Afternoon Tea In The UK
In the UK, the word tea means many things. First off, it means
a cuppa (a cup of tea). Secondly, it means a cuppa, with sandwiches
and cakes. Or it can be a cuppa with a slice of jam and bread, or
toast. In some areas, particularly in the North, tea means dinner, the
main meal of the day, usually eaten at about 6p.m.
Afternoon tea is usually taken at around 4 or 5 p.m. It is not something that people do at home now. If
you want an afternoon tea, you can go to a tea shop or a cafe. It is a special treat. Your delicious food will
be served on a tiered cake server, with China cups, saucers, and plates. In some places, you can order
Champagne istead of tea. Having an afternoon tea with your friends is a pleasant experience!
