The expression "tea sandwich" is merely a term for any fussy, little concoction of bread and filling or topping which you serve your guests to make them feel intimidated by your expertise. Nothing more, nothing less.
Take any type of bread and fill it or top it with anything, trim off the crusts, or not, and cut it into shapes with your cookie cutter. Shapes which are quite common in parallel universes are best. Arrange onto a platter which was made in 1951 and serve with a smile which says, "there's no way you can do this better than me. I'm superior to you and I have more free time with which to prove it."
Breads: rye, white, french (cut on the bias), pumpernickel..., home-made white to which food coloring has been added, crackers, etc.Fillings-Toppings:chopped egg, watercress, asparagus, caviar, tuna salad, tomato, colored cream cheese, pimiento, olive tapenade, radish, honey-baked ham, cucumber, etc.
Plus: mayo, mustard, steak sauce, real flowers, parsley, etc.
May the Lord help you.
