A menu. Why a simple listing of food? Because this was my first tea since going gluten-free in 2000 (and a long time before that, too!). It was my first opportunity to have a slew of different foods prepared for me (and about 36 others). I'm not a foodie, or a gourmet, but it was just such a treat to visit the St. James Tearoom and be served the same as anyone else.
