Tea Alone or with Munchies

For some reason this morning I ended up with a healthy, nutritious and satisfying breakfast of a small amount of jalapeno potato chips. Of course, I did not forsake my pot of Irish Breakfast (I've been drinking Tea Trader's blend every morning for many a year).

The combination was interesting. I had once observed that a good pot of Quan Yin with Szechuan food is heaven itself; but could it be that munchies or food that are salty and at least mildly spicy are a good adjunct to many if not most robust black teas?

(Though I've not tried it I doubt that this would work with a delicate Darjeeling first flush!)

This also raises a question of preference: tea alone or with munchies? I'm finding that I prefer the "with" option. The solidity of the munchies complement the thin quality of the tea (thin, for instance in comparison with coffee).

I find that some tea is so good that having anything with it would detract from it -- or at least be a distraction.

This depends on my mood. Sometimes I have tea with my meals and other times I have tea just for the pleasure of having a cup of tea.

At this time of year ... mince pies, of course!

If you have a sweet tooth, like me, and prefer off-the-shelf tea, you can't beat shortbread biscuits.

... the real question is to dip or not to dip ...

That's my dilemma when there are gingersnaps around.
