What in the name of the Blue Bagels of Britain is Gypsy Bread?
I've lived in and travelled around the UK all my life and never encountered this once.
Therefore I refute it as an Urban Legend!
PS. I just Had Hot Buttered toast.
PPS. The British Tea Ritual is as follows:
Water is taken from the Thames and boiled in a bloody big, black kettle.
Once piping hot, one takes a bag of scrumptious tea leaves and places them into the cups.
The Thames water is then poured in while talking about how awful the weather is.
Conversation continues on to the topics of problems with the public transport and local hooligans (chavs.)
Then once the tea is British strength the sacred questions are asked in order:
"Milk?"
"Sugar?"
"One Lump or Two dear?"
Last of all the Tea in the teacups (on saucers) with a plate of Biscuits.
Every brit follows this ritual when they make tea, so we always ask if one wants Milk first. To do otherwise would be acting like one of those uncivilised barbarians from the colonies. |
