Very British: Tea as a Meal

Afternoon tea is a drink of tea and sometimes a light meal taken at about four o'clock in the afternoon. In the UK afternoon tea is traditionally a rather formal meal where you drink tea and eat sandwiches (especially cucumber sandwiches), scones and cakes. Not many British people now have this type of meal at home, but it is still served in hotels and in special tea rooms that serve tea in delicate , finely decorated cups.
