The theme was spring so the first thing that came to mind was flowers and berries. Then a picnic and that lead us here: British High Tea. High tea has finger food that is meant to be easy to consume and often you see it depicted with sandwiches, scones, and mini treats. Here are a couple sandwich options! Makes about 8 slices each.
