My future daughter in law wanted a tea time bridal shower and I felt honoured to provide my experience of tea time as a child in England. We made beautiful delicate sandwiches..yes some were cucumber:) and cakes with a variety of salads. We served tea and lemonade and made teapot centerpieces which were given away as prizes during the afternoon. Ladies wore summer dresses and hats and we had a beautiful memorable time on a budget!🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸
Wow, you sound like the dream mother in law! 🙂
Sounds fabulous
It sounds lovely ☺️
Hello my friend how are you doing? please kindly support my video too and please take care your health too
@@ladyjade6446 Hello. How are you doing?
Miss her a lot...😥She was a real Queen...👑❤
I grew up having afternoon tea with my grandmother every day at 3pm. I thought everyone did this! 😆😆😆 We had orange pekoe tea with Peek Freans cookies. 😋
I totally forgot about Peek Freans!
@@kallen868
They came in a beautiful tin !
No egg and cress sandwiches 🤔
What a great memory!
My mother was very particular about her tea and when I was a child I remember orange pekoe tea with Peak Freans biscuits being served. The biscuit company disappeared from India but orange pekoe ruled in our immediate family and extended family.
He's doing a video on afternoon tea; he posts at tea time. Perfection.
The weird thing is, going school in England anyone who had jam sandwiches was called poor! And here I am finding out the Queen eats them, wish I could show the bullies this haha! A lot of that food seems so simple but just is reminder there’s so much naturally nice things no need for all this Just Eat and Deliveroo!
Must have been a posh school. In a normal comprehensive, they would pick on you for far more down to earth reasons than that.
Life is simple, some ppl bully others just to show they are "special" from others. Having food to fill our tummy and not to go hungry is luxurious enough in comparison with many ppl from poor countries
Jam sandwiches are called poor by some? Wow in countries like Sri Lanka,India,Bangladesh and Nepal jam sandwiches are a treat !
@@toastedtcake2947 t
Thats what i love.but i have home made bread and jam
That takes me back. My Gran's Saturday afternoon tea. Three tier stand with tinned salmon and cucumber sandwiches (no crusts), battenburg cake, french fancies if we were lucky, followed by some trifle. Tea pot at the ready with dainty teacups.
Happy picnic! My grandma and I used to have afternoon tea together a lot. She possessed an Afternoon Tea set with the Queen's picture on each cup and saucer. She was brought up in the Netherlands following the death of her Swiss father - yet, she was fascinated by the art of Afternoon Tea.
No wonder the Queen enjoys her afternoon tea. It is wonderful!
Of Course She Enjoys It!! Get's Waited On Hand and Foot. Is Served the Finest Quality Foods and Doesn't Have to Life a Finger to Help. And the Crust!! God Forbid that "Horrid" Unedible Crust!!
YESS! I had the Pimms cup there and I've tried to replicate it ever since I got home. I spent a few hours in Her Majesty's garden and enjoyed every second. Bless her for allowing us access.
Hi👋 how are you doing?
You've only paid for it...
My condolences for her Majesty's passing. I hope your channel has much success. Many people are more interested now than an ever in learning about the Queen! My students wanted to know all about afternoon tea since I told them the queen ate it every day, so your videos will be very handy.
My mom always made us strawberries that way, with sugar and cream. It’s so good, especially if you let the sugar sit for a bit in the berries first. I’m doing that tomorrow!
@ScottBrunner My mom did too... and you're right about letting the sugar set. 😉😋
Hi
Sugar and milk is how my grandfather has always had it. And yes letting the berries sit in the sugar for a bit is a must.
Hi Pro
I eat tomato sandwiches, just sliced tomato and mayonnaise on white bread with salt and pepper. So yummy! Thank you for sharing your recipes and stories with us Darren. Hope you're having a great summer. :)
Oh my gosh, aren't they the best?! When I was a kid in South Florida, we could go to the tomato farms and pick for ourselves. There was nothing better than those sandwiches
Southern staple！
Those do sound pretty good
Same here. They are so good.
@@kathyradford7187 🙋♀️ I live in Roswell, GA. We planted 8 varieties of tomatoes this spring and they are all currently exploding!! Several mornings a week I'm in the garden with a bowl picking (and eating!) the ripe ones. Nothing better than fresh tomatoes off the vine warm from the sun. 😋 Each variety has a little bit different flavor. I love them all! 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅
In my garden? I doubt it, Im not sure that those royal dishes would be quite as enjoyable in our 100+ degree weather....but inside, absolutely!!
What amazing experiences, I must say, Im a little jealous.
It does get that hot in the U.K. you know.
@@simongreasley8643 33 •C yesterday
My husband, daughter and i did this a few years ago, the garden was not open but we had tea on the terrace, it was so much fun. I can't wait to go back and have a picnic in the garden.
Been there! We toured the Queen’s Gallery, the Buck, the gardens and had afternoon tea in the big summer pavilion. It’s open every summer when QEII is at Balmoral. It’s fabulous.
is there a fee to get in the garden?
@@rhiannonjennings282 It's £15 or something like that, totally not worth it. It's just a small garden with a big lawn. The tour is extra.
I feel like royalty every time that I watch you.
This kind of eating is just so darn civilized and refined.
It makes me feel important, like a Queen, to eat the same menu.
Well done, Darren.
you mean bland and boring
She certainly doesn't have expensive taste if jam, butter, cheese, tomatoes, and cucumbers are all she wants in sandwich fillings.
feel the same
That was a bit cringe ngl
@@goliaboi and wasteful
I visited Bath, England once and had a lovely afternoon tea in the sanctuary of a church! It was beautifully done and delish! ☺😋
*That was the year("93" as I recall) they opened Buckingham Palace to the public for tours and I got to go!
I’m going to try these sandwiches this weekend and feel like a queen.
I’m going to make something way better and know that I have actual taste unlike the royal family…
Everything looks really gorgeous and makes watering the mouth.
But when I make tea sandwiches, I always keep the crusts and don‘t cut them off. I learned from my parents not to waste food due to their experiences during the war.
Up to now nobody complained about the crusts.
Those crusts are treats for the cook if there is some filling attached or if not they make great croutons.
@@lindamundy3812 In the meantime our ref contains delicious garlic croutons permanently …
😉
Actually the crusts are the best.
YUM! I live in Kentucky in the states, here we enjoy Benedictine sandwiches (traditionally a cream cheese and cucumber spread) that look similar. I feel so fancy every time I eat them. I’d love to have tea in Her Majesty’s garden, what a dream. 💕 thank you for sharing!
Sounds yum Katie swann
@@elizabethpodesta9554 Hello. How are you doing?
@@wilsonwalker1181 hello I'm doing fine thank you 😀
@@elizabethpodesta9554 Nice meeting you here. I’m from Washington dc but lives in Texas. What about you?
@@wilsonwalker1181 hi Wilson I live in Melbourne Australia nice meeting you too😀
From Canada, let me thank you for your and Winston's hard work sir. I never get bored of learning new stories, recipes and cooking tricks from your videos. It always puts a smile on my face. 😊
The salmon sandwich would be my favorite, I think. They all look delicious, however!
Hey Chef, you think one day you could show us how you make a strawberry or plum jam like you would at Balmoral? I'd love to see that and hear the stories you'd have with it :)
just youtube it and call it a day
Darren is so sweet and I’d love to try this his catering and eating Royal food
May our late Queen enjoy ever afternoon with her parents sister and husband from now on and ever .
I always wanted to know how to make a proper English cucumber sandwich. Thanks so much for making a video on this simple yet elegant snack/meal. Always enjoy listening to you talk 💕
Same!
Yeah just slap on some cream cheese and a cuke… I’ll pass I’ve been to high tea that none of this would even come close to passing the standard… 🥱
Dear Chef Darren, I just happened to come across your video on Afternoon tea and what to serve with it. Just wanted to say how much I appreciated watching you. What a happy chef you are, so positive and sharing your energy and recipes! With my Scottish/French background, living in Sweden, I really enjoyed this! Thank you! 🙏🏼
I now know why this channel is so addicting. Your voice, your glib stories, and the delightful food. Carry on!
I love English afternoon tea! This is going to be one of my favourite videos of yours, Chef McGrady. Hands down! 🫖
This is just the perfect summer recipe and activity! Such lovely looking food, even lovelier chef. Cheers Darren, thank you for all the wonderful recipes and stories! xx
I'm Indian and I love pims lol. It's so good on a nice hot day in the summer! It's the monsoons in India now so it's wet and rainy and overcast so the pims have been replaced by hot cups of chai but in June I either had pims or just a gin and tonic when I was lazy to soak up the heat. So yeah another gin lover here. Also LOVE Jin from Bts so Gin/Jin love them all!
I’ve recently, in the last few years, discovered that I really liked gin also! I don’t know what took me so long! It’s a lovely libation!
OMG, this looks amazingly delicious and refreshing! No wonder the Queen loves this drink!
It's a deceptively strong drink. I was at a wedding in France a couple of years ago. An Englishwoman was marrying a Frenchman, so the booze quotient of the even consisted of Pimms before the meal and champagne afterwards. Despite warnings the French thought it was a tasty but innocent fruit drink and were knocking it back like water. They got absolutely hammered! Later in the day, they were drinking champagne to sober up!
@@darriendastar3941 Haha, what a great story :D
@@darriendastar3941 Holy cow! I am a serious lightweight, so I'd be done in in no time!
@@Jeannified Me too! I'd probably be dancing on the tables after 1 or 2 drinks! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I grow borage in my herb garden. Great cucumber flavor. I grow it for the bees, which appreciate the pollen, but now I see a cocktail in my future. Cheers!
There is a story that many years ago when Queen Elizabeth was on a foreign tour and walking past a crowd of her subjects and admirers two little boys got free and ran up to her shouting "Queen Queen!" She stopped and looked at them for a moment smiling and said "Yes?" Dumbfounded that the Queen had acknowledged them they were momentarily at a lost for words. One little boy finally said out of genuine curiosity "what do you eat?" Without skipping a beat the Queen replied "chicken, just like everybody else!"
Your recipes look tasty! As a common person, I remove crusts from sandwiches prior to the application of other ingredients. Crusts are collected in a bag that I keep in the freezer. Later, I make crumbs from the crusts to add in other recipes. When making a Tea for a large number of guests, this would be too time consuming. Cooking for the masses is a different experience. Speed in preparation is important.
For my birthday, my family and I were visiting from America & happened to be in London that day. So after touring the Abbey & pics in front of Buckingham Palace, we all had tea at Harrod’s. I had the most AMAZING tart there. I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I’ve been home, and that’s been 4yrs!! Just celebrated my 50th birthday by going to afternoon tea again. Was a great day, but it’s no London!
Hello Moonglow
Darren, what a joy watching your videos. Your enthusiasm is contagious! It makes the royal food actually interesting (sorry, used to think it was boring 😬). Thank you for changing my mind! All the best to you! 😊
Ah! I was actually there in the garden this week in London! Was beautiful, really hot, had a scone with clotted cream and strawberry jam, yummy. Felt lucky to be there ☺️
THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND 🇬🇧 🙌 😍 ❤️ ♥️ 👏 🇬🇧 🙌 😍 ❤️ ♥️ 👏 🇬🇧 🙌
This was fun to watch. I'm in my 60s.....my late mom used to like to do her version of afternoon tea. I'm sure it would seem low-brow for our UK friends....but we kids loved it. There would be a note on the door as we cam home from school-----"keep you coats and ties on". that meant tea! she made all kinds of goodies.....usually leftovers from a PTA luncheon. I loved the cucumber sandwiches!
I love your posts and the recipes!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and memories with us!
Watching this drinking my after work tea enjoying cream cheese and chive sandwiches. Even in the US at midnight one can be civil and have tea time.
When I was a kid we used tô have a afternoon tea or cofee with milk. And cake, sandwiches and etc. Every day. It could happen in our home, grandmother's home or grandaunt's home. A pity they aren't anymore among us.
When I am feeling a little down, these videos always make me smile.
You make it look so easy. Your so flawless with every stroke. Your recipes are easy and simple. At the same time, they become works of art. You are a wonderful chef. Thank you for making these videos.
Hello Debra Costley. How are you doing?
Darren thank you so much for sharing these delicious ideas with us. They are so simple I am looking forward to trying them all. Looking forward to more recipes and more. Love the ice machine
It is So pleasant to watch you and listen to you. You are So open- hearted! Thanks for the video!👍 And the dishes are so simple, but really a Delight❤
The best time of the day is when Darren uploads a new video 🍻
Hi robert .doesnt this food make you hungry lol🍺🍻🍸🍡🍢🍤🍹🍖
I can’t imagine how horrible can be your day.... all the best from Albania 🇦🇱
I look so forward to your videos and Gets so hungry watching your yummy recipes!
I love The Queen so very much and always have, all of my life!
Just wonderful! I love watching what you have prepared for the Queen.
I really love those tea sandwiches Darren. Thank you for sharing all of this fascinating information! 👍🏻❤️
Wow, afternoon tea with the Queen does sound amazing! In fact, I'm actually going to a fancy tea event in a few days from now, so I'm really excited to get to experience an event like that.
What sounds amazing about it?
@@MovieJustin right?! This is what passes for amazing? I’m a foodie and one of the poor folk and I even eat and cook better!
had an English roommate many years ago, she made cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches, but she used onion buns, so delicious, great combination 👍 thank you for sharing!
You can't beat afternoon tea, on a summwrs day...pure bliss 😍
All my life I have had this thought of 'being present' in an afternoon tea in the Palace Garden. Have always wondered what foods are served; Chef Grady, now I know and I love the fruit drink you created.
All of this looks lovely! I can hardly wait to have my own little garden party!
Hi how are you doing?
Hello ❤️
How are you?
I never knew the proper way to make these wonderfully simple tea sandwiches! Now I do.Thank you!
Oh dang. Now I have to plan a trip back to England. I didn’t even get to see the ‘backyard’ of Buckhouse when I was there last time… it’s awesome that the Queen has opened this area up.
Tea sandwiches look so good, love them all. I enjoy stories of royals. You are very enjoyable to watch.
Hello Dianne Dutton. How are you doing?
I so enjoy your videos!!
I would love to have Tea with you!! What a dream!
(My hubby would learn I’m not so crazy! There really are great people on UA-cam!😅)
Just ordered your cookbook, and can't wait for better weather, to do a picnic!! Definitely with Pimms! Thanks for the instruction on the cucumber sandwiches!
Thank you so much for sharing these amazing recipes! You're veey generous!
Excellent 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻 Stay blessed
Will check your recipes...from Kenya🇰🇪.
Can you teach us in a near future vid recipe of how to make British sausage rolls? Is it considered part of an afternoon tea? Thanks!
There is nothing better on earth in the summer than a Pimm's Cup. My mother and I used to look forward to thinly sliced radish sandwiches on white bread with butter slathered on. Afternoon tea sandwiches are lovely.
you really have a genuine personality, such a pleasure to watch you. and your books are fantastic!
Aaaah, alas. I have no garden. Oh, the pains of an apartment. And yes, Chef, one of the things on my "Blind Bucket List" is to eventually visit Buckingham Palace. ....I really don't know how my cane would be handled though, haha.
Darren, I keep saying this, but you are an absolute delight to watch and listen to :D
Absolutely love your videos. Who would have thought we could ever hear and see such things. Thank you!
Nice to have gardens that will not be cut and dug up. that stays with all that splendor.
Those cucumber and tomato sandwiches may be the answer to my weight loss strategy. Remove ALL the crust. (;
Hi tim.cucumber is very good for loosing weight.and its full of vit.h.very good for you
@@karencourt5684 Not to mention that cutting off that much of the crusts removes about 1/3 of the carbs.
@@ardiris2715 hi tim i always cut the crusts off.then i use the leftovers for croutons so stuffing or salad
@@karencourt5684
I simply stopped eating bread altogether.
(:
Hi Ardiris how are you doing?
I live near Seattle in the States. For some reason, I thought Pimm’s was a beer! Hahahaha Silly me. This was a lovely presentation. Looks so refreshing. My Mother is 85, and I think I’ll make some of these for her. Easier to eat when cut in quarters. Thank you. I LOVE these videos. You’re such a nice and talented person! Hugs from Seattle🌸
Another Seattle person here 🙌😊
Proper British picnic drink.
Visiting the palace and garden are on my wish list. Love the video! Thank you, Darren.
Thanks I always enjoy afternoon tea time
Another great video , I just love listening to all your stories. We must be on the same brain wave this week ( you much higher) as I made 5 different British Cheese sandwiches this week:)
Darren, What I like about your Channel and everything else you publish, is that your recipes work and work well. I have found only one other recipe source that is consistent as you are, America's Test Kitchen. I have a personal recipe software application with over 1,200 recipes (all of which I have made) and you are well represented.
@JeffreyBrown Julia Child's recipes are foolproof/ excellent as well. She was a real stickler for testing and retesting her recipes and getting the measurement conversions exactly right for American cooks. My two culinary heroes...Darren McGrady and Julia Child. 💕
@@tiamia7139 I like Julia Child also. Amazing woman and chef. She changed the USA forever.
@@jhbrown1010 She sure did. She was so intelligent, hardworking and funny. When my daughter and I were in Paris several years ago, we stood outside the apt. building where she and Paul had lived. I would have loved to have known her. "My Life in France" is in my Top 10 all-time favorite books.
Loved Julia Child! I remember watching her show for not only her cooking abilities, but for the sheer entertainment. I'm fortunate enough to be able to watch old reruns of her show atm
Martha Stewart recipies are foolproof! They are also delicious.
I love the combination of butter and jam...thay go together really well
Heaven, pure heaven!!! Love afternoon tea!! Love your vdos!!
Al of these recipes sound so lovely and refreshing!! I’m definitely going to make them. 😋
Darren, I never miss your videos but this was the first one I detected a note of longing in your recitation. As a retired chef I get that the cooking game is a young persons sport but I can’t help but wonder if you’re tempted to go back to the U.K.? I know HM would be happy to have you back.
I absolutely love watching your videos! I especially like the stories you tell of Princess Dianna! ❤️
Thank you Darren, it was wonderful having a conversation and demonstration from you. You certainly have had a resounding career with the royal family! Enjoy your clips!💕
I never realized that I have been making tomato sandwiches incorrectly. I will now seed and peel!! Those sarnies look delich!!
I sometimes peel them, but Im sure I'll keep making mine with the seeds - and lettuce with mayo. I'm sure the Queen's sandwich is good, but nothing beats my tomato sandwich, made with home grown tomatoes, of course!
@@lisaredwine4857 true nothing beats the juice running down your hands when you're eating a tomato sandwich. Of course probably not exactly lady like... Lol
I feel so common with my juicy tomato sandwich. ☹️
@@lisaredwine4857 yeah i think including seeds would be nicer.
Toasted with mayo is my fave.
Honestly Chef, you need a cooking show!
Hello Irish
Thank you so very much for this lovely video and the recipes. I’ve loved her majesty since I was a lil girl growing up in Pakistan ♥️
Blessings now from Houston, TX
Great, simple and delicious sandwiches, thanks for sharing. Greetings from Texas.🤠👍
We always had tea with something sweet or savory daily in the afternoon with my family.. its like a tradition in Pakistan🇵🇰 😊😄❤️❤️
Hi Darren, I loved this video. I am a tea time fanatic and love making dainty, luscious tea sandwiches. In the past, I've made dozens for the Devon Horse Show in Devon, PA. I've also made them for friends' wedding and baby showers. My personal favorite is cucumber with butter or cream cheese with chives, a sprinkle of salt and a good grind of black pepper on crustless white bread. I was EA to an EVP at an English company in the U.S. for 16 years. When William and Kate got married, I made a bunch of tea sandwiches at home and brought them in, along with a platter of Scottish shortbread, Digestives, and Pimm's. I'm retired now but still love to make assorted tea sandwiches to have with a cup of Twinings Earl Grey, which I understand is Queen Elizabeth's favorite tea as well. Love your videos. You inspired me to purchase my first Cash and Mason bowls. I'm very partial to the batter bowl with the spout and leave it out on my kitchen island because it's too cute to stick inside the cabinets. Cheers! 🍾🥂
Thanks Tia, I love afternoon tea
@@Darren_McGrady Pastor please pray for the release of curses and magic. Please pray to facilitate the brain and be given intelligence. Please pray to get rid of the disease in the body. Please pray for smooth finances and be given wealth.
I so enjoyed your affable manner and commentary. Thank you!
What lovely treats to have,l could eat them now, and you make it look so easy, beautiful garden ,
Thanks Darren for sharing your expirience with the queen, l am a big fun of the royal family, except Harry AND that women
Everything looks delicious! My favorite “summer meal” is cucumber, tomato, cream cheese with fresh basil on Hawaiian rolls (with a dash of salt and pepper) ...I’ve never thought to use a potato peeler on cucumbers but now it’s a must try! TFS Darren!
@CE Hart.... That sounds nice must try sometime. Not sure what those rolls, are though that you have.
I have friends from south America who swear that removing strips of peel from Cucumber will keep them from causing stomach distress
@@earnold1896 they're a slightly sweet roll. Like a Portuguese sweet bread, but softer
@@LindaC616 Hello. How are you doing?

A wonderfully delicious video! 😊 I'll have to make mine on a Sunday with family and play croquet and lawn tennis. 😊 Thank you for sharing the video and it was enjoyable to watch and listen! Enjoy your PIMS. I like mine with the lemonade way though the Sprite soda is equally a tasty drink! They are delicious!!! 😊❤
I love to watch and, learn how to make all the different wonderful dishes.
Winston is such a handsome boy! And looking so royal in his crown
Winston is always looking sharp! 😀
@@candied.crabapples Hello. How are you doing?
I enjoyed the simplicity of this video - and it finally answered the question on why anyone would want a cucumber sandwich (that'd be me, now!). However, I noticed that very few seasonings were used - I'm not sure if I could survive without black pepper and a tiny bit of extra salt. Anyway, great vid - thanks Darren, much appreciated.
Apart from the lovely food, I love the fantastic chats with darren!! Thanks :)
Great Chef,wonderful person.I love his working stile recipes.. all the best.
