
although the UK Government is
responsible for its defense and
international relations.
The United Kingdom has fourteen
overseas territories , all of them vestiges
of what was the British Empire , which in
its international territory came to reach
and encompass close to a fifth of the
world's land surface. Elizabeth II
continues to be the head of the
Commonwealth of Nations and head of
state of each of the Kingdoms of the
Commonwealth .

GASTRONOMY

Historically, UK cuisine has been labeled

as "bland dishes made with low-quality
ingredients, mixed with simple sauces to
accentuate the flavor rather than
disguise it." However, British cuisine has
absorbed the cultural influence of
established immigrants in the country,
producing several hybrid dishes, such as
chicken tikka masala , considered "the
true British national dish."

The typical food of England is

characterized by sharing influences with
China , India and other European
countries. The English national dish is
Sunday roast , sausage with mashed
potatoes, Shepperd's pie, and Bublle and
Squeak. Meat or fish are usually
accompanied with peas, cereals or
legumes.
In English cuisine , historical factors,
climate and exchange with other
countries generated that ingredients
such as bread, cheese, sausages and
cooked vegetables are part of its culinary
wealth. We can find the habit of
consuming fast food or fast food from
the United States .
 UK GASTRONOMY
The gastronomy of the United Kingdom is
basically cosmopolitan, not only because of the
ease with which the locals incorporated
ingredients and recipes from all over the globe,
but also because national dishes were taken to
both ends of the planet. Among the predominant
components of UK cuisine are roasts and sweets,
as well known as traditional, which have their
place on the daily table as well as in all kinds of
celebrations.
One of the main things to consider when
considering British cuisine is the regional origin of
most of the major dishes. Most of the typical
foods are so strongly linked to their place that
they bear their name, as is the case with cheeses,
for example, Cheddar, Cheshire, Lancashire,
Stilton and Wensleydale.
A common in UK cuisine is roast beef, the most
popular example of which is roast beef. Another
great cooking option is frying. In fact, the most
popular fast food is fish and chips, known as fish
and chips.
However, the protagonist of British
gastronomy and tradition is tea. The ritual of
five o'clock tea, the most popular drink in the
United Kingdom, is world-renowned. The very
preparation of the infusion is directly linked to
local tradition and it is customary to prepare it

BEER
The beer is brewed alcoholic beverage with fermented barley
grains or cereals in water and yeast.
Draft beer is usually drunk , with high fermentation (Ale type) and
also Cider.
It serves as an accompaniment to spicy ethnic foods.
The beer in the UK has a long history and has quite distinct
traditions. Historically, the main styles were fermented bitters,
porters, stouts, and milds, but after WWII , lagers occupied more
than half the market by volume. The Campaign for Real Ale
(CAMRA) was founded in 1971 and has encouraged the
preservation and revival of traditional beer styles. In particular,
CAMRA has promoted barrel- conditioned beer, which completes
its maturation in casks in the pub's cellar rather than in the
brewery. As of 2014, the UK drank 634 million pints (3.6 million
hectoliters) of draft beer, accounting for 60% of beer in bars and
restaurants and 17% of all beer in the US. pubs. In total, 42.42
million hectoliters of beer were produced in 2013, of which 48%
was sold in non-commercial establishments (retail stores).

In the Middle Ages , beer was brewed by independent

abbeys and breweries, but the dissolution of monasteries in
the 16th century meant that the British brewing industry
lost its connection to religious houses earlier than in other
European countries. As a result, the industry has some of
the oldest names in British corporate history: Shepherd
Neame was incorporated in 1698 and Bass Red Triangle
was the first trademark. Family companies became national
brands during the 19th century, many based in Burton-on-
Trentthey had a particularly good water for brewing beer. In
the 1970s, brewing was concentrated in a handful of large
national companies, which became the building blocks of
large multinationals like AB InBev. A tax cut for small
breweries in 2002 has seen an explosion of new breweries -
as of September 2014 there were over 1,472 breweries in
the UK, 1 with three new breweries starting each week. 1
This is the highest amount of beers per capita in the world;
4 produce more than 8,000 regular beers and thousands
more of seasonal, one-time beers.
The first tax on beer in the UK was the Saladin tithe ,
introduced in 1188 by Henry II to raise money for the
crusades .

TEA
It is an infusion that is accompanied with
sandwiches and small desserts. Of all the
types of tea, Earl Gray stands out.
At tea time it is served with pasta (scones)
or buns, butter cookies, etc.

HOW WAS THE TRADITION

OF TEA DRINKING IN GREAT
BRITAIN BORN?

Drinking tea is in the British DNA . This

warm custom began in the 18th century ,
when the British harvested stolen tea from
China in the Indian lands under their
domain. So, little by little, taking it tea , at
four p.m. , it became a ritual of high society
, who could acquire so precious and
expensive species.

After the Industrial Revolution , such a

sophisticated practice, which was
accompanied by sandwiches and cookies ,
not only became general, but also changed
the time, at five , so that the working class
could also enjoy this tradition. In addition,
during the working day there is also the
call? tea break ? Centuries have passed
and this custom, far from expiring ,
intensifies .
In the United Kingdom , 60,000 million
cups are consumed annually , according to
the Tea and Infusions Organization . That
represents an average of 900 cups for
each citizen . Anthropologist Kate Fox ,
after several investigations, was able to
conclude that black tea , with a stronger
flavor, is consumed by the working or
lower classes . The drink becomes
smoother as the consumer is on higher
social scales .
The time of tea is a traditional British custom in which he took tea at
five o'clock.
Since the time of industrialization, teatime for the working class,
people who work from nine to five, has changed because it becomes a
good time for a pre-dinner snack or snack. This activity includes tea
and cookies or cakes of various kinds, such as scones . In other cases,
the tea may include a savory accompaniment. Due to changes in modern
schedules, many hotels offer tea time between 3 and 5 in the afternoon.
Tea time or tea time , is a British habitthat generally occurs between 4
pm and 5 pm It is not exclusively a tea time , but rather consists of alight
dinner , which is generally prepared upon arrival from work.
The tea break is a short break during working hours consisting of 15
minutes, in which you usually have a cup of tea or coffee and a sandwich
( tea sandwich ). In a working day there is usually one tea time and two
tea breaks a day.
Before tea was introduced to the UK , the British had two main meals:
breakfast and dinner. The custom of having tea began in the 18th
century, when people were making dinner later and later and they
began to have a lighter lunch between breakfast and dinner. Still, this
left many hours between meals. Some members of the aristocracy got
used to having a cup of tea along with an aperitif around five in the
afternoon. This custom gained great popularity spreading to other
social classes.

 Coffee
The English tend to drink a lot of
coffee, in all its forms and
presentations such as: espresso,
cappuccino, frapuccino, coffee with
milk, etc.
In ancient times, England, the classic
coffee shops had greater relevance
because they were taken as meeting
points for some political, literary,
commercial intellectuals, etc.

Coffee in the UK has become a premium drink.

In the last five years, in this country, they have
opened more than 2,000 coffee shops and in
towns like Otley, popularly known as the
capital of pubs, there are already more coffee
shops than pubs in operation. The offer of new
qualities and presentations of coffee on the
market, the commitment of young people to
healthier products and beverages and a
growing concern for sustainability have
favored a true coffee revolution in the United
Kingdom that could only end the
consequences of Brexit.

“According to data from our latest market

study, 95 million cups of coffee are consumed
every day in the UK, that is, 25 million more
than ten years ago. In 2018, three new cafes
were inaugurated every day, while between 21
and 25 pubs closed each week, ”says Chris
Stemman, executive director of the British
Coffee Association (BCA), the entity that brings
together the English coffee industry and which
for years has worked to ensure a preferential
place for coffee in the selection of favorite
drinks for the English.
