Afternoon tea 

Afternoon tea is a time to have light food in between lunch and dinner, particularly for people who find themselves hungry in the late afternoon, and it has become a social event initially enjoyed by women but then most people. Afternoon tea first started in the 1800s and is now a fun and fancy treat you can enjoy.
