Personal Etiquette for Afternoon Tea When attending an afternoon tea party, you should chew slowly, savor snacks, mumble in a low voice and behave in a dignified manner.

For example, the wrist of the hand should not be close to the body as far as possible, or hidden so that people can't see it at all. This gesture means that you are closing yourself off, which is very impolite; When others speak, look at each other tenderly, which shows that you care. The cell phone rang. If the other person has something to say, it's right in the middle. Don't interrupt me rudely. Say sorry to the other person during the conversation and then answer. In fact, these are also the lady manners that need to be followed in other occasions. Traditional English afternoon tea is an informal social activity second only to dinner, which pays great attention to body shape.

Afternoon tea snacks The traditional Victorian afternoon tea of British aristocrats is made of three layers of porcelain plates.

On the ground floor, you can put some salty snacks with a sandwich, such as sandwiches and croissants. There are salty and sweet snacks on the second floor, but there are generally no sandwiches, such as traditional snacks such as English scones, muffins and bacon rolls. There are cakes and fruit towers on the third floor, as well as some small desserts.

The order of eating should follow the law of light and heavy, salty and sweet. Eat from the bottom of the three-tier dessert plate. Try the salty sandwich first, let the taste buds taste the real taste of the food slowly, and then sip a few mouthfuls of fragrant black tea.

Next, English muffins coated with jam or cream, the sweetness of filar silk slowly spreads in the mouth, and finally, sweet and thick fruit towers and cheesecakes are put into the mouth bit by bit, so that the sweetness slowly rises. The reason why we eat this way is that the sandwiches and croissants at the bottom can relieve hunger, just like the main course in dinner; Dingguota is a kind of cake with high sweetness, just like dessert in dinner.

If you eat the cake from top to bottom, it's all wet. Scone, jam dipped in sauce, is an English muffin. It doesn't look delicious, but it's a delicious mixture of salt and sweet. Generally, it is eaten with seasonings and dipped in various jams, and it can eat a variety of flavors.
