At 3pm today I was having afternoon tea at the Thames Foyer in the Savoy Hotel (a treat).
Started with a glass of Laurent Perrier champagne as you do!
Four sandwiches (with crusts off) with various fillings coronation chicken, cucumber, salmon etc. Probably all 4 would equate to one of my normal sandwiches.
A plain and a fruit scone next with clotted cream and jam and/or lemon curd. These were delicious - clotted cream is the way forward! I used all the jam!
Followed by 4 smallish cakes which were beautiful and not too sweet but bad enough for a diabetic.
All washed down with Savoy indian afternoon tea poured for you by a very attractive young lady! She was sweeter than the cakes!
BG at start was 6.6. BG after sandwiches and champagne 8.6. After all consumed 10.6. Now BG is 9 and dropping quickly after 2 hours 30 mins.
Not a bad result but I put it down to small portions and a walk to the Tube.
