[QUOTE="first14808, post: 1779135, member: 452612"] We Brits are weird. Traditional Brits don't have high tea, they have dinner or supper. That comes after dinner, or lunch. It's generally safe to assume tea is an evening meal, unless it's in a mug. Then it's strong with milk and 2 sugars. Unless it's dinner, then Earl Grey may be acceptable, but also try Lady Grey in the interests of equality. The Greys are also odd because of bergamot, which tends to create a circular reference, ie bergamot tastes of Earl Grey because Earl Grey's flavoured with it. And not much else.. Although on the things to avoid list, some nice marmalades include it.. But that digression aside.. I think I still miss bread the most. Mainly because it was so handy to put things on and make a quick sandwich. Or be the ideal compliment for sardines, mashing them on toast. Luckily my spud cravings have pretty much gone. As for making a traditional high tea, there's still low carb options, especially this time of year. So salad + hot or cold meat cuts, like tongue, ham, beef etc. which also fit an afternoon/evening buffet option. And as for lollies.. I used to make my own. Give some strawberries, pineapple or general fruit a quick zap in a blender, add to a lolly mold and freeze. So carb-wise, they skip all the added sugar. Consistency can be a bit harder, but if you get enough air into the mix while blending, they can turn out more sorbet-like. Especially if you make.. adult versions and soak the fruit in some rum, brandy, vodka.. :p [/QUOTE]
