Men Shouldn't Eat at Tea Rooms

Today, somehow...I got roped into eating at a Tea Room. As a matter of
fact, I'm there right now...mobile blogging. I have ordered a pick three
from the menu and the food is as sparse as the selection.

Now, I'm not saying that eating at a tea room is less than manly...well
actually I am, but when I walked in they told me they received their
goods in the back of the store.

OK...the meal is over, and the food was VERY good, and actually it almost, filled me up. I think us "macho types" have been missing out, we've been neglected - left out of the marketing approach for tea rooms. Of course the bill alone is ridiculous. Bottom line, there is WAY TOO MUCH STUFF TO BREAK in here. I don't belong here!!!!

I am learning a ton from you guys...and here I always thought it was "T" room...such that you could wear a T-shirt and still be allowed to eat.

When I was little and travelled with Mom, to ensure I wouldn't break something, I had to hold my hands above my noggin while we were inside fancy-schmancy joints like this...now it just embarrasses my wife.

Tea room, schmea room. Back me up here, Tom. A tea room (I'm talking about the one a.brain visited -- I was in the same group) that only sells tea by the cup (no pots of tea!) and closes at 2 pm (before tea time!) is no tea room, whether you're a man who's obviously still grappling with his masculinity (a.brain) or a chick who likes the idea of shopping for useless tchotckes after sipping a paltry cup of lukewarm tea. Somebody send the proprietor to England (or even the Drake Hotel in Chicago) and show her what a proper tea room is!

So I'm guessing you would have felt better if they had given you a "manly" pot? =)

I used to drink hot tea...but the place I went yesterday...didn't even give you a full pot of hot water. Just a little dwarf-like receptacle.

Come on...what's wrong with the tea rooms? They serve tea don't they? Well - that's good enough for my British heritage.
