      Of course, you'd have to be pretty rich in order to eat like this everyday that which I'm willing to bet most English aren't. 'Afternoon tea' for most is simply just having a cup of bagged tea around noon time, nothing special.

      Honestly there are many places with special deals where you can do Afternoon tea at a reasonable price. A lot of the times the food is replenishable so if you have an appetite it will pay off. I don't think this is a regular thing but it's nice to treat yourself sometimes! That and a good wine bar with a cheese spread are my two favourite 'treats'.

    The pinkie emerged in pre revolutionary french aristocratic culture. The rules about how could bed who were a tad laissez faire, to say the least. The pinkie poking out emerged as a way for noble women to let any potential partners to the fact that the lady in question had venereal disease. So there we go.
    And also, it is known that the Queen prefers her scones the Cornish way, which is jam and then cream, and for god's sake, do not sandwich the two halves together.

    • @Hekat1988
      @Hekat1988 3 роки тому

      Oh really? I had always heard that the pinky finger pointing when drinking came from when herbs and spices were very expensive and so to be polite you would keep your little finger off your glass to keep it dry so that when you went to pinch some pepper or spice or herb with your thumb and little finger you did not take more then you actually needed.

I'm from the United States, and I could just totally see my family acting like that, and me being all embarrassed, thinking we were offending Brits or something. I hope that makes sense.

      Nae West people think all British people do afternoon tea and that it’s all fancy and posh but that’s not true. A lot of people I know (yes all British including me) don’t do afternoon tea. Plus afternoon tea isn’t always like that they just did, it can be having a cup of tea in your living room with some biscuits watching tv. Because of that’s it’s probably normal in a lot of countries

    i'm American who lived in England last year for a year & seven summers in a row before that & i can justifiably say, this is very high end afternoon tea ( which i've done & have loved ) & you can still go for tea and scones without spending a lot. I was happy with just going for a cream tea ( a pot of tea & two scones ) & i was perfectly happy. Most of my friends who are British love high tea too, but don't go as often as people make it out to be. This is not like an everyday or weekly thing but common.

I loooved it so much and am now always thinking of those cozy weekends with my family, everytime I‘m having one. Became a real addiction. I‘m always buying different sorts of tea from my local tea shop and have a pot of tea every morning. Soooo much better than coffee!
