it says tea in the title and is under the heading of health benefits of tea. Where is the tea in this recipe?

Hi, For the person that commented about this sandwich and asked "Where is the tea?" in the recipe. In England, and often in the U.S., tea sandwiches are usually served with tea in the afternoons, usually about 4P.M. It is common to have small finger sandwiches and some small samples of cakes, scones, or cookies also. Sincerely, Becky

This was listed under the 10 portable snacks and it has fish and mayonnaise. That is not very easy to take out of the house in the summer. Also I do not think that the avocado will hold up well very long after being sliced. This is a good sandwich - just not for taking out with you.

Not enough color how about adding tomatoes and spouts.

To the person suggesting there isn't enough colour, and the one asking why the word 'tea' is in the heading... you're misunderstanding the whole concept. 'Tea' sandwiches are small, light, thin, easy to eat and most especially NOT messy sandwiches for ladies to consume with their afternoon tea 'get togethers'. It's an old custom. Adding 'colour' such as tomatoes and sprouts... brings it into the 'messy' category (and just any old sandwich). Google 'tea sandwiches' if you don't understand the concept. Scones, tea biscuits, and tea breads (also not made 'with' tea) (but served with some brewed tea is scrumptious) light biscuits, are also served with butter, clotted cream, marmalade, jams, jellies, etc. It's British but very appreciated here in the States.
