Last night, I went over to a friend's apartment for a viewing of the Best Picture winner, "The Kings Speech." Although I had seen the movie once in the theatres, I wanted to see it again to appreciate the visual and textual nuances in this brilliant film. We decided to go with our movie night, we would do our own version of an evening high tea with white wine instead.
I made three different types of tea sandwiches:
Each was served on whole wheat bread. The first was a smoked Nova Salmon with a garlic chive herb low fat whipped cream cheese then came an herbed chevre with watercress and butternut squash seed oil and lastly drunken goat's milk cheese with slivered Persian cucumbers and arctic thyme (brought back from Iceland). Each was delish, savory, and packed with flavor in each morsel!
We also had Neal's Yard Dairy Stilton, an apricot infused Stilton and a soft goat cheese with berries and Melba toast. The apricot infused Stilton was such a discovery because it had a more subdued punch than a normal Stilton but still with hints of blue piquance and a fruity floral apricot flavor. Certainly not an everyday cheese, but perfect for this occasion or spread on scones for breakfast.
There were also a few different types of scones with true English clotted cream. Overall quite the British feast for our viewing of this fantastic movie. What a fun way to spend a Saturday evening!
