[Leica] London tea

[DouglasMSharp at netscape.net (Douglas M. Sharp)]

Should anyone, by quirk of fate, find themselves in the North of 
England, try Betty's in Harrogate, Yorkshire
for a really refined Tea - Taylors Yorkshire Tea & Tea Brack (a kind of 
fruit cake, served best with a piece of
Wensleydale cheese) or try their Sloe Gin Cake, MMMMH!! beats the Savoy 
and the Ritz into a cocked hat..
 The real Tea Experience is, however, the "Yorkshire Farmhouse Tea"
look out for signs outside farms and pubs.  Home smoked or boiled ham, 
haslet, fresh baked crusty bread, salted butter,
local cheeses, salad,cheese scones followed by masses of fruit cake, 
scones, rock buns, moggie (a kind of gingerbread) and gallons
of tea. Pick a place close to the local pub, at least within crawling 
distance, you will get seriously overfed.
For those who don't know the North of England, it consists of Yorkshire 
(and a couple of  other insignificant counties
tacked on to its borders) ;-)     I shall now seek cover from irate 
Geordies, Lancastrians and the like.
'eers to me, thee an all on us

BTW The US harboured one of our exiles - Eric Knight who wrote the "Sam 
Small" short stories for
Harper's in the early 40s, came to later fame by writing " Lassie Come 
Home" but tragically died in a plane
crash before the film took the box-offices by storm.
