5th November. High (Calorie) Tea.

Clocked in at the local restaurant for the peculiarly Scottish phenomenon known as 'High Tea'. This traditional fare seems to be unique to Sundays. The event kicks off around 4pm, contestants are advised to bring an empty stomach. The first appearance on the table is about a gallon of tea, for everything else that follows to swim around in. Next up a rack of toast with jam like you're about to breakfast. Then the dinner arrives, usually good old-fashioned standards, I opted for close-to-extinction breaded haddock, 'Mrs Junior to be' had Growth hormone chicken curry with GM rice, Isabelle and Junior had steak and mushrooms with Creutzfeldt-Jakob fears and everyone must have chips. Then the tiered cake stand arrives with the ubiquitous selection of high calorie delicacies for the sweet tooth. These are all part of the set price, but what kind of constitution can stomach a fruit scone then maybe a meringue after a chicken curry?
