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)

"...eat with a cup of tea"
Eat? Crazy guys. :)
Smokey Lapsang Souchong, straight, with a cigarette.
That's the ticket.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
Best thing to eat with a cup of tea/ coffe is....
A penguin bar, (PLAIN CHOCOLATE)
Nibble both ends of then use it like a straw,
Then eat it fast,

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?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..

That reminds me that I also like turkish apple tea (though it's not really a tea, more of a cider, I think).
Ahh, to be in a bath house now (instead of 95 degree southern New Mexico).
I'ld even take some sh... ,well, famous english weather now. Donington weather.

By limp biscuits or whatever. That's a cross cultural link being forged right now. GAH GAH GAH !Ha, Turks dunk biscuits in their tea too. See the cross cultural links we are forging here?That taste is more familiar to the village folk generally. I doubt you'll see nobles doing it

Generally called as "Turkish bath", I think the unique word for it - "Hamam" is a lot more useful to define it.Ahh, to be in a bath house now..
3 smileys in one, I think I gotta go and watch a soccer match to pump up testosterone..Hmm..

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.Somebody tell me what this "Turkish Apple Tea" is all about ?
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.![]()
Uh, crumpets? I don't really drink tea that often.
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 ?Originally Posted by Martinus
