The quintessential sandwich is lovingly displayed on the middle plate of the three tier cake stand (Or a layer of your choosing if you do not wish to stand on formality). Sandwiched between a tier of sweetness and the first plate of scones, jam, and cream. The humble sandwich with its crusts unashamedly cut from all sides are displayed with the pettiest of savory mouthfuls.
Salmon and cream cheese with its thin layer of buttered bread, to the wonderfully and evenly sliced cucumber, contrasted against the thin pale slices of bread. Fresh, soft, and delicate!
From ‘Tea in the Garden’ to ‘Fireside Tea’ the sandwich makes its appearance in all matter of form and filling. For the heartiest of fillings try Ham and English mustard, rare roast beef and horseradish and cheddar cheese and pickle being substantial High Tea sandwiches.(Photo credit, Mette van der Linden).
