WHERE DOES THE CONCEPT OF AFTERNOON TEA ACTUALLY COME FROM?

The Duchess of Bedford in Buckinghamshire is said to have invented the wonderful tradition of drinking Afternoon Tea in the early 19th century. At that time, people ate enormous dinners but very late in the evening. The good duchess was hungry by 3:00 pm, so to avoid fainting from hunger, she instructed her servants to serve a lighter meal. It usually consisted of tea and cakes and sandwiches. The dish was perfectly adapted; it was not too big, so she didn't get too full. But it kept her alert and happy until the long, late, and indulgent dinners. She soon had company from her friends who also thought that Afternoon Tea was an excellent idea. Soon, the new and trendy meal was served in every household that considered itself stylish and refined.
