Please explain British Feeding Schedule

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

Good man, you know your tea

[JasonD]

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.

I like tea that you can taste the leaves in and that hasn't had colour or flavouring added.

Red Bush for me.

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...

[gm66]

That would be Afternoon Tea.

I think High Tea involves some six-shooters in a corral.

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

I think High Tea involves some six-shooters in a corral.

Umm that's "high noon" isn't it?

Please don't confuse us (foreigners) any further than we already are

[Brad]

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.

[JasonD]

We all drink tea in copious amounts, unless you are a beard laden wanna hipster from Shoreditch. If you are it's then a unique blend of coffee with a name so long it takes 5 minutes to order and the taste doesn't matter but "the experience" does!

That was not put together by a Brit...
Roast beef with no roasties, yorkshire puddings, or if I am not mistaken, Horseradish sauce.

And breakfast without bacon? Unthinkable.
