THE BOSTON COOKING-SCHOOL COOK BOOK AFTERNOON TEA With a pot of perfectly made tea (p. 36), thin buttered toast or finger-shaped bread-and-butter sandwiches are sufficient for an informal tea. A simple sandwich, plain cake or cookies are served if at hand but need by no means be considered essential.
