@aruni_t It wasn't aimed at you personally, but was more about spreading the word (pun intended). Maybe a fancy Colombo cafe will pick up on this and fix their menu.
And since you live in England I am sure you know exactly if it's the clotted cream or the jam goes first on a scone. 😉

So if you're trying to sound posh, don't ask for "high tea."
The elegant tea tradition with fine china, finger sandwiches, scones, and pastries is called afternoon tea.
The more you know!😉

High tea was something quite different.
It was a hearty evening meal eaten after work by working and middle-class families, often including tea.
The "high" in high tea refers to the high dining table, not to the quality of the meal or its social status.
A true adventure.
It is also interesting to notice @guardian picked not just 1 (cover photo) but 2 photos from his travels to Sri Lanka for this article.
Wonder if Torbjørn Pedersen made a special connection with the beautiful island?
