[@stevenagy7152]

Joe’s behavior is a bit boorish especially given the setting.

I hope Insider appreciate what gems they have in Joe and Harry and treat them accordingly.

[@geezygee]

Given they're producers now, I'd say so

[@hopegold883]

Just started the video. If one of them is the snarky American guy at the beginning, I might have to disagree. The snorts and head shakes are unnecessarily “ugly American”, like wherever we go, it’s up to the residents of the place to convince us that we’re wrong in our provincial, scaredy cat tastes. Maybe just stay home, dude.

That moment where Joe was talking with his mouth full, and Harry looked into the camera exasperated and was like "typical crude American" was priceless! 😂

[@DustyJones1997BGCL]

That scene alone really shows you the difference between American and British. As an American myself, I am definitely not that rowdy. If I was there I would be more sophisticated. I am so laid back. I can be British.

[@stevenagy7152]

That was a fantastic moment, even given the boorish behavior Joe exhibits.

Take your grandma and parents to as much places as you can. Believe me, time goes so fast, there will be enough for other activities when they are not with you anymore, but now that you still have them, share time with them, treasure those moments and record them. You don't know how much remembering their voices will be necesary in the future and how fantastic is to have them recorded to be able to actually listen them once more time.

[@tinnagigja3723]

After my mom died, I found a video on her phone. It's taken in hospice a few days before she died. She was clearly trying to take a photo of my cousin but hit record instead. My cousin asks 'wha- are you recording me?' and my mom's laughing voice says 'yeah, that's ok, isn't it?' Hearing her laughter is so important to me, and this silly, accidental, seven second video is one of my most treasured possessions. My dad died when I was 11. I have no recordings of him, and I can't remember his voice. I wish I could.

[@deniaridley]

Beautiful, because it's true.

'Honor thy mother and father' was not just pulled out of thin air. That's a gift to you, not them.

[@AroundTheWorldWithEase]

​@@tinnagigja3723I shed a tear at your story; I have had a similar experience, inc losing my mom age 10. Are any of your father's siblings or contemporaries still around that may help you remember his voice?

[@Elizabeth-n3v2u]

Good advice, unless like me you come from a toxic abusive or abandoning family. I never had parents who loved me, though I wish all the time I had. Life is so much harder without a supportive family. One of my grandmother's was a very twisted and cruel person. I don't miss her at all, it was a relief when she passed honestly. However I did have one grandma who was loving and kind and I am so extremely grateful I recorded her sometimes and miss her so much.

[@furrantee]

We need a running series of these with Joe and Harry going to visit the other hosts in their countries and then take them back as well. Keep adding a host each series and have everybody all together at the end.

One of the more fond memories of mine was a traditional tea party thrown by my grandmother in her spring backyard as a young girl

[@luisekahnt7387]

I have a very practical approach to jam or cream first: I would put first whatever has the denser consistency. This way it's easy to spread the lighter thing on top. The other way you would just mush everything underneath when trying to spread the upper, more dense layer.

[@micah1754]

Same here. I always do jam first with this logic. Let’s you get a much more even layer on the scone before spooning on the more airy light cream.

[@luisekahnt7387]

@@micah1754 To be fair, I always do it the other way round, because the clotted cream you can get where I live is very dense and heavy rather than light and airy. So for me it's always clotted cream first and then jam on top.

[@davidm159]

That's fair. I live in Australia now, and most places give you squirty cream. So you need to put jam first, regardless of your preference, really.

[@Myrre77]

We did the Bus Tour Afternoon Tea around Harry's and Meghan's wedding - everything was wedding themed and their favourite tastes and so on. Fantastic! And I still use my cup :-).

[@parthkhanna7485]

I am waiting for Harry and Joe to visit different countries in Europe , Asia and Africa and provide us fresh insights on food and culture.

[@geezygee]

Harry and Joe are 'experts' in their UK to US ventures. If they go to other countries, at least 1 of them will be missing, becuz there is always a local expert to compare

[@fayesouthall6604]

No that’s the best way to do it jam is more solid than cream. Butter, jam, then cream.

[@elphive42]

I’m from the U.S., and always have done butter first, jam second. Don’t know where Joe is coming from, in this - if you put the butter second, it won’t melt into the toast, and you will just wind up with hunks of butter.

[@ryanvowles7606]

You’d be happy in Devon

[@georgeprout42]

I usually go scone (or scone if you prefer), cream (or butter if not on a diet) then jam, then cream, cream, cream, cream, cream, cream, cream, cream, cream, cream, cream, cream. I don't understand why it's even debated.

[@Ahreigh]

No because putting butter ON TOP of jam toast is absolutely unhinged. Jam first for scones makes sense unless you are also adding butter to your scone which should be first.

„Standing for a whole play?!“ he says, incredulously. Good sir, have you heard of this thing called „concerts“? 😂 I love them, though.

I am with Harry. When I have afternoon tea (living in the US) I want the fancy slow-motion experience with excellent service. I know that my dad cherished the Biltmore weekend I gifted to him for years to come and still talked about having afternoon tea in the library, looking over the estate, while sipping tea and having sweet and savory treats.

Brigit's Bus!! I took my mum and brother for afternoon tea on the bus when we visited London in 2016. This brings back so many memories. Definitely a fun, if a little touristy, activity with friends and loved ones (plus I love how they let us take the tumbler home).

Nice banter between the guys. Thanks for sharing three afternoon teas with us.

[@Alex-ng6hc]

We brits really take afternoon tea to heart. I love how versatile it is. It could be three tiers with butties, scones, and sweets. Or it could be four tiers, with butties, savouries, scones and sweets. I love that the sweets and savouries can come in all forms and flavours. Or we could have cream tea, with just the scones. Or sandwich tea, with just the sandwiches. If only we could have afternoon tea every day, but we all know that there needs to be a balance

I’m sorry they’re right, Joe is insane, who puts butter on top of the jam on their toast? That’s crazy! 🙈

Clearly butter first because the butter melts into the bread causing the butter and jam flavors to remain distinct.

I think he was starting to say something that would strengthen his case. Cream on top of fruit is the norm in several circumstances. Cake and pie and such. But then he pivoted to toast and lost everyone.

Joe Avella, manners! PLEASE! Speaking with a mouthful, stuffing your face like you haven't had food in 6 days (or so) ... This is a ritual, and the food should be savored. I am appalled! And I am not even British. I love Afternonn / High Tea, though I have never been to the UK, but I have had the pleasure of having it in my home country, the same way it is celebrated in the UK. And I truly think it is more an "event", than eating as fast and as much as possible. It is so much more pleasurable to really taste everything and savour it, than devour it. I don't usually like tea either, but in this setting I find it quite enjoyable. 2nd place ... Hilarious, the two girls in the background (or is it a mirror?)

The reason for the different order of jam and cream is due to the different creams used. Cornish cream is thinner so can more easily spread on top of jam. Devon clotted cream is much thicker so it's easier to spread the jam on top of the cream.

Needless ro say she did it right (clotted cream then the jam). I was the savage barbarian with one scone with just jam, the other with clotted cream alone. I recall two elderly ladies who saw my barbaric way of eating and I could have sworn they whispered "Yank" like a curse. Very funny episode.

Joe if you did the butter first you might find the scones/biscuits are not dry…the butter soaks up and adds to it. I’m a Midwestern guy that is butter foundation first.

Clotted cream would be the opposite I think like you said, then it’s the topping….kinda like whipped cream is the topping

[@LeahsThings]

On "milk first" when drinking tea poured from a pot-- there's another reason, which is why I usually go milk first. Pouring your milk into a boiling-hot cup tea can sometimes scald the milk immediately as you add it, and then you get gross clumps of scalded milk floating in your cup. If you add milk first and then slowly pour in the hot tea, you're slowly bringing the milk up to temperature so that it doesn't scald. I used to test this when I first heard this idea, and it holds true!

When i lived in London and my grandma would visit, she always insisted that we go to Kensington Palace's Orangerie. Its a cute tourist experience and the tea was ~fine~ but whenever I pitched going somewhere 1) cheaper and 2) tastier, she said no, she'd prefer the Orangerie. Fair enough, I guess, the lady knows what she wants. More confusingly, she also didnt want to go somewhere properly posh, either. (With the noteable exception of Harrods. Which is not posh, its just expensive.)

[@ClassyGyal]

Harrods used to have royal seal by the Queen and a dress code so it definitely used to be posh. Still considered posh by us average londoners.
