Cut fresh bread in medium thick slices, trim the four edges, and butter
it with butter somewhat softened by warmth. On one side of two slices
which belong next to each other put thinly sliced peeled tomatoes,
filling in bits to cover the bread neatly. Press 4 or 5 slices cut
from pickled walnuts into the juicy parts of the tomatoes, lay 6 or 7
capers also in, and use half a teaspoon of the tiny German pearl onion
pickles to each sandwich. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and celery salt,
and spread with mayonnaise. Press the other piece of bread firmly on,
and wrap in waxed paper for picnics.
Vary with chopped chives, tarragon leaves, French dressing, etc.
APPLE SANDWICHES
Arrange thinly sliced, cored apples between layers of buttered bread
from which the crust has been cut. Sprinkle with salt and spread with
mayonnaise, into which a few chopped nuts have been mixed.
CREOLE SANDWICHES
Trim and butter squares of bread and fit to them thinly sliced
tomatoes, and spread with thin mustard; slice green peppers very thin,
and arrange sections of the rings here and there over the tomatoes. Use
a little minced chives or shallot, or onions, and season with salt
and pepper and lemon juice or some sauce.
BOMBAY SANDWICHES
Spread squares of bread with curry paste, and cover with chopped
tomato to which is added a little chopped onion and the same amount
of chopped sour apples. Season with salt.
PEANUT-BUTTER SANDWICHES
Spread small oblong pieces of bread, from which the crust is cut,
with peanut butter blended with cream, and press firmly together.
EGG SANDWICHES
Break 2 eggs into a frying pan containing a little melted butter and
let them spread, breaking the yolk with a spoon after they are in the
pan; let them fry until the edges begin to brown, then season with
salt and pepper, and sprinkle with chopped chives. Cut pieces out to
fit the bread slices to be used, and, after trimming and buttering
the bread, arrange them on one side of the sandwich. Use with no
other flavouring, or sprinkle with Worcestershire sauce, or spread
with mustard. Wrap in waxed paper for picnics.
NUT SANDWICHES
Mix chopped nuts in thick cream or mayonnaise, and spread between
slices of bread, either with or without a lettuce leaf. Sprinkle
with cayenne.
LETTUCE SANDWICHES
Spread oblong slices of trimmed bread with butter, lay a lettuce leaf
between, trimmed to size, and spread with plain or green mayonnaise.
PIMOLA SANDWICHES
Butter small squares of bread and arrange on them sliced pimolas or any
stuffed olives, sprinkle with lemon juice, or spread with mayonnaise.
PICKLE SANDWICHES
Slice large pickles and arrange them between buttered bread slices. If
German Dill pickles are used and German flavours liked sprinkle with
caraway seeds, and use rye bread.
