Enough butter to fill the holes when it melts! Jam, honey or lemon curd, or even a savoury spread, on top of that is also an option. Crumpets are a bit like bagels in that they change texture when hot, becoming much lighter!Suellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04824039607448635437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1392898498834109106.post-35267967054356871842010-12-02T07:16:07.103-08:002010-12-02T07:16:07.103-08:00I;ve never heard of this hotel but the afternoon t...I;ve never heard of this hotel but the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bookatable.com/uk/offers/afternoon-tea">afternoon tea</a> looks to die for.

But if we did, we definitely would've allotted the whole afternoon.<br /><br />Joan:<br />Actually, if presented by themselves (ie, not as part of tea service), none of the food items really appeal to me. The scones would be what I like best (provided they're good). But for some reason, I am always strangely attracted to tea service! =)<br /><br />Wandering Chopsticks:<br />Strangely enough, it was kind of a lot of food. I was really, really, really, really full!<br /><br />I would've chanced it -- re going into the stall sans shoes -- but JS has a real problem with that. I would never hear the end of it! ;)<br /><br />tasteofbeirut:<br />I actually wanted to book a seating at the Ritz. But I was quite surprised that they were fully booked, even though I tried booking a monht in advance, and for a WEEKDAY, and at such an "early" (noon instead of mid-afternoon) time!<br /><br />shuku:<br />When you do, I'll be the first one to invite myself to your tea service! ;)<br /><br />Nice red-braised pork!<br /><br />Jenn:<br />Yes... it was still a nice way to pass the time. Teehee, I know! Now I'd really have to go back to London!<br /><br />KimHo:<br />Haha... well, you know how we like to be incognito on the blog. But, I can say that our "nice" clothes still will NOT be considered anywhere near "nice" by real fashionista types.

And now I can't because of all that flour! Never mind. I'll have to make my own.<br /><br />Oh, the modified red braise with the mushrooms and tofu came out -stellar-.

Frankly drinking tea at Marriage Frères in Paris is better and the tea comes in cast iron pots; the scones looked Ok. I am glad at least the chocolate cake was good; I agree with you, I have stopped ordering chocolate cakes in restaurants in Dallas, because it always ends up tasting like a box.tasteofbeiruthttp://www.tasteofbeirut.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1392898498834109106.post-88525031323439845852010-11-27T23:57:17.468-08:002010-11-27T23:57:17.468-08:00Aww, I would've felt ripped off with so little...Aww, I would've felt ripped off with so little food and paying for it in pounds.
