"Top Ten Tuesday" is an original feature/weekly meme created on the blog "The Broke and the Bookish". It was created because they are particularly fond of lists. It is now hosted by Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl.
Since I am just as fond of them as they are, I jump at the chance to share my lists with them! Have a look at their page, there are lots of other bloggers who share their lists here.
Wilde, Oscar "Only Dull People Are Brilliant at Breakfast" - 1946

This week's topic is a Freebie. I picked Food since I missed that a while ago. This time, in the order that those meals are served/eaten during the day. Breakfast, Tea(time), Dinner.

I was very surprised when I found out years ago that for a lot of British people, tea not only describes the drink but the food that we would call dinner in general.

📚Happy Reading 📚
Breakfast seems like a common theme! [grin]
ReplyDelete'Tea' is an interesting one which varies depending on location. Apart from the drink our 'tea' (in the North West) was a light snack (with tea of course) around 9pm, whilst dinner was at around 6-6.30.. Tea as dinner is (I think) mostly a Southern thing.... The English are a bit odd that way [lol]
In the where we lived, they used tea especially for the dinner they would make for the children and then have proper dinner later for the adults. I learned at school that high tea was like a late afternoon meal.
DeleteI once read a translated book where they had translated the children's tea with the drink tea. I was quite confused as I didn't know it at that time. In Germany, we wouldn't serve tea (or coffee) to children.
This post is making me hungry. :)
ReplyDeleteHeehee, Lydia. I'm sorry. Or not. LOL
DeleteFood always makes me hungry when it involves books! haha. Great topic
ReplyDeleteSecond time sorry, Leslie. ;)
DeleteA Bill Bryson title I've not read? I didn't know such things existed.
ReplyDeleteYou probably have, Stephen. It's the German translation of The Road to Little Dribbling. But it had the word "teatime" in the title. Sorry for the confusion. But I did mention it in the post. ;)
DeleteWhat a fun choice of topic! I love breakfast :)
ReplyDeleteSame here, Dini. The larger, the better.
DeleteFun topic choice! Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cindy. And you!
DeleteWhat a fun idea! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lark. There was something with food a while ago but I missed that week, so I had it on my list for a while.
DeleteWe use dinner and tea pretty interchangeably here in Australia, at least my family does.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your #TTT
Maybe your ancestors were from Southern England, Shelleyrae. See my answer to Cyberkitten ^^. Come to think of it, that book I mention there was from New Zealand.
DeleteFun topic! I did not know that for British people, 'tea not only describes the drink but the food that we would call dinner in general.' Us Americans, just think of tea as the beverage. However, 'High Tea' does refer to the finger foods/snacks that come with tea.
