If you haven\u2019t tasted this sweet and buttery treat, you\u2019re missing out on one of the most satisfying snacks of those fair isles. A crumbly biscuit is made from just flour, sugar, salt, and butter, and it\u2019s anything but plain. The texture and the sweetness combine in a most pleasant way, and if shortbread has a way of sucking all the moisture from your mouth, it only makes washing it down with hot tea all the more satisfying.<\/p>\n<p>While the south of Britain can trace much of its culinary influence back to the Romans, they never made it far into Scotland so the local cuisine is better<a href=\"http:\/\/www.historic-uk.com\/HistoryUK\/HistoryofScotland\/Scottish-Shortbread\/\"> traced to the French influence of medieval times<\/a> and the later court of Mary Queen of Scots. Indeed, the Scottish taste for shortbread seems to have blossomed under the stewardship of the 16th century royal, whose favourite \u2018Petticoat Tail\u2019 biscuits were a slightly fancier version of the enduring classic. Today, shortbread may be most commonly tasted at weddings, New Year, and Christmas \u2013 but it is no stranger at your average morning tea break, either.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"350\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8197\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/fifteens.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/fifteens.jpg 620w, https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/fifteens-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You won\u2019t find such a refined and culturally complex explanation for<strong> Northern Ireland\u2019s favourite tea break snack: \u2018fifteens\u2019<\/strong>.

Being only slightly more moist than Scottish shortbread, they go equally well with a cup of tea \u2013 though they might also be topped with butter or jam to help them slide down the throat. The cakes evolved out of necessity, as impoverished families threw together whatever they had in the larder and cooked it on a griddle, creating a palm-sized treat that was durable enough to survive in the lunchboxes of schoolchildren and coalminers alike.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"350\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8198\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/kendal-mint-cake.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/kendal-mint-cake.jpg 620w, https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/kendal-mint-cake-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kendal mint cake is popular in the north of Englan<\/strong><strong>d<\/strong>, having originated from Kendal in the Cumbrian Lake District.
