    Important: NEVER stick out your finger either you hold a tea cup or a glass. You cannot apply in the XXIc. what was considered a good manner [and depicted in painting] if the XVIII and XIX cc (at least definitely in these cases) - your will be looked and perceived like a "parvenue" . It's considered bad manners for a long time now for the very reason: 'Nouveau riches' and 'parvenues' tried too hard to copy upper class and stuck out their pinkies too mach and at any opportunity. It became a signature of bad manners vary fast [even a satire]. So, talking about manners, watch your pinkie, keep it close to your other fingers. (A historian here :))

      I'd have agreed with you if she knew what she was talking about. But since she was just making shit up, then no, America has enough con artists at its helm. It doesn't need any more in other areas of their lives.

      I can assure you that you dont. Most of us in UK only have time for a cup of tea and a biscuit. Outside of the home it's almost impossible to get a good cup of tea here. I've had better tea in New York and Paris.

    As soon as I saw the comic book style set, I knew I was in the right place. But as an American, I am slightly fascinated by the Conish vs. Devonshire cream debate. It's kinda like the North vs South iced tea debate: Most Northerners add sugar (if any at all) after the tea is cooled while Southerners add sugar while it's steeping making official Sweet Tea.

    • @sueflay9922
      @sueflay9922  8 лет назад

      The Basics of Eating a Scone Properly
      Scoop out clotted cream and jams onto your plate, enough for one scone.
      Break apart a small bite-sized portion of scone with your hands or if using a knife, cut the scone horizontally.
      Use a knife to slather on cream and jam onto the broken-off piece of scone.....
      My mother would have left the table if I broke my scone in half and started taking bites out of it. That would be considered terribly rude and anything but lady like ....
      I’m quite sure that if you we’re privy to finishing school you would break apart your scone into delicate bite-size pieces as is appropriate in polite society.

    The pinky thing came about because small porcelain cups have very small handles and made that way so you would only hold them in a dainty delicate way. this often meant that you could only use two or three fingers and hence the little finger.

    Hi miss sue. I love your video. I watched some of those afternoon tea videos on youtube. I love all of them. Afternoon tea is such a beautiful tradition.
    May you have a tipp for me... How do i ensure that i can enjoy my tea hot. I love love love to have it hot. In porcelaine temperature goes down quite quickly. For that reason i bought a turkish tea pot. It provides excellent and hot tea.
    But i ADORE all this china porcelaine tea services too. Do you have some tricks to share... how to serve hot tea with a traditional china porcelaine tea service?
    Big hug and thank for the lovely video.

    Thank you, it was interesting. And I want to add a comment: when I saw in the beginning of the video how you gave your dog to lick tea from the cup I felt unpleasanty and rejection. I believe people and animals should have separate dishes and cups. In the end it's good that you are interested in this topic. I feel the same way :)

    She got more things wrong than she got right. If she wants to break with tradition and do things her own way in her home, then bully for her. But she made a video called afternoon tea etiquette and then proceeded to leave out all the etiquette associated with afternoon tea. So many non-English are going to watch this and think this nonsense is actually true. You never EVER stick your pinky out (that's a huge faux pas) and high tea is tea served in the early evening late afternoon period which is a full meal. That's high tea, not just tea served on a high table. And that's just for starters. How can anyone teach etiquette when they can't even hold the cup correctly? She's no expert. Just someone looking for social media attention.

      It's important to note, that's it's called afternoon tea and not high tea being shown above. Many from North America seem to get the two mixed up. High tea is a more substantial meal (fish, meats, and the sort) served around dinner time. It is served at a "high table" (hence the name) and with high-backed chairs. Afternoon tea (as above) is between 3-5 pm, and is typically served on a lower table with lower chairs.. These days.. not always so anymore.

    Las galletas no se cogen con los dedos para mojar en tea, es preciso utilizar las pinzas y mojar las galletas sin que el líquido llegue a tocar el metal u otro material del que estén facturadas las pinzas. En máxima etiqueta las pinzas para mojar en la taza de tea son de arte extravagante,como recordando a una libélula o a un pico de pavo real policromado con sus colores originales. .Of course 5:24

      Sue Flay I don't have a tiny gold spoon, so I use my regular size silver spoon for my tea time....I don't like it at all because my silver spoon is too big, the color does not match. My tea cup, saucer, tea pot and tea caddy all have a gold trim ... I'm still looking, hope one day soon I can find a store that sell tiny gold spoon and fork !

    Did you know , by any chance, that was brought into England by Princess Catarina de Braçança, daughter of His Magesty The King João IV of Portugal, when she married King Charles II of England, around 1660? The Princess introduced the habit of drinking tea at any time during the day as she was used to in Portugal while living with her parents The King and Queen Of Portugal, back in the 17 century. Much later , in the XIX century The 7ª Duchess of Bedford introduced the "five o'clock tea in London.

    As an American, I will take my tea in a mug and I will put my milk in after as I need to gauge the strength of the tea. Honestly, I am just here for the pastries and good conversation. Everything else is of no interest. Except for your awesome looking dog. If the dog just happens to get a bit of scone while we’re chatting, more’s the better.

      They are the same its a bit of snob value.....however clotted cream is cornish .....clotted cream is just baked in oven then chilled it makes for a thick cream.and intensifies the flavour almost butter like...

    Never ever smash your butler over the head with a confectionary tray,
    Always remember to break wind into a hanky in front of guests.
    Always smash every piece of bone china at the dinner table afterwards.
    Don't Gallop a horse into the dining Area high on cocaine.
    Don't say Fuck or Cunt.
    Never invite the poor or homeless or insensibly Fat to an English tea party.
    Don't wrestle a local Afghan hound to the ground and arrest it for Bicycle theft.
    Always leave the premises very angrily with racist disdain.
    Headbutt Partario Battersby Lillyhammer and Milly Trouther Longshank to thank them for their kind hospitality
    Always curtsy constantly and apologise constantly while bowing and grovelling constantly, whilst consistently constantly courting crows from Croatia.
    Never set fire to any beard or eyebrow.
    Always turn up 4 weeks late for a tea party to make sure you get their early enough.
    Always laugh at every comment.
    Never ever ever, never, ever, never ever point at a tea cloth or white napkins, but always wipe your genitals after bathroom breaks with a "red" napkin.
    I really hope this helps, or I will get very Angry.

    You clearly know nothing about etiquette firstly you fold the napkin in half and dab your mouth withe the inside so it doesn't go on your clothes or the floor! We also use the thumb and the index finger to pinch the cup then use the middle finger to hold I up. You only split the scone once which is in half !

    As someone from England, you should only care whether you and your guests are enjoying your time. Stop wasting your time on etiquette, you're just drinking tea and eating cake and scones. It's an enjoyable event, don't make it hard and annoying for yourself
