I think you must mean "tea" as food - I can't think that tea, drink, would go with cider whereas a nice ploughmans with cheese and bread and pickles would go down a treat....

Eileen has that one right. It was John Milton.

According to Gavin Alexander, lecturer in English at Cambridge university and fellow of Milton's alma mater, Christ's College, Milton is responsible for introducing some 630 words to the English language, making him the country's greatest neologist, ahead of Ben Jonson with 558, John Donne with 342 and Shakespeare with 229.
