What is the traditional British way to serve tea?

DawnyG, Biscuits yes, but not the chocolate covered ones. Ginger nuts or digestives are the best I believe.

DawnyG, gingernuts are the best dunkers. But there are other favourites.

Yana, who dunks scones in tea?? Biscuits definitely but never scones, that’s weird

Scones are yummy ! I won't dunk them because I don't like stuff floating around in my beverage.

Meryl, you could have said in the British Isles as Eire is also a tea-drinking country. The addition of scones etc is for afternoon tea.
