The Core

I have a Keurig machine and use a lot of Twinings English Breakfast tea k-cups.  (I can see you all shuddering.)


Yorkshire Gold I have to order tea bags from Amazon and it's pricey.  My hot tea consumption goes up in the winter time, helps keep me warm.

Yorkshire gold is so horrible I let them know about it.

There are generally 3 meals eaten by most Brits. I call them, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner but...... do appreciate different parts of Blighty call them different things (and as Gurtie said, it's all different on Sundays)

Tea time is all the time though - preferably loose tea and in a pot.

Hmm after Rooftop's post I'm confused (ok that's a bit early in the thread to get confused).

The thing that continental ladies, getting together around 4pm and drinking tea and stuffing themselves with scones and crumpets and cucu sammies and whathaveyou: is that supposed to be HIGH Tea or AFTERNOON Tea? Or is it a mix? Or none of the above?

I've heard from some semi-Northerners that High Tea is actually the equivalent of dinner, and that Afternoon Tea can be poshed-up in the way I described earlier. But now I'm not so sure...

The expressions of all these meal times are from Victorian times and bear no real resemblance to real life, any more than I imagine American's trekking across the plains in a convoy of wagons

So it's those in the north of Britian that eat and drink tea about every two waking hours?  I think this gives them something to do.

And breakfast without bacon? Unthinkable.
