[Taybha]

My butler does mine but I never eat them I prefer to feast on the Sunday league pies .

A good quality beef is always a good bet , finely sliced with a touch of horseradish.

Smoked salmon pref Scottish with a squeeze of lemon and cucumber

A decent mature cheddar with a quality pickle ( not branston ! )

Egg mayo ( go easy on the mayo ) with a dash of dill

Poached salmon with watercress ( expensive option but classy )

You get the picture .

Blimey, where have you been playing cricket? The Duke of Westminster's estate?

Those of us who play in more humble surroundings know that the real answer is egg or cheese and cucumber (although tuna seems to be the most popular option - not that I eat it myself)

Tuna and Cucumber, but the most important component of a Cricket Tea is cake, lots of it.

 

[Arkwright]

Egg and cress on brown bread.

Best tea, on tour in Devon, Ipplepen CC, win the toss field first and gorge tea just hope you're not batting in the top four.

Jevington have the most well renowned teas on my Sussex circuit.

With the price of tuna as it is I suspect that will be more The Duke of Westminster's estate than East Brighton Park these days.

Big no to gammon or cheese and onion or meat paste ! All are with the greatest of respect very downmarket choices and not acceptable for a good quality cricket match sandwich .

Most importantly use very fresh bread and only put it out ready for eating a max of 15 mins before or the sandwiches will start to dry out .

Some acceptable choices .

A good quality beef is always a good bet , finely sliced with a touch of horseradish.

Smoked salmon pref Scottish with a squeeze of lemon and cucumber

A decent mature cheddar with a quality pickle ( not branston ! )

Egg mayo ( go easy on the mayo ) with a dash of dill

Poached salmon with watercress ( expensive option but classy )

You get the picture .

Just about perfect.

Rare to get a tea like that though. Basic cheese and pickle is more likely.

If it's DIY then Coronation Chicken must be a strong contender ....
On Granary bread obvs

 

[Chicken Run]

Egg got to be egg

Agreed, iirc Crawley Eagles use to do a wonderful curried egg sandwich

 

[Insel affe]

It’s all in the name obviously.....

A little guilty hangover pleasure of mine is that in a toasted sandwich, white farmhouse of course

In the 80s I played for a while for a team from the London Trinidad community. The families would prepare chicken roti for tea; I would always recommend that.

 

[Is it PotG?]

As above, but added extra.

Liver sausage and cucumber. Don’t forget to cut diagonally.

I love both of those on their own, must try them together!

Sadly no cricket for me this season, a pain as I invested in some new gloves in January

Not that they would get worn for long of course...

One of the Crawley teams always has a good curry and rice available for tea. Had the same at Worthing Chips place too.

Smoked salmon. Don’t forget to cut the crusts off.
