    No, No, No...it just HAS to be rich tea biscuits (with or without chocolate)...or at a pinch, shortbread or custard creams, dunked of course.

    as an aside, when I was a nipper, I used to have buttered toast with tea for my supper....I always dunked the toast, which sometimes broke off and fell into the tea, now I know this sounds disgusting, but to a kid it was delicious, a tea and butter combo.

    what exactly are ? a) McVities b) Welsh cakes c) crumpets
    a) a brand of biscuit popular with the masses.

    b) cakes from Wales (ie I have no idea )

    c) hmmm....they could be a sort of aireated bread type muffin, or my favourite...a fit bird with (hopefully) easy virtue.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    They look quite tasty, I think I might try some.

    When I drink tea , which is very often, I usually just have a light biscuit or even a chocolate cookie

    The correct answer is strawberry madeleines.

    Fried Chicken. And lots of ice in the tea.




    No seriously: I'm american, but my friends and I have a semi regular tea party.
    I prefer the classics. Earl Grey with a few drops of cream (but I do stir !), with it I like either shortbread, or crumpets with mascapone and lemon curd. I'ld love to try some of the welsh specialties, but they're unoptainable here in the US (well, without goig broke, that is)
    When I said Death before Dishonour, I meant alphabetically.

    I've got to agree, partly, with Kukri I tend not to eat with my tea. I've also gone off regular Tetleys tea and only drink Jasmine tea nowadays.

    There is a biscuit brand called Eti Finger with not special flavor which only and at best goes with tea. You just can not understand what they added in a plain flavor biscuit that it becomes the "wife" of tea. Well, I'm going to get some right now..Yummy..

    Edit : I forgot mention some "old" habit with tea. You take that biscuit and dip the half into the tea and then eat it. Now that's some pleasure..

    Ha, Turks dunk biscuits in their tea too. See the cross cultural links we are forging here?

    Somebody tell me what this "Turkish Apple Tea" is all about ?
    When was on a cruise a few years ago with my mum, nan and sister, we stopped in Turkey twice, first in Instanbul and then in Kusadasi(SP, city of bird or something). Everywhere we stopped on the tours they gave us chilled apple tea.

    I and many other people assumed it was some kind of Turkish thing.

    EA, Tricon:
    I have some of my ancient family recipes so if you are ever in my neck of the woods, or I am in yours, I will be glad to bake (Welsh cakes and bara brith) for you if you provide the tea.

    EA, that Welsh cake recipe sound like the diet version compared to mine.

    Yes it's Kusadasi (direct translation : Island of Birds ). That town is located within borders of my homecity - Aydin. So I am rather familiar with the Aegean culture. However I still could not figure out anything like chilled apple tea that is a local drink. Well, are you sure it was apple extract ?
