I made Bruce Richardson's recipe several times for events at my store and I love everything about the story surrounding the "Maids of Honor". I heard that the door on this tea room is original - wonder if you noticed that? I hate when people ask questions in comments. Thanks for sharing and linking this beautiful tea room near Kew Gardens.

Originally I had planned to tour Kew Gardens but then decided to tour Ham House instead. Kew Gardens will have to wait until the next trip [if there is one]. Your trip is just delightful, and I'm enjoying the posts.relevanttealeafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147226538911605568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615274882068597937.post-57982149467318555552016-06-21T11:11:42.320-07:002016-06-21T11:11:42.320-07:00Oh, how I would love to bite into one of those Mai...Oh, how I would love to bite into one of those Maids of Honour! How fun to know that you did!<br /><br />I think most of us that love tea realize the difference in afternoon tea and high tea in the 19th century and into the 20the century in England.<br /><br />But, this is the 21st century and it has become more common both in the US and England to refer to an afternoon tea served with additional savories to be called high tea. <br /><br />Agree or not, one should take time to read about it on Fortnum and Mason’s site. They are certainly experts when it comes to serving tea.<br />https://d1329pvav7gzp7.cloudfront.net/cms-assets/LkWhjBLYRoOZzdE1ZaiA_146885_TeaMenu_V2.pdf<br /><br />Scroll down to read their reason for also offering a high tea menu and scroll further down to see their menu.<br />marteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12558373136075288685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615274882068597937.post-11708879097604377152016-06-21T08:27:01.147-07:002016-06-21T08:27:01.147-07:00Oh my, I am *stunned* to hear that they are callin...Oh my, I am *stunned* to hear that they are calling it high tea! (For the benefit of American tourists who don't know the difference, perhaps? I wonder …) Lucky you to visit the real Maids of Honour!

Still dream of those Maids of Honour tarts! Do you suppose the American influence of using the term 'high tea' is working its way across the pond? It's much easier to give in then to continue to explain the difference.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03394597758723246533noreply@blogger.com
