Afternoon tea is one of those treats that I make an effort to enjoy at regular intervals, whenever possible. I’m not sure what I like most about it; is it the devon cream and warm scones? the sandwiches made of crust-less white bread? or perhaps it is the very idea of being able to take [...]

Or in this case, 5 things to eat before you die, although I really could come up with 50 things. This is officially the first meme for us here at Vin de Table, thanks to The Traveller’s Lunchbox, I read the BBC article and have eaten 43 of the 50, and arguably eaten most of [...]
