I have just posted 3 British Afternoon Tea recipes if you would like to see how to make Prune Scones with Rhubarb Jam and Clotted cream. th-cam.com/video/b0vHDxqfiLk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DXSYnfZpr32SMzIo
I hold dual Canadian - British citizenship as my Canadian father fought in WW2 where he married my British mother and I was born there. I have spent many periods working in London over the years. One thing their supermarkets have that we do not is pre-made tubs of sandwich fillings like coronation chicken, chicken tikka massala, tuna, salmon, etc. Makes making sandwiches so easy.
@@chancemathews7057 Look both ways when crossing the road. Traffic drives on the opposite of the road in UK. As a pedestrian I almost ended up as road kill many times.
Lemon Chive, very, very nice idea. So refreshing! Same, I love using a bread knife and using the crusts for croutons is an excellent way not to waste! Love it! Cheers, Ivy.
I cover and place the sandwiches between two cutting boards and refrigerate two hours before removing crusts and slicing. This ensures your sandwiches are neat, tidy and easy to handle when placing on server, club sandwiches included.
From Michigan . Watching at 1:45 AM and wishing I could reach through the screen and try ,at least, one of each ! Thanks for posting and the inspiration !
A great idea is having different types of bread , l love to serve some dark brown thin flat bread with thin smoked lamb & another dark brown bread with a good slice of Swiss. So many choices even shrimp salad with a bit of caviar garnish. So many ideas come to mind.
Oh nice, I need to have a tea party with you:) You have wonderful taste can you give me two of your favourite sandwich ideas and I will try and make them? I plan to do a second fancy sandwich ideas. It would be great to showcase 1-2 of your ideas?
I could not agree with you more. This is one of the reasons I started the channel, I was living abroad and wanted to show friends that British food and get it away from the bad rap it can get. Thanks for watching, have a wonderful weekend.
I can't wait to have a tea sandwich party for my Americans. It's something I love to eat, love to make and it will satisfy vegans equally. I love tea sandwiches.
What a lovely, straightforward, to the point, unaffected presentation. Thank you! I appreciated that without all the over-the-top fake airs and graces that so many other channels carry!
Thanks for your lovely comment. It has been a steep learning curve...my videos in the early days were not good although the recipes great. Got some more classic British recipes on the way...give me a few months as I am moving countries right now 🤪 Have a great week.
@@bettyparker3476 From what I've read, it got its poor reputation in the 20th century as a result of: * Many years of rationing due to the two World Wars, with the Great Depression squeezed in between, plus various other extended periods of austerity, all making cooking with butter, meat, sugar, and imported goods more difficult. (These crises also lead to the collapse of the aristocratic house kitchens, and with it their institutional knowledge, where much of the advanced forms of British food culture had been carried out.) * At the same time, the rise of processed foods and standardization was making food (and drink, see e.g. the "Campaign for Real Ale") bland and homogeneous all across the industrialized world (including here in the USA). So together, for visitors to the UK (who would then write home complaining about British cooking), or even for locals in the cities, trying to get a meal that best represented the English/British culinary tradition was often tricky for much of the 20th century. The countryside had it better in availability, but was limited to what was local, but then this got taken from granted (and many people didn't realize how special what they had was; many a British cheesemaking tradition died or nearly died this way by the 1970s, replaced by generic mass-produced industrial cheeses) Add to this being ever under the comparison shadow of French cooking, which has dominated Europe ever since the modern restaurant developed there (itself an outgrowth of the French Revolution, which resulted in a large number private cooks suddenly needing to find new work, and hanging out their shingle to serve a burgeoning middle class), and which in turn produced the great restaurant cookery treatises by Careme and Escoffier. Thus French haute-cuisine was the standard by which all else was measured. Thankfully, the interest in the last few years in a move away from canned and processed food, toward more local, farm-sourced, flavorful food with local terroire (The BBC TV series "Pie in the Sky" depicts this renaissance well), as well as in cultural heritage at risk of being lost, has really favored a return of interest in classic British cookery.
These are the best tea sandwiches I have seen or come by! I like that thier simple yet they could easily be filling and flavorful and having a wide selections for a nice afternoon rest!
@@Amandafusion1 I's so sorry I didn't seem your comment earlier but I wanted to let you know that I made them and they we stunning! Had them with a nice cup of mint tea on a rainy say and I swear it was bliss or paradise! Thank You! ang Blessing to you and your loved ones!
@@Mr.56Goldtop I reply to spam or questions with variable tone. This was without additional tone. I am a fan of bacon grease as opposed to mayo on some sandwiches. Not all the time. I feel like if the sandwich has lettuce on it, you would use mayo, though. If it were like bacon and tomato or a bacon melt, perhaps just bacon grease.
Hi Amanda!! These all look so fabulous! I couldnt pick a favorite!! I just think tea sandwiches are so elegant. I went to an afternoon tea last year in Las Vegas at the Waldorf Astoria. It was $60 a person for tea sandwiches and little fancy petit fours, Your sandwiches looked so much better!!
I was watching a video about the English tea served at The Ritz in London, and their sandwiches looked aweful. I like the look of your sandwiches very much.
Thank you so much , I have had so many people ask could i do another video with different flavours so this will be out soon, its on the list to record:) So hopefully you will enjoy this too. Have a wonderful week. Amanda
I love these recipes! I’m going to be making them all for the kings coronation on Saturday! Thank you for your wonderful content, I’m going to be looking up the recipe for the mango chutney next❤️
Absolutely lovely and practically salivating…English Tea’s is my favourite and you have clearly made and displayed a keeper! Thankyou! I’ll be checking out all your videos!
Thank you so much. Some of my earlier videos were not as good but re with me , We just moved countries and am busy renovating our apartment and new kitchen so have some really classic British recipes planned for May:)Have a great weekend.
Ok will check more later today thanks for all your help with this stuff I’m going to be back here after my lunch ok will go to the park today I don’t know what plan today maybe stay home
Hi there, thank you so much, have a wonderful weekend. Will be posting some recipes again soon as I am in the middle of building work at the moment:) God Bless.
@Auntie A's Kitchen we have a vixtorian time hotel called grand pacific hotel where the Queen stayed in the early 1900s and they make afternoon tea but its very mediocre compared to yours, i would add my homemade coconut and mixed fruit scones to it
Great video. I would suggest putting mayo on the bread for some of them, otherwise, people who are lactose intolerant (and, chime in if I need correction, vegan? also) can't have any of your sandwiches.
Thats a great idea, I had not thought about that. There should always be a selection so everyone can have something:) I will do this in the future:) God Bless.
I had a canned salmon sandwich with some Earl Grey the other day, that was my "version" of English tea time as an American. I think I did a pretty good job lol
Great vid, I’m so glad that your coronation chicken recipe omits sultana’s. And I love that different fillings were cut in different ways - it’s little touches like that that guests appreciate.

@@Amandafusion1 good luck!
I don't know why that's a thing. I always thought English/British was fantastic. I enjoy the more delicate flavors.

When you live abroad we learn to adapt. Did you cut off the crusts? 😜
@@Amandafusion1 Didn't think to do that honestly. We Americans tend to eat the crusts haha
Great vid, I’m so glad that your coronation chicken recipe omits sultana’s.

So true, a little effort makes all the difference and just looks nice ha ha. Thanks for watching have a wonderful week.
