Today we did high tea with a few comrades at Landgoed Westerlee. The welcome was excellent, perhaps the best of our entire visit. We received a jug of hot water (the chic teapot went to the neighbors) with a box full of Lipton tea varieties. We had that at home too, last week at AH in the bonus. Then the delicacies came on the table, served on the classic snack turrets. I had used the bread from the sandwiches that same morning to do the dishes, it was so spongy. Salmon was ok. We soon discovered that the entire arsenal of snacks had been taken directly from the freezer and was still defrosting above the fireplace (which was completely fake) before our arrival. You could still hear the freezer hum from our table. Moderate, we thought. Whoever wonders where the cakes and sandwiches come from: the Sligro. Can't miss. While we were quietly eating the ready-made school camp food decades ago, 3 dogs suddenly entered the dining room. And let one of us be allergic to those animals. Bah. By the way, the same person had an allergy to nuts and seeds. Upon inquiry, these were found to be in the 'muffins', according to the servant, while they were processed in the brownies. "Yes, but not in those cakes!" The clerk had clearly had a tough evening. Just before we wanted to go for a drink, we ordered a cappuccino as a closing. At least, that's what we wanted, because first we had to wait another half hour before we were asked anything. In the end the 'cappuccino' turned out to be nothing more than an unfiltered extract of the sea water from the Dollard. Downright disgusting.
