Table manners

It is a vast chasm culinary that separates the English and Americans. I subscribe to only one magazine now since I have enough trouble keeping up with all my reading-I borrow from the library, and friends exchange books and I purchase the occasional book. It seems that I always have a backlog. This magazine explains that not only do we differ in our use of liquors but also cutlery and cuisine. Tea time which for those of us on this side of the ocean is a small meal in the afternoon is a major meal in England.
British cuisine has changed with the arrival of top-selling cooks like Jamie Oliver. However, the article that I read waxed on joyously about tea at a special hotel. One of these days I will make my way across the pond and try a real English tea.
Do read the latest issue of Victoria magazine and learn about tea and other lovely Victorian decorating ideas. It is a lovely calming magazine.
I read three daily newspapers so I am not ignoring the world and what is happening around me.
