Pubs are an important part of British culture and social life. There are approximately 60,000 pubs in the UK that trace their history back to Roman taverns. Pubs typically have two bars, an outdoor garden, serve beer and pub lunches, and host live music, games like darts and billiards, and pub quizzes. They are governed by licensing rules that allow operation up to 24 hours daily, with most open from 11am to 11pm. Pubs serve as popular community gathering places.

This document discusses British pubs and their role in British culture and society. It provides details on the history of pubs in the UK, common pub customs such as buying rounds of drinks, typical pub menus and food offerings, popular pub games and sports, licensing laws regarding alcohol consumption, and how British pubs differ from American bars in their role as community gathering places rather than just drinking establishments.
The pub is an integral part of British culture, serving as a community gathering place and entertainment center where 80% of British adults socialize. Pubs come in many varieties from traditional rural pubs with ales and fireplaces to busy city pubs with loud music. Many pubs now serve food in addition to drinks, with over a billion meals served annually. Licensing laws require patrons to be 18 to enter and purchase alcohol, and smoking is prohibited indoors. Golden rules for pub etiquette include ordering specific drinks rather than general requests and paying at the time of ordering without tips.

Brits have a strong obsession with tea drinking, which originated in the 1600s when the British East India Company controlled tea imports. Afternoon tea is a traditional British custom involving small sandwiches, scones, cakes and muffins consumed around 4pm. There are also cream teas involving just scones, clotted cream and jam as well as high tea, which was originally a hot dinner. Making a proper cup of tea involves using freshly boiled water and brewing the tea for 2-5 minutes before adding milk, unless the tea is made in a pot in which case milk is added first.
- Lactose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and galactose that humans cannot digest without hydrolysis.
- Lactase is the enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of lactose into its digestible monosaccharides.
- An experiment tested the effects of temperature and pH on lactase's ability to hydrolyze lactose by measuring glucose levels. The results showed that lactase functions best around body temperature and in the acidic pH range of the human digestive system.

If you can’t imagine life without chocolate, you’re lucky you weren’t born before the 16th century. Until then, chocolate only existed as a bitter, foamy drink in Mesoamerica. So how did we get from a bitter beverage to the chocolate bars of today? Deanna Pucciarelli traces the fascinating and often cruel history of chocolate.
The history of chocolate spans over 2,000 years, beginning with the Mayans and Aztecs using the cacao bean in rituals and to create spicy, bitter drinks. Chocolate spread throughout Europe in the 16th-17th centuries after being introduced by the Spanish and Dutch. Industrialization in the 19th century led to innovations like solid chocolate, milk chocolate, and mass production, making chocolate affordable for the general public. Today, chocolate is a global industry produced on five continents, with nearly 2/3 of cocoa from western Africa and 45% of revenue from Europe.
The ancient Maya grew cacao trees and made chocolate drinks by grinding cacao seeds into a paste and mixing it with spices. The Aztecs later cultivated cacao and used the beans as currency. When the Spanish discovered chocolate in the 16th century, they brought it back to Europe where it became a luxury only the wealthy could afford due to the high cost of importing cacao and sugar. In the 19th century, industrialization led to inventions that improved chocolate production and allowed solid chocolate bars to be manufactured.
Coffee is the second most traded good in the world and the 'favourite drink of the civilised world' as Thomas Jefferson once stated. But not many of us know all the interesting facts and its history. We've put together all the exciting things we know about coffee and more. After all we're very passionate about coffee.
Coffee originated in Ethiopia and was first consumed as tea made from dried coffee leaves and cherries. It later spread to Yemen where beans were roasted and brewed. Dutch, French and British merchants then transported coffee beans from Yemen and other ports to Europe and their colonies. Wherever Europeans colonized, they established coffee plantations using slave labor. Coffee houses originated in the Ottoman Empire and later spread to Europe and America, becoming popular social and political gathering places. Turkish coffee houses also served as village centers for news and discussion. Today, over 500 million people are involved in the global coffee trade.
