Hosting a fundraiser and doing a British Tea Party, making scones and cake and finger sandwiches and putting up bunting and finding cath kidston fake material and doing pimms and g&t and elderflower cordial and tea for the —losers— Jon drinkers. We’re in the US so what else should we do to make it “quintessentially” british (as in a bit twee but realistic....not fucking downtown abbeyesque....we did toy with white lightning and fish finger sandwiches but we need them to donate cash for the school!)

For international night at our school I made 2 dozen yorkshire puddings each with a slice of roast beef and gravy (kept separate so it wasn't cold when they ate it.

Went down a treat.

Jelly and icecream or trifle? Lots of places have jelly, few would eat it the way we do at kids parties/as a trifle - that's always got disgusted/amazed reviews when we've done it too.
