I had friends who had high tea at about 5pm which was meat and two veg but served with bread and butter and a mug of tea followed by pudding eaten with a spoon....This was eaten in the parlour.
I just googled Images of "High Tea" and it showed very fine little cakes and sweet things dolled up with whippedcream and cherries and ganishes galore etc on multi-tiered serving plates--that's why we think it is a joke when we serve only a cup of tea and a cookie from the cookie jar and proudly announce "It is "High Tea time" I guess serving it at 10:30 AM is also incorrect.
GrannyAnnie or any other US contributor....why is salad eaten in the US BEFORE the main dishes, please? Here it's served (if it is at all) AFTER the main dishes have been consumed.
Grew squashes this year, but not pumpkins. I tend to only grow those biennially, in succession....
