England is best known for tea and scones due to its rich cultural history surrounding tea drinking, which was popularized in the 17th century and became an integral part of British social life. The tradition of afternoon tea, introduced by Anna Maria Russell, the Duchess of Bedford, in the early 19th century, further cemented the practice of enjoying tea with light refreshments like scones. Scones, often served with clotted cream and jam, have become synonymous with this ritual, making them a quintessential part of English culinary culture. Together, tea and scones exemplify the British penchant for leisurely social gatherings.

Fish and chips is probably the most famous food, and tea the best known drink.
Scones are formally eaten with a cup of tea and are for any time of the day. If you plan on meeting a friend for a chat and you are very posh you would probably give them a cup of tea and some scones. (*or get somebody to make them)
We English like to eat scones with jam and cream with our tea. Strawberry jam and clotted cream are special treats. Other things a steriotypical English person would like are fish and chips, the queen, and whippet racing.
Scones are more of a cake with raisins in that people normally put jam and cream in where as biscuits are hard and sometimes people dunk them in tea...
