Why Savory and Sweet?
Why do we refer to savory and sweet
with our tea time treat?
"Savor the
sweetness of
a tea party!"
©Tea Party Circle
If an extensive afternoon tea is served, it is done so
with the embellishments of both savories and sweets,
as the tea usually takes the place of a mealtime.
So the more substantial savory (or savoury, as
spelled in Britain), starts out the tea as first course,
and then moves on to the scone, and then to the sweet.
The term of savory refers to fare that is not sweet, and generally is meaty, salty, fatty or sour.
