Stacked to a Tea

Recently for a teatime snack I made a stacked tea sandwich.

Not the neatest or the most beautiful I have seen,

but still delicious.

Using what I had on hand there was a layer with cucumber

and butter, curry chicken finely chopped, and egg salad.

The bread I had in the freezer was sourdough.

Though I love the flavor of sourdough,

it didn't really give the clean cut to make a pretty sandwich.

Next time I would use something more pliable,

such as whole wheat or plain white bread.

I called this a stacked sandwich,

it is sometimes called a ribbon sandwich.

They can be very pretty on a tea plate.

Sometimes you can coordinate colors

to carry out a theme. 

So if you have a little bit of this and that in your refrigerator

and you want something pretty and fun for your teatime delight,

why not try a stacked or ribbon sandwich.

The teacup was a gift from a friend along with a blue matching cup,

Royal Crown Pottery, Balfour, made in England
