      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.

    Hello Brit here:
    Your Answer to how people ate Afternoon Tea between lunch and dinner is because originally the aristocracy would have lunch I believe around 12pm ish which would compose of a very light meal and dinner wouldn’t start still later approx 7:30pm- 9pm we mustn’t forget that these dinners parties would last hours sometimes. Anna Maria Russel, The Duchess of Bedford would find herself feeling faint between the two meals. So she would call for tea and cake to boost her energy levels between the two meals therefore creating the concept of Afternoon Tea. She thought having the snack to be such a great idea she started inviting people to join her.

      I worked at a construction company and as a bonus from a client, we were served full afternoon tea with all the trimmings. Imagine 25 burly tradesmen, sitting at tables with fresh white linen clad tables laden with delicate china, drinking tea and eating dainty finger food.... we all became strangely civilised and gentlemanly, it was surreal.

    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 2 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.

      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'.

      lol I probably used that word wrong, but I was referring to basically how an American visiting England MIGHT act...like using a fake British accent putting pinkies up when sipping tea, chowing down hard on foods that are probably meant to be eaten more "sophisticated"-like. 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. They just totally stuck out as Americans, that's all. :-)

Not all British people who drink tea let alone around the world do it like they over exaggerate it in the movies.Then when they said cheers. Cringe worthy. We cheers everything? Think about a normal meal between two people that is proper, do you hear glasses clingy and people being obnoxious and saying cheers? NO!!

    Damn, I love tea. I specifically searched for tea videos, just because I love it so much. I‘m from germany and in the northern parts of our country we actually have lots of tea rooms too (sadly, not where I‘m from) and I grew up having a lot of black tea with milk on saturdays and sundays with cake, biscuit or other sweets. 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! Sorry for the long text, I just wanted to express my love for tea 😬

    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.
