      "If there is indeed anything sacred in halfling society, teatime would be it. And no proper halfling afternoon tea can commence without a healthy helping of nosh to hold one over till first eveningfeast. Shortbreads, strawberries, and creams are all fair and good, but any respectable halfling knows that the true stars of the afternoon delectables are the finger sandwiches. Stacked three-halfling fingers high with garden-fresh cucumbers, sweet onions, and a chive-infused cream cheese, these tasty little darlings are all the rage in shires, holes, and burrows everywhere—and you'd do best to hide them from unexpected guests."

    "The sandwiches' texture is best when fresh, so don't make them much more than 45 minutes in advance."
