Re: Tea Party Menu - help me brainstorm?
Everything Gracie suggested!
There are so many mini-sandwiches out there that are good. I like ones that are on a different type of bread (such as whole wheat or something) with something slightly spicy on them.
i've been to tea rooms where they have smoked salmon on top of pieces of toast and that's really good.
Mmmm! All of that sounds delish.
This is what I found online: A traditional afternoon tea, whether an Irish tea or an English tea, will start with finger-sized sandwiches, followed by scones with butter, jam and/or cream, then an assortment of cakes and, of course, lashings of tea.
Cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches, butter and watercress sandwiches, chicken salad sandwiches and egg salad sandwiches would all be great and really easy.
And in Wegman's British Foods section, they have some puddings, treacle and clotted cream which would be a nice addition!
I'm helping to throw a tea party this weekend, here is our menu:
finger sandwiches (cucumber, curried chicken salad, apple)
mini quiches
cheese & fruit
scones with jam & lemon curd
mini desserts (black bottoms, cheesecake, maybe lemon squares)
cupcakes
And lots of tea, of course!
Thanks, everyone! And thanks for mentioning Wegman's, EA! We have one in the area, but I don't often think about going there. It would be great to have some British treats to toss onto the spread!
So far I have:
It's probably going to be about a dozen ladies, so I don't want to go overboard on the food, as I'm prone to do. But I also know there's some finicky eaters (not dietary restrictions, just picky) in the group, so I want to make sure to hit on a decent variety.
If you can't find them already baked, Trader Joe's has frozen mini croissants that you thaw overnight and bake in the AM.
That sounds like a perfect great spread!
BTW I've been to that Wegman's, and the British foods are just past the produce section, where the potatoes are, and caddy corner to the area with the olive bar
