High tea or afternoon tea?
Afternoon tea: the dainty little meal with cute sandwiches, cakes and so on, like you get in posh hotels and grand houses.
High tea: a more substantial meal, taken in the late afternoon. May well include hot dishes such as ham and eggs, and rustic items like bread-and-butter and hefty fruit cakes. The sort of thing the Famous Five would eat on one of their farmhouse holidays.
Oh, how I hate it when people confuse the two! Although any tea is a good tea…
