The British call high tea a necessary meal in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
English High Tea usually involved a mug of tea, bread, vegetables, cheese and occasionally meat.
Variations on high tea could include the addition of pies, potatoes and crackers.
It is important to add that the Afternoon Tea menu served in the UK today is often refered to as high tea in many other parts of the world.
The upper class 'high tea' involved the amalgamation of Afternoon Tea and high tea, with the addition of pigeon, veal, salmon and fruit.
Some venues do serve a special high tea menu, in addition to Afternoon Tea, which includes additional savoury items such as Welsh Rarebit, English muffins, pies or omelette.

The British do not call what we thought to be high tea a ‘high tea’, instead, it’s an afternoon tea.
A high tea on the other hand wasn’t a luxury, it would be a meal for the ‘common’ people, around dinner time, often well before 8 pm.
An afternoon tea used to be a meal for the wealthy, an afternoon tea would also be called a low tea.
A high tea would be a meal for the ‘common’ people, around dinner time, often well before 8 pm.
High tea in the Netherlands refers to a long relaxing event where you drink tea and eat a lot of small savoury and sweet snacks.
However, we quickly realized, that the British do not call what we thought to be high tea a ‘high tea’.

De Britten noemen high tea gewoon "tea", omdat het een avondmaaltijd met thee is.
High tea wordt vaak verward met afternoon tea, maar refereert aan een andere set tradities met heel verschillende oorsprong.
In veel arbeidershuizen in Groot-Brittannië wordt de maaltijd na het werk nog steeds "tea" genoemd.
High tea was bedoeld als een maaltijd voor de arbeidersklasse die een volledige maaltijd nodig hadden na een lange dag werken.
Het werd "high tea" genoemd omdat het op een hoge tafel of aan een hoge toonbank werd geserveerd.
In Groot-Brittannië vandaag de dag wordt de avondmaaltijd in veel arbeidershuizen nog steeds gewoon "tea" genoemd, wat het belang van thee in de Britse cultuur beklemtoont.

The addition of the word "high" to the phrase "high tea" is believed to differentiate between the afternoon tea that is traditionally served on low, comfortable, parlor chairs or relaxing in the garden and the worker’s after-work high tea that is served at the table and seated on high back dining chairs. Today, the evening meal in working-class households is still often called "tea" but as working patterns have changed yet again, many households now refer to the evening meal as supper. In Scotland, high tea takes on further differentiation. A Scottish high tea is not unlike an afternoon tea but will include some hot food, such as a cheese on toast or other savory goodies. The working lives of many do not allow the time to sit down to enjoy scones and cakes in the late afternoon, so for many, this ritual is now saved for holiday and special treat.

In Britain today, the meal that is referred to as 'high tea' is often called 'supper' or 'dinner'.
In many homes, it's still referred to as 'tea'.
The word 'high' has been dropped from the phrase altogether.
For working-class men, sitting down to have a hot cup of tea with a bite to eat had to wait until after work - i.e. 5 pm onwards.
By that time, and after a long working day, people naturally felt the need to eat something more filling than sandwiches and cake with their much-awaited pot of hot tea.
The phrase 'high tea' started to be used to describe a working-class meal served at a high table and high back dining chairs at the end of a long workday.
The tea would be accompanied by a hot meal.
This could be a meat or fish dish or baked food or vegetables.
'High tea' had nothing to do with the elite social gathering that started back in the 19th century with the Duchess of Bedford!
And in a nutshell, 'high tea' is not the same as the afternoon tea that we now all know and love.
It consists of a more substantial meal served at the dinner table and eaten later in the day.

In England, High Tea was a term used for the middle and lower classes’ supper. High Tea was a more substantial meal than simple Afternoon Tea that was sometimes called Low Tea. In fact, it can still be a big no-no to confuse the two in England. High Tea also referred to the height of the table, as the dinner table was higher than the coffee or tea table where one might enjoy a light snack. Some people in England still refer to dinner as tea. Nowadays, this can mean an upper-class event around 4 pm, which a trip around Hyde Park might even follow.

In America, we’re accustomed to calling a fancier afternoon tea “high tea” – sounds appropriate for a posh high-society affair, right? Actually, that’s what working classes in much of the United Kingdom call their evening meal. High tea, meat tea, or simply tea is a hearty evening meal among working classes in certain regions.

High tea is a working-class meal eaten around five o'clock onwards, usually consisting of a hearty meal and a pot of tea. Today, we know this as ‘dinner’ or ‘supper’. Some of us still refer to this meal as ‘tea’ but the ‘high’ tradition has faded over the years. High tea was traditionally served 'High', meaning at a high table with high back chairs. It was typically a substantial meal of meat or fish, bread, vegetables, and tea to drink, and it would feed the gentlemen and women who had been at work all day.
