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.

>>This also raises a question of preference: tea alone or with munchies?

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.

If Penguin biscuits (the British equivalent to Australian Tim Tams)
are available, then dipping is mandatory, followed by sipping tea
through the Penguin, then flipping the biscuit over, cramming it into
one's mouth and savoring that ooey, gooey, scrummy mess! Definitely
an experience not to be missed if one has the chance.

I have that problem when homemade oatmeal cookies are around.
