    Delightfully presented, thank you, Adam. Just for all those who've commented on the word 'scone', from the Oxford Dictionary:There are two possible pronunciations of the word scone: the first rhymes with gone and the second rhymes with tone. In US English the pronunciation rhyming with tone is more common. In British English the two pronunciations traditionally have different regional and class associations, with the first pronunciation associated with the north of England and the northern working class, while the second is associated with the south and the middle class.

      Adam Bede - wrong. Bone China is not susceptible to damage from hot fluids and in any event the tea from the teapot would be way off boiling point since it’s been steeping for at least five minutes. Cheaper materials may be at risk from hot fluid damage.

    • @tobyix1569
      @tobyix1569 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I'm sorry, Adam Bede
      , but I have to (partially) disagree. Tea sets are almost always made out of hard-paste china, because it has the advantage over soft-paste that it is less likely to crack when exposed to hot liquids. The exceptions are mostly toy tea sets or purely decorative items. Indeed it would be a folly to spend on expensive chinaware which would be wrecked in no time by the very use it's intended for. Of course, your remark stands when it comes to glass and other, cheaper materials..

    I've been eating scones for the best part of 60 years now and every one was cut. I have NEVER seen anyone break a scone and I've eaten them in most of the best places in the country.
    I do have to add that a good provincial (outside the Home Counties) country house hotel invariably serves an afternoon tea at least the equal to, but half the price, of all the big London hotels.

    • @suecollins3246
      @suecollins3246 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Drogo, one of the reasons you don't cut a freshly baked scone is that the knife drags across the centre of the scone, flattening the texture and making the scone less 'fluffy'. A well-made scone should break perfectly through the middle showing a lovely fluffy 'crumb' as the texture of something baked is called. Try it next time.

  • @cellinimedusa4679

    I always thought that milk was added to the cup first, so as to cool the tea slightly and stop the hot water from cracking the delicate china?

  • @Slarti
    @Slarti 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    One boss I worked for would stir his tea loudly scraping the cup some 20 times, then he would hit the top of the cup three times with the spoon and shake the spoon dry just below and behind his lap.
    I noticed one day on the way into the office that the wall behind the boss had bicycle mud all over it from the rear wheel of a bicycle. Then it dawned on me, it was not mud from a bicycle but the years of his daily shaking of the tea spoon which had turned the wall behind him brown.
    He was really rather uncouth.
    By the way scone pronounce "scon" not "scown".
    ...and the manner in which you held the cup at the end! My goodness! ;)

    • @caligulalonghbottom2629
      @caligulalonghbottom2629 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    The food was gorgeous.
    I have a question about the place you put the knife when discussing the jam and cream. I only saw that done once in 65 years. It was at the Florence, Alabama Country Club at a dinner. A doctor put the knife down that way, with his fork, tines down, on the other side, the 9 o'clock position. Everyone looked horrified, and couldn't cope. He looked rebellious, as if he dared anyone to say anything.
    Suggestions???

    The reason why tea or coffee comes first, then the milk, is because the milk will well dissolved. If the milk comes first, there's a chance the milk won't dissolve properly

    • @pastorflaps6819
      @pastorflaps6819 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The reason is the quality of the bone China cups if the cup is of cheap quality the heat of the hotwater would break the cup the better quality China cups can withstand the heat so water firstly then milk if good cups milk first then water if not top quality it's a understanding of class upper class good China water firstly lower class milk first

  • @dalestreeter341

    A lot of this etiquette is making a distinction between upper class and working class behavior. Many of the things he suggests one not do are associated with the working class. For example, high tea is typically the main meal of the day for the lower classes at least years ago.

  • @Mrs.Karen_Walker
    @Mrs.Karen_Walker 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    adding milk after the tea is a big faux-pas. The milk is always added first. There is a historic basis for this. In the 18th century when tea became popular the porcelain cups they made were not of the hard and high quality as the porcelain cups made in the 19th century. Those cups often just shattered when hot tea was poured into them. Adding milk first prevented the expensive cups from a big thermal shock and breaking.

  • @KimmyQueen
    @KimmyQueen 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice video. If the china or the cup is delicate and/or old, it is appropriate to put the milk or cream first in order to safeguard it. I think that if one serves a tea that requires no milk or that is best with lemon, perhaps a delicate cup should not be used. Others mention that cheaper materials are the ones that crack. That is fine. It bears in mind that the milk can go first in occasion of the cup being very old/delicate and made of cheap material. Otherwise tea first and milk second.

  • @icegoddess1308
    @icegoddess1308 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    What I’ve seen is that traditionally you poured the milk and sugar into the cup first because tea sets were originally made of very britle material and so putting the milk in first and the tea in second kept the cup from breaking or cracking due to the quick change in temperature (very similar to how you treat glassware today)

      you've missed the point if you think tea is "simple" or that what you saw in this video isn't relaxing or enjoyable. In fact, it is perfectly relaxing and enjoyable. Literally everything is prepared for you. All you have to do is to be polite and drink the bloody beverage without making a mess over the table. And FYI, English tea drinking, even this, is way more simple than what is considered proper tea drinking in the Far East, where tea was invented. Try attending a Japanese Chanoyu ceremony, which is essentially a religious rite.

    Technically there is some pretension here, but I think he presents this in a relatively informal way. Especially Americans tend to be self-conscious of their dining etiquette in Europe. If this helps them feel more comfortable I wouldn't wave a Marxist flag.

    Do you pick up the saucer as well? A lot of people don't know that once upon a time the tea was DRUNK FROM THE SAUCER. In fact when I was growing up in Cape Town South Africa our maid used to drink her morning tea, when she'd arrived at the house, from the saucer. She'd pour the tea from her cup into the saucer and drink it like that. I believe that is where the old English term 'a dish of tea' came from. Which is funny because she was a Cape Coloured and she was Afrikaans...

      @@sharonmccoy4535 We have Coloured people that have lived all their lives in and around the Cape Town area. Ethnically they are sort of like cockneys in London. One family will have lived in that area for generations. They have a very strong sense of AREA. During the Apartheid era in South Africa many of them lived in a place called District Six - like for GENERATIONS. And the Nationalist Government declared District Six a White Area and kicked them all out on the pretext that they wanted to develop District Six but they never did. Our maid lived in a place a few kays from us called Lansdowne. Again, in the same house for generations. Then again, the government declared the area white and she had to go and live someplace else and it took her AGES to get into work and cost her a fortune. Sorry for the long-winded explanation but if you're not South African it's difficult.

    Nice video, but I hope they do a better job with the food when they're serving it. The selection looks very underwhelming, especially the pastries. Adding something with a little height to the middle and top shelves would help it look less empty.

    Lovely room, nice food, good looking gent, the perfect start to etiquette. Then he starts to talk about grabbing a scone, grab the milk!, grabbing a pastry. Noooo this sounds so common. Please don't grab things!!!

      high tea is for workmen... their meal before they return to the factories etc... they confuse high with haute... its not the same. most people just say tea in any case.
