===Strawberries and cream===
[[Strawberry|Strawberries and cream]] are traditionally eaten by spectators at Wimbledon and have become culturally synonymous with the tournament. The origin of this tradition has been said to derive from a visit King [[Henry VIII]] paid to his Lord Chancellor, Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, whose home was at Hampton Court, about six miles from Wimbledon, when the chancellor's cook is rumoured to have served wild strawberries and cream as a dessert. Since the King ate it, the dessert gained popularity.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Miller |first1=Ben |title=Why do fans at Wimbledon eat strawberries and cream and drink Pimm's? |url=https://www.sportingnews.com/us/tennis/news/wimbledon-tradition-strawberries-and-cream-pimms/xqadlsnevufm1vufjfkstiyr |access-date=28 February 2023 |work=www.sportingnews.com |date=10 July 2022 |language=en |archive-date=28 February 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230228220934/https://www.sportingnews.com/us/tennis/news/wimbledon-tradition-strawberries-and-cream-pimms/xqadlsnevufm1vufjfkstiyr |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2017, fans consumed 34,000{{nbsp}}kg (33 imperial tons) of British strawberries and 10,000 litres (2,200 imperial gallons) of cream.
