My wife and I start discussing what's going to be on for dinner tonight. She starts explaining to me that her sisters are coming over and that they'll be having High Tea. Now I start wondering what High Tea truly is, by definition, having experienced not only the traditional cucumber sandwiches but also some pretty crazy treats that bear little resemblance to said staple.
Melissa informs me that it's essentially lots of different little things eaten together as a meal. I suggest that this is just a posh English version of Yum Cha.
I then suggest that perhaps the dodgy finger-foods served at certain larger functions (Ie, mini spring rolls, curry puffs, meatballs, etc) ought thus to be labelled 'Low Tea'.
Low Tea. I like it.
