what kind of sandwiches would you serve with afternoon tea?

Question

or high tea as some call it.

Answer 1

Like everyone else said. Cucumber is traditional.
I like
watercress
spinach
smoked salmon (lox)

you could also have tea cakes or scones or those nasty biscuits i think they are called crumpets. and most any kind of hors d'oeuvres will do.

here is a link to some recipes

Answer 2

Any kind of finger sandwich will do, though cucumber sandwiches are traditional (don't really like them, myself). Some other ideas for sandwiches include thinly sliced smoked salmon with chive cream cheese, a chicken curry spread, or prosciutto and fontina. Don't forget you can do individual pastries as well; they're quite traditional. Tea cakes, crumpets with clotted cream and jam, or bite-sized fruit tartlets are good, and if you go to a warehouse store like Costco or Sam's Club, in the freezer section you should be able to find frozen mini-quiches that bake up in 15 minutes and feed the Foreign Legion.

Answer 3

chicken salad; cucumber - you can do a search for tea time recipes. Also check out Tea Time Magazine. You can pick it up at Barnes and Noble. There are also some lists on yahoo - [e-mail] for one.

High Tea is a sit down meal with heavy food. Afternoon tea is where you have tea sandwiches, scones, petit fours and of course tea.
