Why is it called a cream tea when there’s no tea involved? Just wondering…:)

I was thinking the same thing! I was thrown off by the picture because I felt sure it must be a drink.
They have snacks with their tea breaks, and cream tea is one "style" of snack served.
 
We have biscuits and gravy, instead. :love
That is gross

No. Tea is an English thing. We have a bit of a philosophical opposition to it after the whole rebellion incident.
Actually tea is indian

Most British people do not have tea breaks. Some do but it is very rare. Cream tea is usually something that people have when they go on holiday to Cornwall or Devon. Tea breaks last happened commonly about 100 years ago.

In the college town I used to live in we'd get a lot of people from across the ocean, and they always said that biscuits and gravy sounded gross until they actually tasted it! Mostly they seemed like they were under the impression that our biscuits would be more like scones, which isn't the case. Scones are disgusting. Also, white gravy doesn't seem to be a big thing over there? I do love brown gravy, but brown gravy on biscuits does sound unappetizing to me.
