High Tea, in contrast, concerned the workers who returned home after a long day to a spread of foods such as pies, fish, bread and butter, left-over meats and sausages and potatoes served with pots of tea and glasses of ale. Left over foods were preserved by keeping them as cool as possible and brought out at 6pm for High Tea during the new industrialised Great Britain. It has been said that the "high" in the name relates to the use of the chairs that the middle and lower classes used at home while dining, such as stools, or even to the fact that some would stand whilst eating.
