G...Not quite, Thanh - that's a raspberry lemonade. Good for cutting through all that cheese!<BR/><BR/>Hayley, I like the idea of all those bite-sized treats but barely have the drive to create them! My <A HREF="http://herestheveg.blogspot.com/2008/04/april-20-23-2008-wilsons-promontory.html" REL="nofollow">pretty layered display plate</A> has so far only stored fruit. :-)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the clarification, Anon - I didn't know the difference either! I've always wondered how folks fit in all those high tea delights and then a dinner as well. :-D<BR/><BR/>Johanna, I had always thought the teas were Devonshire and the rarebits were Welsh, but at Betty's it's all Yorkshire! (Actually, <A HREF="http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art42338.asp" REL="nofollow">this site</A> says that the Yorkshire rarebit distinguishes itself with bacon and a poached egg - neither of which we had. The cream tea origins remain a mystery.)Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-87232170657439699932008-07-16T11:13:00.000+10:002008-07-16T11:13:00.000+10:00I welcome pedantry, Anon, it means I learn new thi...I welcome pedantry, Anon, it means I learn new things!Hayleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136383350050942704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-77973809186477335322008-07-15T09:35:00.000+10:002008-07-15T09:35:00.000+10:00lovely photos of the minster - strange to think ge...lovely photos of the minster - strange to think generations would have only known it as a building site given how long it took to build<BR/><BR/>and I love a cream tea - can't help calling them devonshire teas although I am sure pedants would take issue with this! there is something particularly pleasing about it being served in those layers of multistory plates (can't think of what you call them)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-28625525771725686172008-07-15T00:45:00.000+10:002008-07-15T00:45:00.000+10:00Mmmmmmm, clotted cream...Although Hayley (apologie...Mmmmmmm, clotted cream...<BR/><BR/>Although Hayley (apologies, pedantry ahead!), high tea and afternoon tea aren't the same thing! High tea is an actual meal, eaten earlier than a normal dinner (say, around 5 or 6pm), whereas afternoon tea is lighter and eaten in addition to dinner, not instead of it. It would normally be served mid rather than late afternoon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-58185351588101914562008-07-14T13:18:00.000+10:002008-07-14T13:18:00.000+10:00I'm a big fan of the high tea ritual, there's just...I'm a big fan of the high tea ritual, there's just something so relaxing and charming about it. In fact, seeing those matching teacups and saucers has made me want to whip up some scones myself and have an at-home high tea!Hayleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136383350050942704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-86930827647136493532008-07-14T11:39:00.000+10:002008-07-14T11:39:00.000+10:00Is that more Pimms and cranberry next to the chees...Is that more Pimms and cranberry next to the cheese toast?thanh7580https://www.blogger.com/profile/12101572834580539226noreply@blogger.com
