My grandparents never used teabags - it was always loose leaf tea from a box, into a tea pot. A 'tea-strainer' was then used when the tea was poured in the cup to catch the leaves. I would say cousins too. We tend to think of Australia, Canada, New Zealand as siblings (and loyal) 😉😛
Teabags weren’t available in the UK when I was growing up in the 50s and 60s. We always had loose leaf tea and my parents used it even after teabags became popular. Moina Michael was the first to persuade the American legion to adopt them as a symbol of remembrance after being inspired by the poem, but it was a French woman called Anna Guerin who introduced the idea of mass producing them throughout all the allied countries as a way of raising money for veterans.
I was brought up on loose tea brewed in a teapot. We never used a tea strainer as the tea continued to brew as you were drinking it. As you got to the bottom of your tea cup there would be tea leaves left in the bottom so you would leave that little bit. To this day even though I now use teabags I still leave a little bit in the bottom of my tea cup. I guess old habits stick around.
Sure mate, no one living in any other country that has apples and learned to make pie every made apple pies. *facepalm* And yes, I know about the recipe being found for apple pie in England. Still doesn't negate the ridiculousness of the claim. What's next? Claiming that Gin is an English invention (forgetting about how the English only learned about it after being introduced to Jenever)
exactly, apples were around long long before they circulated through europe, probably originating in asia/egypt which had records of apples long before anything english appeared in the world. Some say southern Russia, some say Egypt.. but we can all agree, not even close to England. @@PDVism
Born in Ulm Germany, Einstein had the Swiss, German, Austrian and US-American citizenship. By birth he was Württemberger (German). He became stateless, when he didn't want to the military duty (1896 - 1901) from 1901 and onwards he was Swiss citizen. 1911/1912 he was Autrian citizen. When he lived in Berlin (1914 . 1932) he was Prussian Citizen (German) and requested for the release of the German citizenship, when Hitler took power. From 1940 on, he was an US American citizen.
Being an old git I recall the time when tea was always made in Teapot using loose leaf tea. Tea bags only began to take over about 40 to 50 years ago. Loose leaf lea does taste so much better as you can add the right amount to how you like it to taste.
The blue birds were taken to mean RAF planes as the RAF uniform was blue. The metal tea infuser was only used for a personal cup of tea. Otherwise loose leaf tea was put in a family tea-pot, one teaspoon per person and one more for the pot, near boiling water added lid closed and tea cosy put on and left to brew for about 4 mins. It was then stirred before pouring through a tea strainer. Milk and sugar to taste. Some liked to add the milk to the cup before the tea. The first tea bags had too few holes to defuse the tea and were not very popular.
I now use loose tea in a filtered glass pot. I use red bush tea which does not need sugar as it is naturally a little sweet and naturally caffeine free.
Teabags are DISGUSTING! Real tea drinkers never touch the things. Stainless steel teapot (warmed, of course. Never china, that just soaks up the heat and the tea doesn't mash properly). Loose leaf tea (Yorkshire Gold is pretty good), BOILING water (easy in the UK because we have a power supply capable of running real kettles) stand for 5 minutes, then pour through a tea strainer.. Of course, if qualty is of no interest, then tepid water, teabag for 20 seconds, is just fine. Unfortunately, that is what most café's and resaurants serve these days. If you want a job done properly, do it yourself. And regarding the rubbish Americans talk about the Boston tea party. Far from being a revolt against taxes on tea, (taxes on tea to the colonies was just 1/6 of the taxes in Britain) it was a revolt by American tea smugglers, upset that tea duty had been halved and their trade had been damaged. Maybe the teabag was America's way of insulting the Brits - it certainly insults our taste buds
The Benny Hill tune is American ( Yakety Sax ). Coffee had been popular in the UK. It's demised was caused by coffee houses, frequented mostly by men, occupied only the street level floor. Brothels then took the upper floor to be close to their customers. The phrase, going to the coffee shop, then had a double meaning. Drinking coffee was then seen as sinful to the Victorians.
Before the 1820s Britain only drink Coffee. Many of our institutions were founded in Coffee Shops i.e. Lloyds of London, many banks, etc. Lloyds started in a coffee shop called Lloyds. It wasn't till Robert Fortune stole some tea trees from China. then arrange to have the plants grown around the world. There by making tea far cheaper than coffee.
The American teabag was little silk bags , the modern paper teabag is German . I don't agree with the bounty story on here as they both are completely different . The UK bounty is pure coconut covered in smooth chocolate the American almond joy tastes like vomit .
Tea was very expensive & we had a couple of world wars to mess with our supply. Tea pots will have been more efficient at extracting the teay goodness, plus there were economic interests in all that paraphernalia. The tea cosy industry alone will have been worth, something. ...btw. Einstein was an American, just not by birth.
Oh no , Sweetheart , your poor husband must be going through hell when hes wife cannot get her favourite chocolate bar , Is your PO Box address up to date ?? Then you know what to do
Santa Claus is actually the US-American version of Saint Nicholas who was a 4th-century Greek Christian bishop of Myra (now Demre) in the region of Lycia in the Roman Empire, today in Turkey. It is believed that Saint Nicholas arrives to celebrate his day, December 6 (December 19 according to the Julian calendar), and leaves before Christmas. This tradition is well known and celebrated in Austria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, north-east France, western Germany, and Belgium.
I recommend the old film 'The Glen Miller story' to learn more. Also Vera Lynne had chart topping albums at the ages of 90 and 100; alas she is no longer with us today.
Although I prefer tea leaves over tea bags, I swithed from the "little metal thing" to more modern versions. Therefore I know use my little metal thingy for spices which do not stay in the dish when cooking hot pots.
Fun fact: America is actually British..lol.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
... and genetically speaking, all English people are German
America invented the tea bag, British thought of putting real tea in them.
@@charlestaylor9424but Americans took our British language then changed it, so Tea bags are technically British!!

"Once Upon a Mattress" was a musical based on the fairy tale "The Princess and the Pea."

Now you can relate to Romesh Ranganathan(you reacted a year ago I guess) saying his mother called him "bounty". It's almond joy😄😄
