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).
