My mother and I enjoy tea time, nothing traditional like the British as we are American but we usually do afternoon tea when the opportunity arises, typically a single pastry, or sweet/savory item, a cheese, and the tea itself. We both prefer honey in our " hot tea" and 9/10 times I drink Earl Grey. It's not traditional by any means but any time a grown man can make a moment from his busy life to schedule an afternoon tea with his mother...is well worth it. I work an afternoon shift usually until early the next morning so when I get home I almost always have a cup of tea then. A small comfort after a 12-16 hour day
Everything you have there, were my mother's favorites but, she would have skipped the tea and gone for a coffee or bottle of champagne! She was the only person in my Scotch-Irish family, who did not like tea. She would need some chocolates and fresh flowers too! I love adding little mini-quiche Loraines. Buttering the bread does help with preventing sogginess a little bit. Thanks for bringing back a memory!
There are so many things you can do with the crusts. I have pulsed them in the food processor or my blender after my food processor broke and used the crumbs in meat balls and meatloaf. Onetime I made stuffed mushrooms and used the crusts in them. Yummm!!!I’ve also nibbled on them with some of the left over spread or with butter and jam. 😅
You can get French bread sliced long ways. Take crusts off, cut into long rectangle. Spread one side w egg salad or tuna salad, roll up n cut into 1 inch slices to make pin wheels. If you can find a baker that will dye the bread dough various colors for your sandwiches, then you are the Queen of Tea!!!!

That’s wonderful. I’m sure your mother appreciates the time you spend with her.
In England we spread quality butter to prevent soggy sandwiches and it add huge flavor! I Enjoy your recipes!
I've loved tea sandwiches ever since my grandmother made them for me as a girl. She taught me so much about life... I miss her.
Hi! Would you be willing to share some of your favorite tea sandwich combinations you learned from her? I’m curious what you favorites are!
Quick and easy to pull off. I love having tea parties for one…. me. Thanks for sharing.

It's better to cut the cucumber lengthwise thinly. The rounds fall out of the sandwich.
Perfect! No sweets are needed. These savory bites are my idea of a perfect tea time.
Lovely

Looks awesome! My only issue is that the crusts have to be removed 😂😅I’ve always loved crust! ❤
May I ask, what did you do with your crusts?
There are so many things you can do with the crusts. I have pulsed them in the food processor or my blender after my food processor broke and used the crumbs in meat balls and meatloaf. Onetime I made stuffed mushrooms and used the crusts in them. Yummm!!!I’ve also nibbled on them with some of the left over spread or with butter and jam. 😅
Cute!

Why did it sound like you sounded British like me when you said 'spot of tea' lol
😊I believe that she did it on purpose to be cute. I think it was; so mission accomplished.😊
Just letting you know if you need a mommy number two I'm available that looks absolutely delicious. I'm going to Old catch what's going on in the spread please share. I can't wait to be invited somewhere that tying it with a chive idea super Fab
Its not afternoon tea without scones.

Jesus Loves you ❤️
I spy thumbprint cookies.

You should wear disposable gloves when making food for others.
Ever gone into a restaurant most are not wearing gloves. Besides this his for she and her family not you.
Please, please, PLEASE don't ever repeat that british accent 😂
A spo of tea? Please don’t
No
Looks disgusting
Sandwiches for afternoon tea would all, without exception, have butter on them.
I know youre not really supposed to eat them quickly but i would inhale those in seconds
