A little cook book for a little girl
Benton, Caroline French
Cooking -- Juvenile literature
Mix chopped celery and chopped chicken, as much of one as the other,
wet with French or mayonnaise dressing and spread.
Nut Sandwiches
Chop the nuts fine and add just enough cream to moisten;
sprinkle with salt and spread.
Sardine Sandwiches
Scrape off all the skin from the sardines, and take out the bones
and drain them by laying them on brown paper; mash them with a fork,
and sprinkle with lemon juice, and spread.
Tomato and Cheese Sandwiches
Slice a small, firm tomato very thin indeed, and take out all
the seeds and soft pulp, leaving only the firm part; put one slice
on the bread, and one thin shaving of cheese over it, and then
put on bread. A slice of tomato with a spreading of mayonnaise
makes a nice sandwich.
Cream Cheese and Nut Sandwiches
Spread thin Boston brown bread with just a scraping of butter,
then spread with cream cheese and cover with nuts; this is a
delicious sandwich.
Sweet Sandwiches
All jams and jellies make good sandwiches, and fresh dates,
chopped figs, and preserved ginger are also nice.
