Twelve years ago today we had a 'high tea' in
Scotland. We were discussing the tea
culture in the UK with our friend Dave.
High tea, afternoon tea, low tea, cream tea: we were so confused! As he explained, afternoon tea and low tea
are the same. Delicious tasteys served
in a beautiful display... on low tables in a posh setting. Cream tea is an afternoon tea that features
clotted cream as a spread for your scones.
High tea is a light meal to ward off hunger when getting home from
work. It is served at the dinner table
(the 'high' table). It too has a tray of
goodies, but fewer and not so fancy.
Then Dave decided to treat us to a high tea at a pub he
knew just down the road.

And our simple selection of scones and treats.
