Afternoon Tea.
I am making this post to summarise a lovely evening I had on Thursday with my sister and nephew. We had tea, reminiscent of the teas we used to enjoy with our Paternal Grandmother as children, and played football, reminiscent of when I was younger and could run further!

At our tea we had cheese, ham and corned beef sandwiches, crisps, pickles and chutneys; the scones were replaced with shortbread (kindly supplied by my Mum and Dad) but I am planning some baking for our next tea.
We also had pineapple and cheese on sticks, a teatime or party treat that has always been a favourite of mine, and they bought these beautiful flowers over for the table. A wonderful date of note.

This used to be high tea did it not.
ReplyDeleteTrips down memory lane are good for the soul.
Hey T-Bone! Thanks for the visit, also very good to see you last night. I hope the greenhouse is now standing?
ReplyDeleteHello Anonymous. It did indeed used to be known as High Tea and in fact you can still get High Tea at Harrods or the Ritz.
High Tea for two at the Ritz will set you back a mere £80.00 and includes:
Sandwiches:
Cucumber and dill
Smoked salmon with lemon butter
Egg mayonnaise with mustard cress
Poached turkey and mayonnaise
Cream cheese and mustard grain
Roast ham
Poached salmon and watercress
Roast beef and horseradish
Freshly baked scones with home made strawberry jam and clotted cream, afternoon Tea Pastries and Fresh Cream Cakes, Ritz Selected Teas or Coffee
However you will need to book 6 weeks in advance to avoid disappointment!
I like to think that my High Tea compares favourably and it certainly requires considerably less notice to arrange!
