The mysterious ingredients with the last sandwich in the first place.... could it be stuffing with chicken ?

@everydayimeating3407 Жыл бұрын

It didn't taste like stuffing. I'm pretty sure it was pesto

@JL16061980 Жыл бұрын

Mine would be the first one, for many reasons.... mostly the scone (as in stone) looks like a scone and not a rock cake! Shame on Selfridges for trying to pass off a 'rock bun' as a scone! 😉🥰❤🇬🇧

I'm shocked! 😮😮😮 I honestly thought you were going to say the Selfridges Tea was £40 not 14! I can't believe it! They were both amazing looking. Patisserie Valerie had French accompaniments with the butter, cream and jam, whereas Selfridges had English with Tiptree Jam from Essex. Both delicious! Omg, both absolute BARGAINS! Obviously Selfridges overall was more artisan in the sandwiches and cakes, yet bizarrely £5 cheaper. I would be delighted to have either. Both venues looked charming too. You certainly know how to live! 😊

They were both very dainty and quaint and yes butter on the scone lol. I do like the way you do the talk-over after the video has been filmed. Not talking whilst eating makes the video easier to watch and you are able to describe the items more fully I think. Thanks for this vlog. Can't decide so I would have to try both the afternoon teas ! x

It's funny as I too had scones today. They were very small, very nice, but just about filling a hole from a pub in Central London. But my order of spread was butter, jam then cream. Looking at these two cream teas, I must say that I'm impressed with them both. For me, though, it has to be Selfridges. Only because I like the variety and the different take on the sandwich.

I can't decide between the two, going on price, I think it would be Selfridges. I liked the cakes better in the first one. I thought Selfridges would have had a nicer teapot and milk jug and for the size of the scone you should have had another pot of jam and some butter. All the scones looked lovely

You should state clearly the price of each tea, next time. We were confused and its effected our selection. The Selfridges tower looked very professional, nicely composed with savory and sweets. Also sweets looked more complexedand made by a professional. As to the patisserie savories were nice, but sweets looked somewhat disappointing (I guess its ok for UK) as if made in a country bakery. Also, you did not state if they offered you a choice of tea and which one did you select.
