Unit 10Meals: Afternoon Tea & High Tea

Afternoon teais a light meal typically eaten between 3 p.m.and 5 p.m. It originated in the UK, though various places that used tobe part of the former British Empirealso have such a meal. owever,changes in social customs and wor!ing hours mean that most Britonsonly ta!e afternoon tea on special"formal occasions. #raditionally,loose tea would be served in a teapotwith mil! and sugar. #his wouldbe accompanied by various sandwiches $customarily cucumber, eggand cress, fish paste, ham, andsmo!ed salmon%, scones$with butter,clotted cream and &am% and usually ca!es and pastries $such asBattenberg, fruit ca!eor'ictoria sponge%. #he food would be oftenserved in a tiered stand. (hile afternoon tea used to be an everydayevent, nowadays it is more li!ely to be ta!en as a treat in a hotel,caf), ortea shop, although many Britons still have a cup of tea andslice of ca!e or chocolate at teatime. *ccordingly, many hotels nowmar!et achampagnecream tea.

High tea$also !nown as meat tea% is an early evening meal,typically eaten between 5 p.m. and + p.m. in the evening. It would be

eaten as a substitute for both afternoon tea and the evening meal.#he term comes from the meal being eaten at the high- $main% table,instead of the smaller lounge table. It is now largely replaced by alater evening meal. It would usually consist of cold meats, eggsand"or fish, ca!es and sandwiches. In a family, it tends to be lessformal and is an informal snac! $featuring sandwiches, biscuits,pastry, fruitand the li!e% or else it is the main evening meal. n farmsor other wor!ing class environments, high tea- would be thetraditional, substantial meal eaten by the wor!ers immediately afternightfall, and would combine afternoon tea with the main eveningmeal. In recent years, high tea has become a term for elaborateafternoon tea, though this is *merican usage and mainly

unrecognised in Britain.In most of(ales, /orthern England, parts of0cotland,and

some areas of 0outhern England, the three main meals are referredto as brea!fast, dinner and tea- or brea!fast, lunch and tea- wherein other areas they might be brea!fast, lunch and dinner-. $*fterWikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia%
