Time for high tea !!! |
|
|
Anne |
It's 4 o'clock, time for high tea. |
Elisabeth |
So early ? Six o'clock or thereabouts is high tea time. |
Anne |
What ? Tea, sandwiches and cakes at 6 o'clock ? That's a surely far too late. |
Elisabeth |
No, no. I think you're mixing up high tea and afternoon tea. |
Anne |
Aren't they the same ? |
Elisabeth |
No, not at all. Afternoon tea means tea, perhaps sandwiches and definitely cakes around 4. |
Anne |
What's high tea, then ? |
Elisabeth |
That's a proper meal, often with meat or fish, but also of course with tea to drink. |
