    As the title says, what do you drink tea with?

    Whole idea for this thread came from the obsession of some people of having tea with a sandwich. I never understood that. I was always thought of tea as something to be drank with something sweet, like chocolate or cake.

    One of my friends slurps the tea while the sandwich is still in his gob. Ugh.

    Stop putting sugar in your tea. Problem solved!

    I can drink tea with a fry for instance, but there is something about a sangidge and tea that makes me gag.

    I only have one sugar in my tea so it isn't sweet anyway.

    Is it an agri thing I wonder? Like the Bull McCabe on the roof with Tadgh eating a bacon sangidge and drinking tae from a glass bottle?

    Sugar ruins tea.

    Tea goes best with a fry-up for me. Nothing like washing down sausages, eggs and bacon with a good slurp of tae.

    On cold days I love a mug of hot tea with honey. It does wonders for the throat.

    Personally, I like to perch an optional Jaffa cake on the saucer, like a proud soldier standing to attention beside a giant cup of tea.

    not a big fan of tae but it works with a fry. coffee and a fry wouldn't work for me at all. coffee pairs well with a sweet brekkie like pain du chocolate etc . I don't like the way tea and coffee in this country are served at the same temperature as the surface of the sun.

    Tea is delicious with most things, except something like ice cream or a hot dinner.

    It's best with a fry, chocolate and biscuits though. Although with a bag of Tayto cheese and onion flavour it's surprisingly nice too! Nom.

    City slickers drink tea out of a teacup making sure their little finger doesn't touch the teacup :P


    Would you like a sandwich Bird? :)

    Biscuits. Cake. Tart. Pie. Sandwich. Toast. Anything you have for breakfast really.

    I can drink a bucket load of tea and not need anything to go with it.

    But I cannot eat the above without a cup of tea (physically I can like but what's the bloody point).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 991 ✭✭✭SuperGrover


    Ginger nuts dunked in green tea.

    A friend who was staying a while back made the tea one morning. She got the salt and sugar mixed up and heaped a big spoon into the mug. Absolutely disgusting. I had the taste of salty tea in my mouth until the next day but the mental scars may never heal.

    Don't dip anything of yours into anything of mine unless you want the process painfully reciprocated. :mad:

    Fair play, kinking it up between the sheets keeps a marriage healthy, but do either of you like tea?
