Lovely!

 

I’ve had tea at the Empress, I stayed there.

You need proper fruit cake and also smoked salmon sandwiches on Hovis.

 

For all my many experiences,Ive never had a proper High Tea . It looks divine !

 

Yummy! Butter tarts!

 

@komokwa - I have never had a butter tart, but it starts with butter & is a tart so I'm in!!

 

After looking them up, they sound like mini pecan pies minus the pecans. Pure goo with a side of starch? i'm down!

 

I have pecans here because many goodies can be elevated by adding pecans.

I love a piece of pecan pie but will only buy a single slice because I swear I would eat the whole thing myself.

 

Have you had Derby Pie? Sort of a chocolate chip pecan pie with Bourbon in it. A Louisville, KY specialty. So addicting.

 

Re: eating a whole pecan pie:

Now that's a thought.... I could do that, and if not I'd give it the old college try.

 

Heard of it. I'd definitely give it an honest appraisal. You'd get the pie plate back.

 

I like pecans in my ice cream...

just sayin

 

I will take pics of the tea party tonight and post them on the general thread tomorrow!

 

Yes, please!

 

When I was 19, I studied French at the University of Ottawa for 6 weeks in the summer -- free bursary from the federal government! There was a cafe near the university where a few of us went to eat. The owner made the best pecan pie -- I had a piece every time we went there.

 

It depends on how many chocolate chips are in it. I may need to "cut it" with some vanilla ice cream.

You need to try Blue Bunny Carmel Butter Pecan Praline ice cream if you can find it up there.

I truly wish I had discovered it when I was 19 because back then I could have eaten as much as I wanted but unfortunately that metabolism is looooooong gone.

 

I do eat mine warmed up and with ice cream! Yum yum

 

Derby pie as in Kerns? I thought that had walnuts? Or am I mistaken?

 

Come to think of it, I believe it is made with walnuts! We always make it with pecans at home so I forgot.

 

Pics and tea party talk on General Discussion!

 

What about macarons - they are almost too pretty to eat!
And for me Earl Grey is an absolute must.
