"Oh, she's a milk-first kind of girl."
--English Etiquette, during a meeting on how to drink tea properly
...
We had a marketing meeting last week where as one of the learning activities, we were taught a crash course on proper tea etiquette (which seguewayed seamlessly into a course on proper meeting etiquette). One of the notes that stuck out was that you were not supposed to add milk to your cup before pouring the tea into it first. To do so was considered to be a low-class sort of action, hence, the excellent snooty quote.
