Cucumber tea sandwiches with tarragon butter are a classic in British cuisine, closely related to the afternoon tea tradition. This delicate and fresh appetizer emerged during the Edwardian era, when British high society enjoyed them as part of a social ritual that brought together friends and family to share moments of conversation and relaxation. In Latin America, although there is no single universal name, in some countries they are known as "cucumber sandwiches" or simply as "cucumber snacks," and their recipe may vary slightly depending on the local ingredients used.
Their popularity has spread to various regions due to their light and refreshing flavor, ideal for accompanying infusions or coffee. Furthermore, the combination of cucumber with tarragon butter provides an aromatic and sophisticated touch, making these sandwiches an elegant and healthy appetizer that adapts to different occasions.
