Tea

[pacharan]

Had a young lady round for dinner the other night.

Did her Solomillo of pork a la reduccion de Pedro Ximenez (not an easy one to get right).

At the end of it she said "Ta for tea. It was lovely".

Tea? The word belittles my efforts somewhat. Tea to me is a sandwich and a French fancy at 4 o' clock, not the fruits of a 3 hour culinary marathon.

Does any of you lot call a cooked evening meal tea?

Yes... next.

Face it, she just doesn't fancy you and is trying to let you down gently.

She finds your over the top effort in serving up a pork chop embarrassing.

Loin of pork with a white wine sauce? Took you three hours? What did you do, wait for the pig to grow up and the grapes to ripen?

PL: you're funny.

OP: Yep, sounds like she doesn't want any more of your pork.

Always called it supper. We never eat before 9 so you could hardly call it tea at that time of day anyhow.

Dinner at midday and tea in the evening.

Anything after that is supper

Defo WNS.

Breakfast, lunch and supper or dinner if it's a posh one.
