[QUOTE="bosko69, post: 10057720, member: 16283"]My London eating revelation was Afternoon Tea.It was 50 bucks for each of us (?!),but what he heck-we don't hit London every month. My sweetie picked a place on the river-The Swan.It's linked to Shakespeare's recreated Globe Theater. I'm thinking-'OK,well get all these prissy micro-miniature sandwiches,savories & sweets,plus schmancy porcelain quaffs of tea....' ho-hum (hope i don't nod-off !). But-as long as i don't have to doff an Ascot tophat and tails-what the hell ? Turns out i was completely wrong-all the teensy 15 or 20 taster courses were great/sublime,and the tea was mind-blowing. Gobsmacked Me ! After the meal we walked down to connected Globe Theater.We talked to a young cast member (manning the gift shop part time),she showed us a few of the lobby exhibits-including a copy of Shakespeare's First Folio ! It was just quietly sitting there in a plexiglass case next to a replica of the Westminster Abbey coronation throne. As we left we thanked her and found out she was a Cambridge Art & Theater graduate-gad zeeks.[/QUOTE]
