World’s first pickle-based pop-up Pickled themed afternoon tea

A few weeks ago I went to an Afternoon Tea Pickle Pop Up where it was the world’s first pickle-based pop-up in London to celebrate the brined cucumber.

So basically everything in the afternoon tea had pickle in it.

Priced at £80 per person, it was quite expensive but I was glad every item was unique, different and unusual.

The most memorable item was the chocolate fountain where you dip the pickle in.

I seriously thought it would taste weird but the pickle was one of those sweet ones that were not sour so the sweetness and the dark chocolate actually tasted nice together.

Overall, nothing was overly shocking so the afternoon tea was rather enjoyable.

The only thing that could have been improved was the colour of the afternoon tea stand as it did not contrast the food as it was green, I felt that I had to plate the items on a white plate to get a better picture.

I couldn't understand by they didn't serve the sweet and savoury together in a two tiered stand instead of serving them separately.

Also, when I left, no one reminded me there was a jar of pickles to take home.
