[QUOTE="jape, post: 2508853, member: 529653"] Yip, some of these terms are quite confusing. When I first saw the term "TEA", I could only interpret it as alternative term for the evening meal from the context, but I never heard it during the years that lived in London, in southern England. My guess is that it is a term used in Northern England. Please correct me if I am wrong. My understanding of "HIGH TEA" is that it is a late afternoon snack consisting of dainty sandwiches with tea. That is what I experienced when I traveled on British Airways from London to the US and Canada. Something that I still cannot get used to even after having lived for 30 years in Canada is that main meal in North America on a Sunday is the dinner (evening) meal, whereas in South Africa the main meal on a Sunday is at lunch time (midday). I always chuckle when Canadian tourists to South Africa complain that they could not find any restaurant open on a Sunday evening! I kind of remember that in the UK it is also at lunch time, but my memory might not be up to date! [/QUOTE]
