    UA, split the scone in half lengthwise, then add a nice thick layer of clotted cream and jam one on top of the other. This is the way it’s meant to be experienced.

      Seriously. Dude doesn't really know nearly enough about food to be a food blogger. It's cringe but its also wholesome at the same time and kind of hilarious. For some odd reason I'm here for it. It's like the lay mans interpretation of fine dining.

    Have had High Tea at the Ritz before, several times.The ambience is incredible. Can be a little overwhelming. The food, basically the same as in many other places. My favorite spot in New York is the Gotham lounge. They don’t let it get crowded, which suits me well. Small space, couches, comfortable, unhurried. Good food, very laid-back No need to get dressed up. Always told my daughters to meet me there at a certain time without fail. I would get there 15 minutes early to have an espresso and Sambuca at the bar. Then I would pretend I just got there to enjoy some nice tea, finger sandwiches and scones. So I’m not really a connoisseur.

    Some excellent advice provided here by those who like myself have eaten many an Afternoon Tea. One further piece of advice. You put some clotted cream and jam onto your own dish and then you put them on the scone. Remember you sometimes are sharing the jam and clotted cream. I highly recommend anyone experiencing Afternoon Tea for the first time, needs to watch a video offered on RUclips on the proper way to enjoy such a culinary experience.

    Wow! UA you were in Ritz London having English high tea! Good on you! You must have booked it very early. We went to London in Feb and I wanted to try the high tea in Ritz London but it was all booked out for the period we stayed in London. So we booked the high tea at the Claridge hotel at the heart of Mayfair and loved it. The dress code was not as strict as the Ritz but the food was exceptional (compared to what you showed in this video), you should try next time when you’re in London.😊
    Btw we were the couple who sat next to you in the episode when you reviewed Delmonico’s NYC (hope you still remembered) 😅

    Oh dear, scones are meant to be split and then spread on either the jam first and clotted cream on top, or the clotted cream and then the jam. I recommend something to prop up your phone while you’re eating so you can use both hands. 😉. I think you may have enjoyed the Ceylon Orange Pekoe or Organic Dragon Well tea more than you did the breakfast tea. They probably used English cucumbers, as opposed to the American ones.

      I usually take my bergamot blends- my afternoon tea of choice- as is, because i, myself, rather enjoy the flora notes of a zesty bergamot blend. But, sometimes i get naughty and go full black, instead. and add a splash of whole milk, and feel slightly frisky as a consequence...

    That afternoon tea was really good value, dont forget its the Ritz, there was an abundance of food, even more that you could finish. It might not be mind blowing, but lets face it , you can't expect a Michelin star experience for £75? Definitely value for money. Plus those scones didn't actually look like scones? more bread like than a scone!

    don't take a bite off the whole scone....you need to cut or break it in half and spread the clotted cream and jam. :))

    From all the comments about proper way to eat scones. I truthfully didn't know that was a thing either. Being a middle class North American with not much exposure to this type of experience myself. Interesting to learn.
    It's kind of like learning that culture. Maybe not the harsher comments. I'm sure UA had no offense intended.
    I take it as a comparison example. It's maybe like seeing a person pour soysauce in white rice. To chinese ppl it's really not done. And worth mentioning.
    Thanks for the lessons! Noted. Split scones and add cream and jam.

      Actually in regards to the soy sauce and rice... we do do it 😆 Also, in Japan there's this dish that you mix rice, raw egg, and soy sauce. There's also the general addition of soy sauce to rice porridge too, especially when you're feeling ill (marmite or bovril in SEA).

      You could eat scones like the late QE2 did - jam then cream on top.

    The Ritz London has a much better presentation with the plating than the NY tea you had. I noticed the Ritz waiter is relaxed but helpful obviously used to people who haven’t had tea every day. Cute how they called the egg salad egg mayonnaise with watercress. Because that’s exactly what you do for egg salad, as opposed to all the weird things people think you should do to egg salad. ❤ I am American and was taught to break my bread before I butter it so I’m not sure but I believe with scones you don’t break it into small pieces butter or whatever it- you just prep it in half and eat it? Does anyone understand this?

    What kind of savage just bites into a scone!? They’re meant to be eaten with cream and jam.

    The afternoon tea at the Krasnapolsky Hotel in Amsterdam is pretty good. And "only" 49 Euro. Because its the EU prices that get advertised are the final price, tipping is completely optional so you really do only pay 49 euro. Staff get payed a full living wage so they wont mind. What I like about their version is that they select the tea for you. You get 3 types, one with each course, almost like a wine pairing. I think thats more interesting as an experience because you get to try different things. I went there last year to treat my mom on her birthday and she got a complimatary box of chocolates, made in house. Very good service!
    Also, they dont do sandwiches but its more like savory bites. Maybe not as traditional, but perhaps a little more exciting. So when in Amsterdam I can really recommend it, especially for that price. Everything is made in-house, they have their own patisserie in the hotel. And its served in the grand cafe which has good views over Dam Square right in the heart of the Amsterdam old town.

    Youwei, you're not supposed to put milk in before sugar. Milk cools the tea down and makes the sugar melt less efficiently.
