Thanks to Groupon, I bought two half-price coupons for a 'Queen Anne' high tea, one for two persons and one for four persons.
I love tea but I've never been to a real tea service before. I've looked up Devonshire cream, which sounds delicious and inordinately unhealthy, but can someone born in the British Empire please explain to me what a lemon curd is? What is Crème Anglais and how is it different from Devonshire cream? I'm not a big olive fan, so I'm not sure how the cream cheese and olive sandwiches will sit with me.
BTW, I intend to wear a top hat with a
10/6 card in it.

Queen Anne Royal Tea for Two

Start out with two personal pots of tea and a soup & salad combo plate for each then on to a 3 tiered server with twelve assorted tea sandwiches and two full sized sugar scones with all the trimmings: homemade lemon curd, Devonshire cream and butter. Finish off with two desserts from our daily selections. A feast fit for a Queen!
