When I lived in England (1987-1989, not too long ago), high tea was a more substantial meal - sliced meats, cheese, bread, pickles, etc. and afternoon tea was little cucumber sandwiches, cress sandwiches, along with buttery rich tea cakes and scones. Am I wrong in this? I get my knickers in a twist when I see "real High Tea served" at pseudo-English restaurants/tea rooms, when they're serving tea cakes and scones. (well, not really, but it annoys me!) If someone who really knows tells me I'm wrong, I'll untwist my knickers and shut up. Off my soapbox now, and thank you.
