Which type of tea do you think you'd go for the most? 🍰
Definitely cream tea☕🥛
Edit:Finally tried afternoon tea, Became my favourite out of the three.
High tea :)
It's SCONES lol....hard O not scones with a soft o. You are a professional now so this is need to know information ☺️
Afternoon
Afternoon
This series feels odd as a British person, all this cool traditional food stuff and I'm just learning about them myself. It's like the American feeling of finding out the house system in Harry Potter is a real thing.
It’s a real thing? 👁👄👁
Are houses in schools not a thing in the US?
@@mrbarjam7067 Not that I’m aware of, is that a thing in the UK?
@@mrbarjam7067 lol it’s def not. I mean the closest you get to it is like colored pods in some elementary schools. But your pods change with your year.
@@LenaEliana14 no they definitely are I think it just depends on the school you went to, in my primary school we had 4 houses and on sports day the house that won the most got a non uniform day
So afternoon tea is the fun one, high tea is for when you're hungry, and cream tea is when you want to enjoy your tea with a snack
Thank you, I understood you explanation much better. Hers was more confusing.
High tea is a casual dinner, a greater focus on savoury with little and some times no 'sweet'.
Thank you for clearing that up!! I was so confused the way she explained it😂😂
High tea is supper
So the reason for the difference is that "high tea" refers to the fact you eat it at a high table, like a dining table or bar, whereas afternoon tea is traditionally served on a coffee table in a saloon or drawing room. Afternoon tea was always popular with the aristocracy, who had time and servants for all of its fanciness, but workers generally didn't finish the day until 6pm-ish, and didn't have the money or energy for that sort of thing, so instead had a mug of tea with a light supper like scotch eggs, sandwiches, gala pie or something, calling it high tea. Aristocrats caught on, and often did it at times like boxing day or after hunts when servants weren't around to help them. Americans and other foreigners often think of high tea as Afternoon tea so a lot of hotels in London etc, like the Ritz, have a 'High tea in London' or something similar to attract tourists who aren't aware of the difference.
Amazing! Where did you learn all this?
@@scoob1670 Being English ahaha
Or because it’s full of that CRA-🤪
My nana explained this once when we went for 'high' tea saying it was just supper. She's not british though, but métis from Canada. They taught it to her when she was sent to school.
You know the differences if you read Enid Blyton as a child🙂. Also, it seemed like high tea had meat in some form (ham, sausages) while afternoon tea was lighter - cucumber, tomato sandwiches and cake with tea. Anyone who's read British fiction / literature knows about Devonshire clotted cream and cream teas. And the eternal "butter first or jam" conundrum
The fact that Colin Firth is just hanging out on the wall is hilarious to me 🤣
It’s more hilarious to Americans.
Haha me too!!😂
As an American I didn't even realize this until you said it 😂❣
He was the BEST Mr. Darcy!
@@feyfantome he was yes.
i find it funny that in the past few weeks jeanelle has probably had more british cuisine than i have had in my entire life as a british person, i didn't even know this was a thing! i've never even had afternoon tea myself
That’s a little strange. You should give it a go. It’s very pleasant.
I was born in America, yet, I live as a Mexican all my life in America. 😂
Thank you for the detailed explanation on the different types of teas times.
I love everything about Jane Austin and you are in a tea room named after her.
I saw the portrait of Mr. Darcy. You are so blessed and lucky to be in Bath. Please show more places having to do with Jane Austin. Love your videos. ❤
I noticed Colin Firth too. Dreamy Mr Darcy
As far as I remember being taught, 4pm was Teatime (London), a light repast consisting of light sandwiches (no crust), small scones (no doorstoppers, 🤔 and is it jam first, or cream) and petit fours - those small cakes you speak of. High tea was 6pm, a Northern England/farmers time. That time coincided with the hours farmers brought their cattle in for the night. This consisted of heavier farmhouse loaves, hams, eggs. Supper was 7pm for small children, a milky drink and a few biscuits then bedtime, older children had 8pm with the nanny - and then you were perhaps allowed to continue reading 'In The Fifth At Malory Towers'. I still hear, decades later, my grandmother's ringing tones about keeping your elbows off the table - and no books allowed!....8pm was also the time that Dinner was served in fashionable London, and this took time as it usually consisted of several courses over a few hours. You most certainly needed to know your silverware, the distinct difference between the dessert spoon and the soup spoon was quite important. Dinner, for children and elsewhere, was eaten between 12 and 1pm - this was due to the fact that Farmers breakfast was at dawn/6am, they then left for the fields, taking the cattle out to pasture etc. They needed to eat something more substantial by noon after a morning of labour. Fashionable breakfast was between 8 and 9am...you slept in after a night consisting of dinner, the theatre, dancing your feet off, and then crawling into bed at 1am. Nuncheon was a mid-morning ("second breakfast" 😁) or mid-afternoon snack.
I'm throwing a tea party for my daughter's graduation party and your comment single-handedly has helped the most in understanding the schedule of the courses. Thank you!
@@dno5134 oh, you are most welcome. I hope all goes well, and a great time is had by all 🙏🎊🥳🍰🍾😁
I'm not English, but I come from a working-class, countryside family, and my relatives would still eat the evening meal around 5 or 6 p.m., and eating at 8 or later would be called "eating at rich people's time". 🤣
I live in Britain and I never knew this bc I’m Indian and I only have chai tea or honey tea ( for when I have a sore throat) , but thanks for telling me 😊
I love tea time. Tea time is best time.
In the North West of England "dinner" (as in the food you eat in the evening) is referred to as "tea" and "around tea time" means evening. Aktual tea is called a "brew" and lunch (meaning the food you eat around noon) is called dinner....So when someone tells you in the afternoon that they had a sandwich for dinner, they probably mean their lunch break 😁
Ohh and an English Tea Cake is a type of sweet bread roll, while a Scottish tea cake is a biscuit (as in cookie, not scone) with marshmallow fluff covered in chocolate...
Litterrally every 10th word does not mean what it should 😂
In the north east of England we also call “dinner” “tea” too :)!
This explains something. A traditional southern American state would call a lunchtime meal "dinner". I.e. Thanksgiving dinner at noon. It's a disappearing trend, but it's nice to understand the origins.
@@Goodwomanbadlady really? I’m from the south and I’ve never heard someone refer to lunch as dinner. I have heard dinner called “supper” though
I really want to try a Scottish tea cake, now!! Thanks for the info!
@@johannasweet1120 I have, lunch was called "dinner" and dinner was called "supper" by my friends who were from Georgia. I live in Oregon and met them about 2 years after they moved here from Savannah. They were cool people and they knew how to throw down some grub!
Jeanelle,
If you have time to stop by in London go to Fortnum & Mason and order their cream tea with a side of rarebit. You won’t regret it!
Good recommendation!
Yesss!!
To me as tea addict, F & M is like a Disneyland🍵
You had me at Jane Austin tea room 😍
Go to the good day cafe in Bath, very yummy 🥰
learning all these things about britain is so fun! i knew tea was the british’ thing but i never know it was that important. i find it very fascinating. now i want to go travel there!
Britain can be an amazing place, I must warn you that if you do ever travel here the weather isn’t the best. It can get much warmer in summer though!
I didn’t know that! Thanks jeanelle!
I love that you said both pronunciations of ‘scone’. This is a controversial topic in Britain 😅
I am such a tea/coffee person. Like I just love having lots of snacks with tea or coffee even more than having lunch or dinner so that is such a perfect treat for me 😩💜
Mr Darcy 😱💖
Omg Jeanell lucky you to be in these kind of places. Your content's aesthetic are always food for my eyes and my brain. Love and support 🎆
Ahh I barely just Read Pride and prejudice…soo good
ikr!
Mr dracy is that you there? Hangin' on wall am comin'😂
The clotted cream... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
And to add to the confusion, in Northern England and Scotland it's a common slang to refer to dinner/the evening meal as "tea".
Thank you for the mention. Loving your UK trip videos 💖💖
Glad you like them!
Everything on those plates look delectable. 😋
I am British. It's simple. It's snacks (Usually Biscuits, cakes to compliment the cup of tea) we have in-between main meals usually with a cup of tea. Sometimes named after the time of day - Morning Tea, Afternoon Tea.
High tea historically was served on a high table (a.k.a a regular table) and usually consumed straight after work while waiting for dinner to be ready. Yes, it is usually a sandwich and a cup of tea.
Supper is the snack before bed.
Cream Tea is just a menu Item. No-one says "I am going to go out to cream tea today" no! You go out to afternoon tea and you might order the cream tea on the menu.
This all looks delicious 🤤
There’s a very clear difference! My family are British Jamaicans so they get on our asses about learning these things. I love high tea the best 💘
So nice to hear "scones" pronounced correctly after ten years in the Pacific NW.
Love the Jane Austin regency tea room. They do serve great high tea 😊
Damn I’m English and I’ve never had any of these special tea meals :(( might have to try it ahaha
So cream tea is what I always get… cool!
I love going to tea parties and eateries
Good explanation. High tea is almost impossible to find now. It was sometimes served in hotels in the Highlands. It was popular with walkers. You might still find it in hotels in Crieff, Edzell or the Angus glens.
Haha you put clotted cream on first! That's wild!
It's the correct way!
In the Cornish corner we have DarkSparkyShark. Representing Devon we have a.
3....2...1....FIGHT!
Now I know! Thanks!
I'm English and had no idea that the term high tea and cream tea exists 😅
Clotted cream is GOAT
I had no clue about cream tea. 👍🏻 This is good info.
Thank you for the information.
In Brazil, some of us have a custom similar to high tea, but instead of a brew (tea) we have coffee. In other words, between lunch and dinner we have a “snack time” that contains coffee (with or without milk), accompanied by a sandwich or pastry of choice (coxinha, croquete, risoles…) and probably some fruit and cakes afterwards.
afternoon tea salmon sandwiches>>>>>>>>>>
Tea time innit
I learn so much watching your videoes and I get to visit places I cannot afford to go to and you walk whereas I can't. Thank you!
Tea Is really god with biscuits and also I love your content!!!!
In India we treat all of them same but I prefer the name high tea
My guests will love it
Tea time looks delicious rn-
Interesting!
I love that you aren’t afraid to wear your jeans and hiking shoes to tea!
I’m British and had no clue
My grandma always said that high tea was called that because you sit at a high table and at 6 or dinner time and low tea it at a coffee table or a low table at anytime but other wise sounds about right
I have afternoon tea every day at 3pm as someone living in England😂💖
I just subscribed I don't know what to so long. I love food and I watch your videos whenever they pop up. The food always looks so good. I love how you shoot your videos and your voice overs are great.
💜
I like afternoon tea the best
Thank you for this
Yummy for all 3!
yess! thank you for this
I’m not British but my grandmother would fix me afternoon tea with the little sandwiches and such. Especially loved having tea with butter and jam biscuits. Your tea set up looks so good! :D
Oh wow I never knew there was a difference or that there was a meal with it
I love your content and Lisa’s content
The painting of Mr Darcy skdnkd
That Colin Firth/Mr Darcy Portrait had me screaming 😂
Have you learnt about the different ways to assemble your scone? Are you cream first then jam or jam then cream? And what's your stance on butter with the scone too?? So many questions, so many options.
she actually talks about that topic in another recent video!
@@peky6036 thanks I'll hunt it down 😁
The literal portrait of colin firth just got me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lovely blue pattern china. Classic.
Awesome explanation. Now I can look smart 🤓
What you described as cream tea is also known as Devonshire tea, at least that’s what we call it in Australia!
I live in the uk and I didn’t even know that. u have been to more restaurants in the uk than me
So interesting!
It doesn’t matter to me what kind of tea it is. All look great
THAT WAS THE CLEANEST LOOP YET
Ikr I’m glad someone else mentioned it😂
Yum
Ooh! Fancy!
Awesome and looks delicious.....🥰👍i never fail to watch ur videos and i love all of ur videos coz im also a food lover....... wish to make a video like u.....
This makes me hungry... 🤤🤤
Now I'm homesick🇬🇧
Omg, a portrait of Colin Firth 😍😍😍 as his Mr. Darcy persona, no less
This is the first time I'm hearing this but I'm interested to know more about this.
I had afternoon tea the other day in my hometown but we didn’t have tea with it but we had everything else
The scones are better if you put the jam on before the cream
This looks good as fuck
Mr Darcy!!! 😍😍😍
High tea - high back chair at a dining table
Afternoon tea - casual parlour chairs, often served in the garden.
But who knows for sure
Eurgh too tired for it up sink in. I’ll just have whatever tea I fancy when I fancy it ☺️❤️
I am soo jealous. This is my favorite activity which i haven't had the opportunity to do in years because i had kids. Il have to look for a willing victim to drag to it
As a British person I’m learning so much of our history from you😂
All meryenda to me lol.
Hey, even I didn’t know and I live in Surrey. So don’t worry.
That Colin Firth painting reminds me of that one scene from the Barbie movie
And lastly, tea. Just tea. The drink, of course
I’m British, even I didn’t know 😂
Mark Darcy💕
The middle tier looks like it has (what us southerners call) biscuits.
I’m surprised you’re eating at so many traditional British places! We don’t even tend to do that ourselves and actually, most of us agree that our food is pretty bad. We do however, do other peoples cuisine pretty well so you should definitely try out some of the best restaurants around because they likely won’t be traditional British cuisine!
I have seen that curry is considered a common food that lots of people eat there, is that true?
@@DarthFurie sort of! There is a long history of curry in the UK which I won’t bore you with but in short I would say yes!
@@DarthFurie curry is stupid... It's way of ruining South asian food. They just took up some spices and made some curry.
Actual kari in tamil mean meat when you guys say chicken curry, we hear meat meat.
Who needs royal family on the wall when you can have collin firth as Mr D'Arcy, I'm from the same county as him and went to the sam college (16-19 education) Barton Pevril 😊
Scones with clotted cream and jam is ridiculously yummy! Why don’t we have it in the states??
BRUHH MR DARCYY
Lol I’m from the uk and I didn’t even know this 🤣
I'm British and tea is tea
