I´d like to talk about the origins of high tea in England. afternoon tea was started in the mid-1800s by the Duchess of Bedford. Around this time, gas or oil light was introduced in wealthier homes, and eating a late dinner (around eight or nine PM) became fashionable. At the time, there were only two meals each day -- a mid-morning, breakfast-like meal and the other was an increasingly late dinner-like meal.

The story goes that the Duchess found herself with a "sinking feeling" (likely fatigue from hunger during the long wait between meals) and decided to have some friends over for assorted snacks and tea (a very fashionable drink at the time). The idea of an afternoon tea gathering spread across high society and became a favorite pastime of ladies of leisure. Later, it spread beyond the highest elites and became more accessible for some other socioeconomic groups.

[edit] Merge all Indian Coffee House

Why do we need separate article for each branch of Indian Coffee House (ICH as commonly known). AFIK all are employee owned and managed by the Workers' Co-Operative Society, as "Indian Coffee House" is registered name. All the ones I have been has same staff uniform, emblem etc. It is there in many cities/states of India. And more in communist strong areas. Many of the one in Keralam are in/near by Universities or colleges and discussion/meeting point of students.

From http://wikitravel.org/en/Calcutta#Drink I feel ICH Calcutta is the same as http://www.indiancoffeehouse.com/history.htm

So we should merge "Indian Coffee House, Kolkata" back to "Indian Coffee House, Kerala" to form "Indian Coffee House". --Bijee 03:16, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree - people are more interested in the chain and the company. Specific references to individual coffee houses can be placed at the end. I believe there are more than a hundred coffee houses, so the sooner this is merged the better. Bcnstony 23:23, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

I disagree - the names may be the same but they have very different histories.

Agree - sections can be added to the existing article. Nobody is going to look these articles up on their own under their current names. Jouster 00:51, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Merge all. please, do this to be merciful. Anlace 23:04, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Done. utcursch | talk 08:06, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Restaurant With No Food?

Indian Coffee House is supposedly a restaurant chain, but there is not one word in the article about what it serves. Could someone please add a section on the food they serve? Cottonshirt τ 14:49, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
