The tradition of "British Tea"started in England in the early 19th century as the time between lunch and dinner lengthened. It is a small meal, slightly more substantial than a snack, usually served in the late afternoon.
A variety of food is served during "British Tea" such as small dainty
sandwiches, slices of cake, sweet tarts and scones. The main beverage
is, of course, tea!
Ingredients and Preparation
(Ingredients are for one sandwich to be cut in 3 sections)- 3 slices of firm, thinly sliced* white bread
- 2 slices of firm, thinly sliced wheat bread
- 3 tablespoons of strawberry-flavored (or your favorite) cream cheese
* Very thinly sliced bread can be purchased pre-packaged in most markets.
Spread the cream cheese on each bread slice as you stack them, starting
with white, alternating white and wheat. Finish the sandwich with the
final slice of white, pressing slightly so the layers all stick
together.
Cut the crusts from the slices of bread carefully with a bread
knife. Save the crusts for the birds - or your favorite bread pudding
recipe. Finally, cut the stack into 1 inch wide "fingers".
Important note: Adult supervision and participation is required for this activity.
