Apparently the name high tea comes from the high tables it was served on - Dinner tables.<BR/>Thanks for the comments, glad you like the Blog!!<BR/><BR/>SamSamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04554151962924841103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757809577012452896.post-14658899104648104312008-04-15T22:51:00.000+01:002008-04-15T22:51:00.000+01:00Love the blog!

And I wonder if you could discuss more about tea--I am frequently in arguements with people who refer to what you describe as tea in this post as "high tea." My understanding is that is incorrect--that "high tea" is really what we Americans would call "dinner."Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14748231341500700924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757809577012452896.post-63697400443829419432008-04-15T21:13:00.000+01:002008-04-15T21:13:00.000+01:00I've really learned something today.Thank you!This...I've really learned something today.<BR/>Thank you!<BR/><BR/>This is a great blog; I like your writing style and the photography.
