Talk:thick tea

RFV discussion: November 2018
Some kind of British afternoon tea? Never come across this, and can't find anything about it. Equinox ◑ 15:29, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I have cited the light meal, but not the high tea. Kiwima (talk) 21:20, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
 * The "high tea" definition is given in the OED with three cites from the late 1800s. The first is Susan Coolidge!   D b f  i  r  s   13:44, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Can you provide a link or copy those three cites to our entry so that we can close this? Kiwima (talk) 19:09, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, I was intending to do that, but my internet connection went faulty. I've added the Coolidge quote, but I'm not convinced that we can distinguish between the "slap up" meal described there (definitely "high tea") and the informal but more substantial meal of sense 1.  Does anyone object if we merge the two definitions, deleting the word "informal"?   D b f  i  r  s   20:08, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a plan. RFV-resolved Kiwima (talk) 04:13, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
