His Take! Tea at Sketch, London
(AKA: The great British treat of extended pinkies and wasted afternoons.) (Editor’s note: This post was written by XFE. Check back on Monday for the MUCH shorter “Hers” version of our tea at Sketch.)

You’ve Got to Be Kidney Me: 5 British Foods We Ate in London
I’m about to say something highly controversial: I love British food. And I’m not talking about “crisps,” because, let’s be honest, who doesn’t enjoy a little salty sliver of fried potato goodness?
