A Tea for Three

 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.
