Hello lovelies,

 the Kochkulturmuseum (Food culture museum? 1:1 translation, no idea if it makes sense) announced a new Victorian Tea-time event. And Pi, Hias and I decided to even though it was somewhere in lower Austria. Usually for events like this we stick to Vienna but we wanted to borrow my parent's car which would make the travel cheaper. In the end, we had to borrow a sixt car for five hours and had to pay 122€ plus gas. Ugh. We started travelling around 1.3pm as it took an hour and the event started at 3pm.

It was foggy af, actually it has been foggy since in the beginning of December. We arrived and still had an hour left so we fled into the nearest warm shop, which was a bakery and bought bread and christmas cookies. The doors were opened on time and we had took the lift to the second floor. There, we entered a super cute room which was decorated with the red plates I knew. 

We immediately got this tower of sandwiches at our table, cucumber sandwiches and relish with cheddar. Latter was definitely my favourite. 

Continuing with the food, we also got artichoke and mushroom pies which were really good. I am not a fan of artichoke but I liked it. The pie was moist and tasty, but definitely nothing I would want to do at home.

And here is the cucumber sandwich. We also got three different kinds of teas - one white and two black but since I am also not a fan of white tea, I really enjoyed the other two.

 After stuffing my face with sandwiches, I went over to the sweet treats. The scones had no clotted cream but raisins in the dough so this was the only one I ate. Definitely not a fan of raisins.

 We also had a plate of gingerbead and buttery shortcake, and then plum pudding, which was lit on fire with enough alcohol to probably set the whole room aflame. Afterwards, we got a mug of wassail, a hot mulled punch. My sister and I were more fond of the non-alcohol version of it.

And, of course, a picture with a wonderful filter giving the room it's pastel colours back. I am wearing my baby the stars shine bright dress called Flower Garrett Juliet Onepiece, long version.

 I have been to two different Tea parties now and have to say that the ambience was great at both places, as was the food but the quantity of food was much greater at this party. What I liked more last time was that they set your Christmas pudding aflame on your table, that didn't happen this time. They set it aflame on another table and dimmed the lights. It would have been even better if they did this at every table.

All in all though it was a wonderful afternoon with plentiful of good food. Hias was so amazed that he asked that we go to the next event too. That was great as he had showed no interest in 2023 when I asked him to join us for the first Victorian tea party.
