Actually, they don't have a high tea, even if they call it that. They have
a formal afternoon tea. It's rare to find high tea in the US (high tea
being an informal supper that is heartier than afternoon tea) except in
areas filled with British ex-pats. Many sites insistently and erroneously
say that high tea is the fancier type- they are wrong.
