Three Patch Podcast

@threepatchpodcast / threepatchpodcast.tumblr.com

Three Patch Productions produces the Three Patch Podcast, a podcast dedicated to the fandom culture, social issues, creative works and analysis inspired by the BBC Sherlock television show. Broadcasting monthly multi-segment episodes, our crew of consulting fans tackles character analysis and speculation, highlights fan ingenuity and enthusiasm, explores shipping and relationships, and shares some of the more comic aspects of this fandom life. The name of the podcast is a reference to the “three patch problem” of A Study in Pink.

In which I created a Sherlock-inspired afternoon tea for myself! For the Foodie February episode of @threepatchpodcast, we each made an afternoon tea inspired by one of the characters of BBC’s Sherlock. I chose Mycroft! And I created a menu that I thought he would enjoy. Watch the video to see how I put it all together. 

The menu included: (1) salmon sashimi and caviar amuse-bouche (2) raspberry scones, served with lemon curd and clotted cream (3) salmon and avocado open-faced sandwich with wasabi and seaweed cream cheese (4) sausage roll (5) lobster roll (6) coronation chicken finger sandwich (7) tiramisu with lady finger cake and Irish crème liqueur. 

Please consider supporting the channel by liking the video and subscribing! That would help me a lot! <<My YouTube page>>
