[@gogolala622]

Video ideas: • make a three course meal from your pantry 2 • have your family pick a couple of ingredients and make something from that • review boxed cake or brownie mixes to see which one is the best • try only indian or pakistani recipes for a day (please please make authentic ones; i’m sure most of your subscribers like me will come through) • try eating like chloe or your mum for a day • have a family member pick each meal ( like your mum picks brekkie and dad picks dinner) • eat like any influencer for a day • make famous recipes from the gbbo • try making only a certain chef’s recipes for a day or disney ones like inga • make your mum’s or dad’s dream cake • ask your family to pick a flavour, a texture and a baked good, decorations and make something using that info ( like cherry and chocolate fudgy brownies decorated with white choc)

[@deeska8775]

Deeska Grace, create the perfect afternoon tea at home.. As a follow up to your latest video, since you loved those sandwiches, you could do an all savory afternoon tea

[@deeska8775]

- make your least favourite dishes taste good by twisting them around

[@deeska8775]

- what activities/hobbies did you enjoy as a kid/teeneager that you gave up on? You could pick it up for a day or two and share your thoughts and share a bit while reminiscing.

[@deeska8775]

All BLUE: - create a mocktail that unites all the things a good beverage should have according to your taste buds and that is BLUE - you could also create a blue (themed) meal/dinner just because it's your fav colour

[@deeska8775]

- invent a pastry, dish or something different.. you said a couple of times you would love to become a food developer, so you could think of a marriage of some things you really love :-)

Also, I got tea for two even though I was by myself because the tableware they use to bring the food out is meant for two people and would look very bare if it was only for one! Hahahaha

I went to afternoon tea at the Ritz a couple of years ago and it was excellent, but a bit excessive (the man with the cake trolley kept coming around offering an endless supply... which sounds lovely, in theory, but since I felt it would be rude to refuse I went away feeling like I'd need rolling down the street). Strangest part was the trip to the loos: they are RIDICULOUS. Never had a more lavish toilet experience. Would recommend just for that.

When I was in Denver we went to a place that served tea. Small sandwiches ect but I'm sure its nothing like the U.K. so tea is considered a snack not a meal like lunch or supper? I've heard of high tea also. What is that? I'm so curious 😊

[@jbkid6]

April city girl to country wife afternoon tea is definitely something you would have for lunch as it’s a full selection of sandwiches and cakes. A high tea is fish(battered or breaded), chips, bread with butter and a cup of tea. This would usually be a meal for dinner Time

[@charlotteharden9162]

Afternoon tea was traditionally served to bridge the long gap between lunch and dinner. It would usually consist of dainty sandwiches (white bread with the crusts cut off, sometimes just cucumber as the filling) small, exquisite cakes, and sometimes scones with clotted cream and jam. Now, the traditional afternoon tea is just seen as a treat, or a cup of tea and small snack (crumpet, biscuit, cake) in the afternoon. High tea was a late meal served after work and was traditionally hearty and filling (meat and potatoes stew, or bread, ham and cheese for example). In the North of England, some people call lunch (mid-day meal) ‘dinner’ and the evening meal ‘tea’. Some people think only lower class people call the meals as such but really it is quite common. I am from the UK and Northern so some people may disagree but this is what a food historian would suggest.

[@Nettietwixt]

High tea was/is basically just the normal evening meal after work. It's much more substantial than afternoon tea which is more of a treat for better off people. Lots of people still call their evening meal tea, I use tea and dinner interchangeably. The high just got added to show it wasn't afternoon tea. We had high regularly tea as kids but the way my parents did it wasn't quite a heavy dinner. It would be things like sandwiches, pickles, sausage rolls, salad, eggs, cold meat and Victoria sponge or scones. A bit more substantial than afternoon tea.
