Mr Halifax Goes to Tea

Good Morning,

In honour of surviving his Senior Mid-Term exams, my son and I went for Tea at Lady Di's British Tea Shoppe.  We went forth into the Glorious Sunshine, sharing a pleasant afternoon of excellent conversation & laughter.  We were seated near the cozy fire, surrounded by other happy chatting tea-goers.
As we have been visiting this Charming Taste of Britain for nigh on to 10 years, many of the ladies that serve in the Tea Room remember Mr Halifax, and always ask after him.  Even so, I hadn't thought to include it as a Hellfire Gastronauts' adventure until yesterday.  We did not go in costume, but rather focused on the delicious menu and ordered all manner of delights: Savory Sausage Rolls, Branston Pickle, Salmon & Cucumber Sandwiches, Fruit, Crisps, followed by Scones with Devonshire Cream.... And a Pot of Tea for Two! 

Ahmad Black Currant Tea for Two

Soup of the Day: Lentil with a side of Crusty French Bread

Savory Sausage roll & Tomato, Salmon & cucumber sandwiches

The Ploughman's Lunch

It's all about the Brown Sauce!

Visiting the tea shoppe has become a staple of our lives; where else could be get our Violet candies, HP Sauce, and Black Currant Tea?  And we were informed that Sunday, February 5th is Yorkshire Pudding Day!  Having never sampled this pudding, Chevalier and I immediately devised a dinner scheme and will post more on that later from Chez Valois. 
Are you hungry now? Or, perhaps you have developed a Thirst that only a Pot of Good English Tea will assuage....As the shoppe is very popular in Lake Oswego, reservations are recommended. They do not have a website, but you may find them on Facebook, and Yelp.
