Speaking as an Englishman, I never use the term ‘High Tea’. I mostly associate it with the evening meals on farms in Enid Blyton books, lots of cold ham, tongue, fruitcake, homemade bread and real butter with lots of hot tea. My parents, who are from Northern England, retain the traditional northern/working class habit of calling the three meals of the day ‘Breakfast, dinner and tea’ as opposed to the middle class/American ‘breakfast, lunch and dinner’. ‘Tea’ in this sense usually means a bread-and-jam-and-cake/scones/crumpets type meal with hot tea, much like the ‘high tea’ on Blyton’s farms, only less fresh farm produce. ‘Brunch’ is not a word most people I meet ever say.
