It's just not the done thing. You know, like putting ice in your tea. BARBARIANS! Black tea should be brewed by the gallon. 1 1/2 cups of sugar added per gallon. Chilled in the refrigerator then poured over ice with a wedge of lemon. (Remember this Peon, there may be a quiz later.)

This is foul and disgraceful misrepresentation of my words, Sea. You're facken lucky I don't come over there with a squad of redcoats and set you lot to rights for kicking us out two centuries ago. Three centuries ago. Whatever. "You're on bloke". "Bloke" is not used in that way. It is not a term of address, like, for instance, "mate".

Sweet tea!!! [:'(][:'(][:'(][:'(][:'(] More for EVERYONE else!!! Iced tea with lemon, no sugar.

PeonForHer -> RE: Tributes and Genuine Dommes (1/20/2009 6:01:10 PM)
Only the lower orders have anything other than milk in their tea, Lady Hib. BTW - don't become known as a "minty" - someone who puts milk in tea first. Bad form. [;)]

Yeah well I like to use mate only as a verb. How ineffably vulgar of you, Sea. You'll be reading books by that appalling Mr Darwin next!

LadyHibiscus -> RE: Tributes and Genuine Dommes (1/20/2009 6:04:29 PM)
What do you mean, milk in tea first? In the CUP first? People are strange.

LadyHibiscus -> RE: Tributes and Genuine Dommes (1/20/2009 6:12:09 PM)
I love you, Peon. [:D]

PeonForHer -> RE: Tributes and Genuine Dommes (1/20/2009 6:30:31 PM)
Thank you Lady Hib. And you're a bit of all right too. [;)]

The story I have heard is that in the past, pouring hot tea into a cold cup could cause the cup to crack. So, to prevent this occurrence, warm milk was poured into the cup first. However, the wealthy were not worried about having to buy replacement cups (or maybe their cups were of a higher grade and didn't crack) and disapproved of this practice. Cheers, Sea

Cheers, Sea Oh, of course, the joy of heat transfer! But the poor folk would be drinking out of sturdy beakers not flimsy china cups, so the whole thing smacks of urban myth to me! And sorry, I DO put sugar in hot tea sometimes. Not BOTH sugar and milk, though. That would be wrong. [;)]

PeonForHer -> RE: Tributes and Genuine Dommes (1/20/2009 6:52:01 PM)
The way I heard it was that the tea would "scald" the milk if poured on top of it. It was a sign of being a "minty" nouveau-riche and rather awful person if you put the milk in first - deeply common. They actually tested hundreds of cups of tea on a bunch of "tea experts" recently - and none of them could tell the difference between "wrongly" and "correctly" made tea. Sugar tongs with sugar cubes, though - still bad form. Teaspoons and loose sugar only, please. You'll love this: I heard recently that men are supposed to have two teaspoons of sugar in their tea or none at all. Women are supposed to have one teaspoonful, or none at all. A man who takes one sugar is (apparently) to be suspected as rather effete while a woman who takes two sugars might be considered a strident harpie with possible suffragette leanings. Maybe I should post this info on the "men sucking cock" thread? I take one sugar in my tea. I'm probably a closet bum bandit.

From Miss Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior: According to dear Evelyn Waugh, "All nannies and many governesses . . . put the milk in first," which has given rise to the disparaging remark, "She's rather milk-in-first, darling." Class indications aside, a lady of Miss Manners' acquaintance wonders how one would know how much milk to put in first, as she judges her tea by color.

It's a cultural issue. The British as a whole have an aversion to taking themselves too seriously. It's just not the done thing. You know, like putting ice in your tea. So then I should be sensitive to your phobia and not take you seriously ;-) Cheers, Sea Nobody else does; I see no reason why you should be any different.

Just as I was beginning to think it might be an urban legend afterall, I found this. http://www.electricscotland.com/food/jsimpson/tea_history.htm quote: When china was first used for tea, it was very delicate. Milk was put into the cup first to keep it from cracking when the hot liquid was poured in. Now, milk is put in the bottom of the cup first before pouring the tea in, because milk brings out all of the flavors of the tea, so say some people. Others insist the milk goes in after the tea, and still others don’t use milk at all. Demerara sugar – raw sugar – is what you find on the tables in Britain. When you use loose tea – the best as the flavor is better and the tea more clear – you put the milk in the cup, put the tea strainer across the top, then pour your tea so any loose leaves will be caught. If a tea leaf manages to get through and floats to the top of the tea in the cup, you will meet your true love that day. Another British superstition! Just enjoy your tea however you like it! And for a more comprehensive treatise: http://www.guardian.co.uk/notesandqueries/query/0,,-1400,00.html Cheers, Sea

quote: ORIGINAL: undergroundsea quote: Humans and animals attract attention from one another in many ways; yes money and power is one way I do not see this point to apply to our discussion. Do you really think tribute is defining attraction? If some guy writes you and offers you tribute, will he suddently be attractive to you? I need to speak here... I am a lifestyle Domme and I love the practice of D/s in all it's beautiful facets - BUT - I was a Pro Domme a few years back and I have perspective, I think... Are you aware of just how many professional submissive males equate their money with power? They often DESIRE that a strong, determined woman will take that power from them. Now if the giving away of their money was the point, they could give it to strangers on the street... the POINT for these men is for a woman to build fantasy and passion, instill fear or awe, and sieze that money in a show of feminine power. The tribute becomes a genteel metaphor for the power itself. I do not approve of Dommes who pull a bait and switch with submissives they may have on the hook, but at least some of the time, those Dommes may be misreading the submale as one who is into that form of play... here are no absolutes and a submale who constantly whines about tributes might want to tell a prospective new Domme in the FIRST post that they are not comfortable with the concept of tribute and asking respectfully if the domme will be expecting any. We are all adults, and most of the time the submales complain that they have been connecting with this Domme for a short (but intense) time, and that OMG she asked for tribute, after he was already emotionally involved. Um, perhaps he needs to take his time and not invest so much so soon?
