If you went into a nice restaurant on Princes Street in Edinburgh, Scotland and ordered "tea" or "afternoon tea" this is what you'd get: A pot of tea, a tray or pastry stand of little sandwhiches, fancy cakes and scones, clotted cream, marmelade and jam.

If you ordered "high tea" you would get shepard's pie or a plate of eggs, sausage and pork&beans. But no tea!:shock:

In the Scottish midlands and northern England, "high tea" is the name for the meal we call "supper". It does not mean a tarted-up version of "afternoon tea", which is pretty tarted-up to begin with.

If you went into a nice restaurant on The Strand in London and ordered "high tea" you would either get a blank stare or "afternoon tea" while being mocked endlessly back in the kitchen as an ignorant American.:lol:

What the little girls in 7.3 are having at the Dragonfly is afternoon tea. Fancy and snooty, yes. But not "high." And Emily would have known that.:evil:
