A year or so ago I organised a special afternoon tea for someone after consulting gor some of the things on here with you and picking the best suggestions. It was an amazing afternoon tea. Below is a descriprion of it. I am about to repeat the experience in a few weeks time for someone's special mum. Anything you think I should change to make it even better? Thanks.
Top tier:
Portuguese tarts
Fruit tartlets
Mille-feuilles
Chocolate torte
Coconut macaroons
Lemon drizzle cake
Middle tier:
Fat rascals with strawberry jam and clotted cream
Bottom tier:
Smoked salmon and dill
Cream cheese, cucumber and black pepper
Chicken bacon and avocado
Ham and mustard
Roast beef and Horseradish
mini pork pies with cranberry topping
Drink: start with a champagne toast and then earl grey, darjeeling and milk oolong

Sounds amazing but personally I think there's too much choice. At an afternoon tea you want to try one of everything but I think someone's mum might be outfaced by all this. It seems more like a buffet than afternoon tea. |

"I would lose the pork pie. I think it is hard to make a mini chicken, bacon and avocado sandwich so I would lose that too. I would add the smoked salmon to the cream cheese sandwich. "
Both good suggestions and can see why, thanks. |

I'd eat all the cakes but none of the sandwiches
There's something on all of them that I don't like 😞
So when you make one for me, please adapt as below
Egg Mayo
Cream cheese and black pepper
Chicken & bacon
Ham
Roast beef
mini pork pies
Thanks

In all fairness though MB, it sounds lovely - I'm kinda awkward with a lot of foods
I do love a Fat Rascal though 😋 |
