"High Tea" is the evening meal usually for the working class. "Afternoon Tea" consists of finger sandwiches, scones and sweets and, of course, tea served around 4 pm. What is in your video was an afternoon tea, not a high tea. I wish you went into more of how the other sandwiches were made and cut into different shapes.
High Tea is basically early dinner, a meal eaten by most working folks. Its the meal eaten by folks who have their supper before 7 pm, because they have to go to bed by 10 pm, to get up by 6 am for work. Folks who are not having to be up in the morning can DINE at a late hour, at maybe 9 pm or later if they are going to the theatre or a party. That means that they need a pleasant afternoon tea around 3 or 4 pm, to keep them going between luncheon and late dinner.
I think this was absolutely lovely. High Tea, or Afternoon Tea, either is just perfect. Thank you for sharing this, I will definitely be doing some of my own.
My posh gran called it afternoon tea served on a tea (low) table. The best afternoon tea I had was at the Savoy in London. High tea was eaten by staff at a regular or high table.
"which my aunt is brining" made me smile every time you said it :) Loved everything about this video, your humour is adorable and i learned a lot. thank you for sharing this.
Wonderful video. Thanks so much for all the ideas. As an American I've always wanted to have an afternoon tea because it seems so special to me! I will definitely host my own now.
I live in a small community in North Carolina. To bring the neighborhood together for a Meet and Greet - I invited the little girls to my "Shower of Blessings Tea Party". They were sooo pretty. They loved it! I am getting ready to host my 4th tea party this spring. I find that having a theme is very helpful.
i thought people who love beautiful things have beautiful thoughts, the comments are so disturbing. Different countries could have different meanings for the same thing. She seems an Australian, why every one else is botherd with the word " high tea" If this is not the way your country does a high tea,, fine skip Go to the next vedio. Here in Australia a high tea is more off an formal tea.
High tea is an afternoon tea with one or two warm (hot) dishes. Basta. Time: 4 pm onwards, up until as late as 8pm. Somewhere along the line it becomes Supper which could turn into a middnight snack lasting untill 3.30 am.
Thank you for your charming video. Actually, in Spain, we have the same bread, but without the crust. I loved the way you explained things. You are a very charming lady.
High Tea. Eaten by working folks at the kitchen table, i.e. a high table. Think beans on toast and a mug. Afternoon Tea or if you want to be really archaic Low Tea, i.e. a low table as one would find in a drawing or withdrawing room. Please get it straight people. High doesn’t mean posh.
In America, some people have breakfast for dinner. Lol. But yeah, if one is going to borrow a custom off another culture, do so efficiently and do some research at least to understand the difference and knowing the difference between high and afternoon tea is basics. Otherwise, just call it something else.
We i came from (london) we had breakfast lunch & dinner BUT we i went to school in australia they had different names for a lots of things for instsnce breafast dinner and tea.. tea time weather its morning or afternoon is called smoko
@@alisonperry1786 Not for all Australians. Sometimes Dinner is Midday, sometimes it is the evening meal. "Tea" can sometimes mean the evening meal. Whether it is called Afternoon tea or Morning tea is also just referred to as "having a cuppa". You forgot "Brunch." "Smoko" is usually reserved for the working class referring to the break in the work routine. How do you think it originated?
@@carolleenkelmann4751 yes confusing it was not untill I left adelaide as an adult that I realized how big austrslia was ....one did not even know how to order a beer interstate
Thank you for presenting a lovely and informative video on high tea. I loved everything about it. I cant wait to try out the recipes. You make such a great hostess and everyone looked like they had fun.
No one, especially those ‘American tv ladies’ seem to know what English High Tea is. It’s very different to afternoon tea of light sandwiches, scones, cake and cups of tea. Served from 2pm to 4pm. 4pm to 6pm is High Tea which consists of hot snacks instead of light sandwiches. So savoury pastures such as quiches and dainty posh sausage rolls, Omlettes, smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, cake and of course more tea.
How marvelously beautiful... thank you so much! I am not sure that it can be called high tea with all its upper class delicacies and dainty china, however it is admirable. I learned a lot, especially about these wonderful flavored waters. Perhaps the actual tea was not really featured on the video although it must have been served.
Great ideas! My only comment is that this is actually called "Afternoon Tea". High Tea is a more casual lunch, called High Tea as it was often served at tall tables where people would stand to eat a quick and simple lunch. It usually consisted of meats and cheeses with some bread and, of course, tea!
+Lauren Barnett This is interesting. I always wondered where the "high" came from. When I started watching this video I expected her to make bangers and mash!
The expression "high tea" comes from the time it was eaten "high six" i.e. six o'clock. It's when the labouring man came home and ate his second meal of the day. So in artisan households the meals would be dinner and high tea and in middle class (and upward) homes, the principal meals would be lunch(eon) and dinner with afternoon tea being served around four.
@flaming. In "the states"... mmm. The term "dinner" can mean a number things. It can mean the main meal of the day eaten around noon hour. Many engaged hard manual work eat at this time. The builders working next door are ding that right now. Or dinner can mean a meal when the worker(s) get home - a later version of the same midday meal if you like. If they ate a further meal, say before going to bed, it could be termed "supper". Or it could be a meal eaten 7-8pm which is slightly more formal and not eaten around the TV! In parts of Scotland, there is an evening dinner followed by a later supper (cakes, scones etc). Each to his/her own.
Why people find fault with beautiful sharings of food and drink is beyond me. Is there a proper way to do this ? Sure..but in reality who cares.. Lovely video
Thanks for this, I am doing a high tea themed birthday party for a friend that this was so helpful, I am in the US and we really don't do this very often.
I am sure you're right. But High Tea for me when I was growing up was that on a Saturday at my Nan's we had a biggish lunch then salad for tea with sliced hard-boiled eggs and salad cream and what seemed like endless cakes for afters. It was like just for once I could ask for as many cakes as I wanted because all the adults were into stuffing their faces too!
No. High tea is a light supper in the early evening not dinner. Supper can also be a late night very light meal, not necessarily tea and toast, but you would not have either if you have dinner especially with 3 courses. Afternoon tea: finger sandwiches (delicate not substantial), scones with cream and jam, then small cakes and sweet pastries and sometimes petit fours. This is more like high tea but should be a little more substantial for high tea. Have a look at tea at Fortnum & Mason, the Ritz, Claridge's etc
@@mistycat8794 no, I'm sorry high tea is akin to dinner in the U.S. supper (which ive had in Derbyshire with friends) is a simple late night snack with tea. Like toast and tea. High tea is a 6pm....and is a savory selection.
What a lovely day with good food in a wonderful setting. Also for the people commenting, she might have gotten the fact that it’s not high tea after the first 10 comments saying so, so spare your breath folks!
+Msumire Hello. Good point! We enjoyed some lovely tea but it wasn't featured in this vlog. Will be sure to feature our favourite teas in an upcoming video.
Egg and cheese and chicken sandwich and rolls,bread ,tryfoodbuns butter,sweet creamy rolls etc and you can order other things like normal lunch .or evening tea
Scot Ansgeulaiche This is also often referred to as Full Tea. High tea is more of a dinner. She is correct that it was more of a blue collar affair but the name comes from the fact it was served at the high (dinner) table, not lounge (coffee) tables.
Thanks for sharing👌 I tried the egg sandwiches yesterday It really was a super easy delicious one and would like to try making the turkey sandwiches What was the name of that dark colored sauce?
You wouldn't have all those savouries, croissants and fruit at afternoon tea, you have finger sandwiches, scones with cream and jam, and small cakes and/or sweet pastries. This IS more like high tea although I'd have more substantial quiches etc and some salad. High tea is a light supper, not dinner, and is usually early in the evening. We used to have it at 5.30 on Sunday when I was at school and afternoon tea or nursery tea during the week at 4.00 and then supper at 6.30 which was a light cooked meal.
That is not an English cucumber sandwich. We slice our cucumber never cube it and cream cheese never goes in a traditional sandwich. It should be buttered bread, and thinly and I mean thinly sliced cucumber. Bread should also no be refrigerated as it makes the bread go stale. Afternoon tea is served at 4pm and should be sandwiches first, then sweet pastries followed by cakes. The meal you are making is an American invention. English afternoon tea is the original version and far superior. Afternoon tea was invented by Queen Victoria of England.
@@honestlystop-8701 oh I care about my cucumber sandwiches.They MUST be thinly sliced on white fresh bread with butter, not to thinly smeared - The Savoy...?.. mixes a lemonzest and something else in the butter. If you want to know what the something else is, look up high tea Savoy in TH-cam.
Why not have barley tea and lemon still instead of just 3 flavors of water and champagne ? Lemon still is an old tea recipe . You basically slice all your lemons, boil them in a pot of water and let it steep overnight , then add your sugar . I've tried it and it has a stronger refreshing ZING than regular homemade lemonade . Barley tea is a good one too, or maybe go patriotic and serve raspberry tea, like the colonists did when England was taxing the tea too much .
Hmm, what you just described is afternoon tea. High tea is a four-course meal at 4-5 pm. However, in North America, we often call afternoon tea high tea.
This is an afternoon tea, not high tea. High tea was eaten by the help in large country houses after the lord and ladies ate their luncheon, afternoon tea is usually done between 3-6 PM, it became the status quoa after several ladies took tea and cakes in their chambers during the afternoon lul between meal, as dinner was normally quite formal and eaten later than we eat it now.
Seemed to be a light-hearted casual afternoon tea. The video was devoted basically to sandwiches with a couple of minutes on making pink drinks. Might be an idea for a bridal shower. Disappointing that there was no mention of scones, and no sign of the desserts. I was actually shocked to see dry bread (unbuttered) put on for sandwiches; maybe many would do that, particularly with a filling with mayo in it, but I prefer all the bread slightly buttered regardless of the filling. I didn't catch all the words due to variation in the tone & volume. Not enough here to do your own tea party unless you have relatives who prepare all the rest, and a nice idea for family to play a part in.
What's happening here is an afternoon tea. A high tea is is served for supper. The word "high" indicates that this supper is eaten seated in a dining area at the table, traditionally in chairs with high backed chairs; but not always the case if you didn't have high backed dining chairs. At any rate, it's a hot meal - supper, dinner.
Hiitea in garden.put a table set with chairs and umbrella or some shady tree .you have some fruits and cakes,snack,etc and nice tea and they can make themselves and served
I'm not entirely sure what's funnier. The fact the video itself is a classic case of people not actually doing their research enough before trying to tell people the proper way to do things re: Etiquette, and making fools of themselves by calling a Low Tea "High Tea" as a result- or the people in the comments correcting it to "Afternoon Tea" when it should be Low Tea (because Afternoon Teas and Low teas aren't the same thing despite both being held in the Afternoon).
High Tea is the wrong name, unless you will be serving jointed meat cooked with hearty vegetables- high tea referred to an early dinner the servants had to eat before serving the master and mistress and family and guests their evening meal meaning dinner. Afternoon Tea or Just Tea is what the Lord and Lady and family and friends had in the late afternoon-4:00 pm or so. People today confuse the two terms and think they mean the same thing.
I've watched a few of these demos, & the bread crusts are not cut off 1st. Why not refrigerate the bread , & cut the crusts off 1st? Imo, it's a waste of filling to do it after spreading the filling.
Nice vid but not too good of an audio or it could just be me. I think you're doing a proper showcase of a high tea. Regardless, i do hope you keep these videos coming.

No, it's not. It has been most profoundly dissected in the last years in the comments.

She never said it was ‘English High Tea’, perhaps ‘High Tea’ means formal tea in Australia.

Afternoon Tea or Just Tea is what the Lord and Lady and family and friends had in the late afternoon-4:00 pm or so. People today confuse the two terms and think they mean the same thing.
I love you so much with all my heart God bless you 💖🙏
So beautiful.
High tea does not have chalkboard seating markers.
I've watched a few of these demos, & the bread crusts are not cut off 1st. Why not refrigerate the bread , & cut the crusts off 1st? Imo, it's a waste of filling to do it after spreading the filling.
Ellen McIntyre try both you will see the difference
Nice vid but not too good of an audio or it could just be me. I think you're doing a proper showcase of a high tea. Regardless, i do hope you keep these videos coming.
❤️❤️❤️
Why do the British cut off the crust from their sandwiches?
because they don't want to get curly hair.
@@carolleenkelmann4751what’s wrong with curly hair?
I cut my crust off before I cut. I hate the waste.
save the crusts in the freezer in a freezer zip bag and use it for meat loafs, or rissoles (mince meat fried patties).
A high tea is a meal. This is a afternoon tea.
Conspicuously absent: TEA.
