Afternoon tea is a tradition that dates back to the 1850s when the Duchess of Bedford was feeling peckish. Now many hotels offer this aristocratic repast but the original one was The Langham Hotel so we went to have some tea there.
There are different types of tea though. Afternoon tea, high tea, low tea etc.
The Langham was the first hotel to have hydraulic lifts, running water and was therefore popular with the literati. Even today you still see famous famous in there, especially as it is right opposite the BBC broadcasting house.
Don't forget to book in advance if you want tea because they do get very popular and you can even rquest books and games for the kids as well as fun cakes and sandwiches for children.

Regarding the pronunciation of “scone”, this appeared in “Punch” over 100 years ago: “I asked the maid in dulcet tone / To order me a buttered scone; / The silly girl has been and gone / And ordered me a buttered scone.”

Marvelous! The bits of violin music reminded me of Stephane Grappelli, whose career was cycling down in the mid 60s. He was doing afternoon tea dances at a hotel in Paris. Not long after, he was rediscovered by a new generation, and he worked into the 1990s, up until about 2 months before his death. He was conservatory trained, and no one could improvise jazz like him. He kept saying, "I'm just a fiddler player." Anyone with ears to hear said he was one of the greats.

It's simple. High tea is a hot meal you have after 530, either as a replacement for dinner, or as an interlude between lunch and a late supper. Afternoon tea is a light meal you have between 3 and 5, before dinner which is eaten between 7 and 9. And I can confirm the Cornish method for dressing a scone (rhymes with gone) is correct 😁

@shelleyphilcox4743 2 жыл бұрын

Butter if scone is cold then. Jam. Cream. If the scone is even barely warm, and you put the cream straight on the scone it will melt into it and make it soggy. The spread jam creates a barrier between the scone and the cream. :)

@JoannaHenwood 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you! I am from Devon and yes, always cream first on a scone, as it is heavier, more like butter, and jam second, otherwise it gets in a mess, and makes the scone soggy. I do have Cornish ancestry too, they do have good pasties, but scones are definitely better done the Devon way!!!
