The Old City of London

Check out the files I shared with you today: pubs, the Inns of Court, Samuel Johnson, the Temple church, and tiny Twining's Tea,the oldest tea shop in London, still operating after all these years. This is where it all started--the British tea craze that led to the Opium Wars and the British-occupied territories in China.

HW: find the Westminster Arms Menu, Sherlock Holmes Pub Menu, or Punch Tavern menu in their folders. collect pictures of all the foods, especially the ones you don't know (just go to google images and type in the names). Next class, be prepared to share your pics with your classmates! Also next class I'm gonna ask you about your likes and dislikes on one of the menus, so think about what you'd order if you could!--Molly
