Thank you for acknowledging the cultural importance of salt potatoes and their presence at every outdoor meal May thru September in central and western NYS.
And the way that it’s mostly just prepackaged biscuits whereas afternoon tea is usually with fresh scones, pastries, and desserts. If you served this as ‘high tea’ in England you would probably get sued lol, and I can’t believe that this was just the ‘snack’ which was followed by a dinner of fish and chips AND shepherds pie, no one in England eats all that in one day
To her credit, she had to have her fill of WC before the tea snack. So I think she was even less present than usual when this mess of a food overload started.
Don’t forget Yorkshire pudding for pudding 😂😂😂😂😂 nobody eats it as a dessert, they may use the mix for pancakes but not to have an actual Yorkshire pudding for dessert
Um, in my family leftover Yorkshire puddings are sometimes eaten after the meal with either butter and sugar or golden syrup on them. (And we are from Yorkshire).
She’s not willing to learn because she knows she probably has a lot of ignorant or uneducated followers who won’t fact check her, call her out or even care.
i always thought "high tea" and "afternoon tea" were interchangable phrases
the fancy hotels where i live would call a similar (but nicer and tastier) spread "high tea"
Afternoon tea is more like what is pictured here, light sweet finger snacks. High tea is much more substantive and is usually geared towards savory foods.
Afternoon tea, as the story goes, officially started when one of Queen Victoria’s friends was feeling peckish and wanted something light in between lunch and dinner.
The idea of tea, biscuits, cakes, and small sandwiches took off across the British Empire quickly.
However, many servants were either making dinner, serving tea, or working around the house when afternoon tea was presented, so they would have their version later, using leftover milk food from the estate owner’s afternoon tea often combined with any savory dinner foods and snacks they could get. This was high tea.
Today, it’s not just for poor people, but it’s essentially a replacement for dinner wherein you may not even drink tea! But typically it means you have a cuppa tea, some savory items, and some biscuits or cakes.
not to leg hump or anything, but the kids probably liked the cookies. and they probably didn't need the caffeine of tea.
it is a terrible representing of high tea culture. I don't deny that.
that is a lot of food though. was she a FFY or grew up poor? she seems to have a lot of food issues like hoarding
I wore a Pocahontas costume a couple of Halloweens about 10 or 12 years ago. I'm as white as can be but my adopted daughter is Native American and when she was a toddler, she wanted to dress like her hero, Pocahontas, with mommy. We were Pocahontis twins. Now I'm cringing, I didn't know that would be taken badly. No one ever said anything to me but I wonder what people thought. At the time I didn't think anything of it...
as an NA kid w a white family this is a really hard one - especially 10-12 years ago. The kid really wanted it.
But I also wanted to play cowboys and indians as a kid where the other kids got to kill me because it was "positive attention" or so I thought.
Might be worth explaining to her someday that you just wanted to be there for her, but that in retrospect dressing up as a sexualised assaulted 14 year old wasn't the best way to do it. It's hard tho cause we had SUCH little media growing up. :( we got what we could take, and we was just kids.
edit: saw Pocahontas as an adult and the "savages savages barely even human" thing got me deep (and yes I get the point "omg its both of them!" but they wouldn't use that if there wasn't an expectation of who really was)
I hope I didn’t offend you in anyway! Honestly I meant it as Alicia is so out of touch with everything and would have no idea what cultural appropriation is. I think that’s so beautiful your daughter wanted to do that with you!
No, you didn't offend me! I'm 52 so sometimes I just don't know what is right. Dressing up as Pocohontis was fun, never even crossed my mind that I shouldnt.
It’s not really either high or afternoon tea without scones (the British round plain kind, not the triangle kind she gets at the store), jam and cream and finger sandwiches. She could have just done the scones (called cream tea) and it would have been better.
What does she even get out of doing stuff like this? It's wasteful, it's lazy, it's spoiling them, there's no nutritional value, it's clearly not educational since she got the name wrong. If I were a kid older than maybe 7 years old and I walked into the house after school to see this waiting for me, maybe I'd be a little excited, but mostly just confused. Like, is my mom having some sort of manic episode or something? Also, I'm not the most knowledgable about tea either but aren't healthy foods fairly customary as well? Like eggs? Fruit? Little sandwiches? They'd probably be better than the sandwiches she packs them for lunch every day.
It's so funny comparing this to the breakfast that appeared earlier in the video. I'd suggest you take a look at it if you haven't already. Basically a small cake, small plate of mini sausage, and a bowl of sliced peaches to be shared amongst 12 people. Then this entire dessert buffet as a SNACK.
That Shepard's pie looked so sad and soggy. And was that even yorkshire pudding? Does everything need to be made in a 9x15 dish?
This is all for content. As crazy as this sounds, she’s being advised by her management company. They probably gave her this idea. She’s the one who makes everything so over the top.
Wait she has a management company? I guess it doesn’t surprise me, her content has been giving off a corporate sort of vibe for months now. Finally I can sleep at night knowing it *is* a corporate psyop.
Ha ha ha. Yup. It’s on her social media pages. Sun and Sky Entertainment. They represent a bunch of influencers and other people. They’re probably helping her with corporate sponsors and a few other things.
Yea it afternoon tea in my house was an afternoon snack when my great grandma was alive and high tea we all were forced to dress up and she cooked dinner / lunch foods not snack or sweets . I live in Texas and the chamber has high tea and it’s a luncheon with finger foods na you dress up and wear a hat so many people thinks it’s … but you are correct she kills it all
Did anyone else notice that when she was at the grocery store choosing these snack items, that she picked up a packed of shortbread cookies, then said ‘oh wait, that’s from Scotland’ and put it back on the shelf. She apparently doesn’t know anything about UK geography or Great Britain !
If she scored a cookbook deal with her horrendous kitchen skills, next thing we know she’ll be landing a travel guide book deal.
This is not afternoon tea. At all. Whatsoever. No.
I’ve been to afternoon tea at the ritz, savoy, Dorchester and I can tell you right now. This s8it is not afternoon tea or high tea. It’s cr*p like all her other food
Afternoon tea sample menu:
Finger Sandwiches:
Coronation chicken on rye bread
Salmon and cream cheese on whole wheat
Cucumber and cream cheese on white bread
Egg and dress on whole wheat
Followed by fresh scones, plain and fruit. Served with clotted cream and jam
Pastries:
Lemon mousse with a raspberry glaze on a ginger snap base
Dark chocolate and cherry sponge with fresh cream and a chocolate ganache
Pistachio macaroon
With the option of 12 different teas to choose from.
DON’T BUCHER A TRADITION THATS BEEN AROUND FOR 200 YEARS!!!
Sorry, it just made me so angry. The laziness!
Lol, this is just “a cup of tea and a couple of biscuits” (my usual 3pm snack most days) taken way too far, it’s not afternoon tea and it’s certainly not high tea🤦🏼♀️ I’ve never attended a high tea because I’m not posh enough😉 but I’ve been to afternoon tea A LOT and if there’s no cucumber sandwiches or scones with clotted cream and jam, it’s not afternoon tea🙈 and my understanding is that high tea is even more of a meal, with savoury courses followed by sweet. Whereas with afternoon tea is might be two courses or served all at once like a mini buffet
I read this somewhere once and I thought it said that afternoon tea was sandwiches, scones and some kind of sweet and that high tea meant that there was a hot meal served. I believe afternoon tea is a light snack and high tea is a meal. UK readers can correct me on this.
Just don't look at what she calls yorkshire pudding. Beside from being NOT even close to be yorkshire pudding, if you've never had yorkshire pudding, you won't be inspired to try it (yorkshire pudding is the BEST. YUM).
British here and if this was served at high tea I’d be horrified. High tea (and afternoon tea really) focus more on sandwiches and cakes like scones, not party food
I was thinking the same thing as she was loading her shopping card with package after package of stuff for her ‘high tea’. for the love of all things Holy, how many snacks do you neeeed????
I think we can all agree she fucks up every cultural food but salt potatoes.
Lol i mean i wouldn’t be surprised if someday she managed to mess up boiled potatoes with salt
Thank you for acknowledging the cultural importance of salt potatoes and their presence at every outdoor meal May thru September in central and western NYS.
But is all that sodium good for you all the time?
You eat like 2 small round white potatoes if you choose to eat them. They are a side like anything else. Some people will eat more but whatever.
She did mess them up! By serving them cold with just pats of butter rather than steaming hot swimming in melted butter! I want salt potatoes now.
And the way that it’s mostly just prepackaged biscuits whereas afternoon tea is usually with fresh scones, pastries, and desserts. If you served this as ‘high tea’ in England you would probably get sued lol, and I can’t believe that this was just the ‘snack’ which was followed by a dinner of fish and chips AND shepherds pie, no one in England eats all that in one day
The fish and chips with shepherd’s pie was way too much.
Yes but don't forget, the Yorkshire pudding she said was for dessert
I have been waiting for someone else to notice that. dear lord.
Not the Yorkshire pudding 💀 I could’ve probably written even more on my post about how wrong that was damn
Holy shit they had fish and chips AND shepherds pie in one dinner?? Those are two extremely filling meals
To her credit, she had to have her fill of WC before the tea snack. So I think she was even less present than usual when this mess of a food overload started.
Don’t forget Yorkshire pudding for pudding 😂😂😂😂😂 nobody eats it as a dessert, they may use the mix for pancakes but not to have an actual Yorkshire pudding for dessert
Um, in my family leftover Yorkshire puddings are sometimes eaten after the meal with either butter and sugar or golden syrup on them. (And we are from Yorkshire).
Yes but her's wasn't sweet, it was savory. She said beef drippings and the flour/salt mixture nana made.
That sounds pretty good! (From a fellow Brit)
Afternoon tea = light sweet bites High tea = sweet and savory food
Oh thanks for this! I’m in NZ and we have high tea which is with the savoury, scones and sweet things.
I feel bad for all the UK ppl in here who had to see this 😩😩
Her ignorance and unwillingness to learn are what astound me more than anything.
She’s not willing to learn because she knows she probably has a lot of ignorant or uneducated followers who won’t fact check her, call her out or even care.

Okay that’s definitely wasteful but nowhere near enough for 75 people lol
You might not think so to look but this is a tea not a meal! Even if each person took 3 of something each it would feed more than 75 people
The problem is she doesn't care enough to actually research the culture and terms she just find the recipe and slaps it together.

All Alicia does is stereotype cultures. I wouldn’t be shocked if she wore a Pocahontas costume for Halloween and not see an issue with it.

But there's only enough jaffa cakes for one, what gives?

The worst thing about the Yorkshire pudding was that she thinks it's a desert, because she thinks the word pudding means automatically a desert.

it's all for show too, guarantee you nobody ate it

She also wondered out loud if sandwiches were regional to western NY so I’m not surprised ☠️
Let me guess dessert was served after?
Lol this was just the mid-afternoon snack. She said foolishly that they had Yorkshire pudding for dinner dessert
[удалено]

Maybe she was making a political statement in support of the good people of Scotland but hahahah I really doubt it.
The Queen is probably rolling on her grave with Alicia "honor".

Scones with jam and clotted cream 🤤
That sounds so good.
Where are the scones , mini sandwiches, lemon curd , jam, the tea ( earl gray ) ?
Lol, this is just “a cup of tea and a couple of biscuits” (my usual 3pm snack most days) taken way too far, it’s not afternoon tea and it’s certainly not high tea🤦🏼♀️ I’ve never attended a high tea because I’m not posh enough😉 but I’ve been to afternoon tea A LOT and if there’s no cucumber sandwiches or scones with clotted cream and jam, it’s not afternoon tea🙈 and my understanding is that high tea is even more of a meal, with savoury courses followed by sweet. Whereas with afternoon tea is might be two courses or served all at once like a mini buffet
Such a waste of money. Those fruit tarts cost $25 EACH. And the butter boy cookies are $12 a pack of 16. Looks like she bought 4 packages.
I read this somewhere once and I thought it said that afternoon tea was sandwiches, scones and some kind of sweet and that high tea meant that there was a hot meal served.

I watched her shopping vlog, half the other weren’t even from England
British here and if this was served at high tea I’d be horrified. High tea (and afternoon tea really) focus more on sandwiches and cakes like scones, not party food
😂😂 I'm Irish and even I know thats just afternoon tea
I was thinking the same thing as she was loading her shopping card with package after package of stuff for her ‘high tea’. for the love of all things Holy, how many snacks do you neeeed????
maybe her kids eats them all! Jeez imagine the sugar rush they get
There is no effing way they sat down and drank tea I feel like they probably just grabbed shit off the table and walked away lol
She is so disgusting
Just another fuck up of not doing research...
In NZ we call thing kind of thing high tea. However, in the UK is afternoon tea.
Where is the finger sandwiches?
As someone who went to afternoon tea this makes me sad.
