                                Over 190,000 servings of strawberries and cream are consumed during the Wimbledon tournament each year, a tradition dating back to 1877. The practice of eating strawberries at Wimbledon is a perfect blend of timing, tradition, and royal history that has become an iconic part of the British summer.
