Tea (meal)

Afternoon tea with bread and butter, jam and little cakes at the Rittenhouse Hotel, Philadelphia.
American afternoon tea finger foods.
Cornish cream tea, comprising tea taken with scones, clotted cream and jam, in Boscastle.

Tea (in reference to food, rather than the drink) has long been used as an umbrella term for several different meals. Isabella Beeton, whose books on home economics were widely read in the 19th century, describes afternoon teas of various kinds, and provides menus for the old-fashioned tea, the at-home tea, the family tea and the high tea. Teatime is the time at which the tea meal is usually eaten, which is late afternoon to early evening. Tea as a meal is associated with Britain, Ireland, and some Commonwealth countries.
