I LOVE tea sandwiches. So lady-like, and perfect for an afternoon event, baby or wedding shower, even a cocktail party. These are traditionally served at the Kentucky Derby, originating from Miss Jennie C. Benedict, a local cateress, who first served them in 1893. They are meant to accompany other dishes, so the 4 to 8 servings will vary depending on what else is on the menu.

[email protected]These sandwiches were a bit too expensive to make. The ingredients were all very expensive, and I don't think the sandwiches were worth the price.

[email protected]I'm a vegetarian, so I made these sandwiches with tofu instead of chicken. They were still delicious! The avocado and bacon added a lot of flavor, and the bread was very good.

[email protected]These sandwiches were a bit too messy to eat. The chicken salad kept falling out of the bread. I think I would have liked them more if I had used a different type of bread.

[email protected]These sandwiches were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had added some more spices to the chicken salad. The bread was also a bit too dry.
