We simply must ask – do you do things the Devonshire way and insist that your scone should be slathered with cream before adding jam? Or do you feel strongly that the Cornish way, of jam then cream, is the right way to go? Here at SquareMeal, we believe that however the toppings are layered, they taste equally as delicious. Once upon a time, afternoon tea was very much just that, a small sweet bite like a scone with a cup of tea, or a few finger sandwiches. But now, this British tradition has totally evolved, with many restaurants even offering themed afternoon teas, revolving around well loved film series like Harry Potter, and Disney classics, or opting for a seasonal holiday theme. Wherever you dine, it’s fair to say that afternoon tea is a very refined, relaxing experience that will make you feel as though you’ve just been lifted off the pages of a Jane Austen novel.
