Afternoon Tea for Hubby's birthday?!
Afternoon Tea for Hubby's birthday?
What should i have on the menu then as he no longer wants to go to a Tea Shop!!!! (shame as i was hoping for a rest) I am thinking of little sandwiches with mixed fillings and scones with jam and clotted cream. What else can i do? (Am in UK)

Hubby just wants to stay home. I had already booked a tearoom high tea but he said no. As for a massage I can do that myself (have all the massaging gear) He just wants to relax at home.

It is my hubby that wants this...if it were up to me I;d have booked a meal out!

Take a look at the website for The Ritz in London - they have the whole menu of their Afternoon Tea listed - and the food there is SCRUMMY... Cut the sandwiches nice and small and take off the crusts. Scones and a few other different cakes too - how about individual sponge cakes and slices of fruit cake? Arrange everything on 'pretty' little plates - get out the best china and perhaps go overboard and get some paper doilies too. Hope you enjoy yourself, even if you're not getting the rest you wanted.
I know what i want for my birthday...and its not food or tea
Butterfly cakes - Toasted T-Cakes - Fondant Cakes - Crumpets - depends on how hungry his.
Make sure when you are planning this special outting that you are planning with his interests and likes, rather than yours. I know that European men are more liberal in their tastes than Americans, but unless he's a tea connoisseur, I don't think a High Tea service would rock many mens worlds.
Why not take him to a nouveau Sake house or for a massage and steam?
You made my day! I thought I was the oldest person on this site, but afternoon tea for your husband's birthday treat?
Try a 60s English definition of a continental breakfast. A roll in bed with a little honey. In case you've forgotten, there's such a thing as an 'all-day breakfast'.
Take him out for a really hot, hot, hot Indian meal. India's rise in the world wasn't built on cucumber sandwiches and scones.
finger sandwiches like you said
maybe some "petit fours"
small cheese cakes (you can make a cheese cake and cut it into smaller pieces to serve)
small eclairs
small croissants (you can buy those at your bakery)
