British Tag

Yeah, I am technically not British but living here for most of my teenage years I feel like it's the place I identify with the most.

So I decided to do this tag which was created by Beauty Crush. Feel free to do this tag yourself and share the link to your blog in the comments.

1. How many cups of tea do you have a day? How many sugars?

This depends a lot on the weather but I can have around 6 cups of tea a day, especially in the winter. There's just something very comforting about a warm cup of tea on your hands on cold days. I usually have honey in my tea as opposed to sugar but if there's no honey I will have 1-2 sugars.

2. Favourite part of your roast

My family doesn't usually cook roast since we tend to eat more traditional Portuguese food but when I have had it my favourite bit is always the gravy since it just pulls all the other ingredients together. Also I believe if the other bits of the roast aren't that good, the gravy can make it all better!

3. Favourite dunking biscuit

I LOVE ALL BISCUITS! Nice biscuits, ginger biscuits, any chocolate chip ones, bourbons, chocolate digestives. Basically anything that is sweet and you can dunk in your tea.

4. Favourite quintessentially British pastime?

I'm not sure if this would be considered one but I love going on walks or bike riding at the park or around London. Some of my favourite places are Richmond Park, Greenwich area and south bank. I also love visiting little markets on the weekends.

5. Favourite word?

I wouldn't say I have a favourite British word but I tend to say lovely a lot (I probably got it from Cassie in Skins). 

6. Cockney rhyme slang?

I don't use cockney rhyme slang but the classic apples and pears is the best one in my opinion and the one that most people know.

7. Favourite sweet

Jelly babies for sure! I don't usually like sweets and this is the only one I enjoy having (aside from chocolate). I actually only had jelly babies for the first time a couple of years ago.

8. What would your pub be called?

I've never thought about this but I always like the sound of pub names that are to do with animals such as The Hound or The White Eagle. 

9. No.1 British person

The three that instantly come to my head are The Queen, James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Mr Bean (Rowan Atkinson).

10. Favourite shop / restaurant

I love any high street store such as Topshop, Lush, Body shop, New look, Primark, etc. 

For restaurant, I love Wagamama (not sure if it's British) but I mostly like to eat at small businesses around

London or street food in markets.

11. What British song pops into your head?

This has to be one by the Beatles and Yellow Submarine is the first one I heard by them.

12. Marmite.

Never tried it before. My mum doesn't buy it and when I did have it at home she threw it away before I had a chance to taste it because she didn't like it but I'm really curious to try.

What is your favourite thing about Britain?
