d egg or an egg
scrambled fine. Lay another hot slice of toast on top and serve.
MINCED MEAT SANDWICHES.--Minced cooked chicken or veal, mixed with
minced celery and then with mayonnaise dressing is the usual paste for
meat sandwiches. The flavor may be varied by adding minced sweet
pickles, sweet canned peppers, olives, pimentos, mushrooms or nuts to
this paste as fancy dictates. Minced boiled ham and boiled chicken in
equal portions make a nice combination. If mayonnaise isn't liked bind
together with soft butter, thick cream, lemon juice or prepared
mustard.
LAYER SANDWICHES.--These are made of different varieties of bread
combined in the same sandwich or of two or more kinds of thinly sliced
cold, cooked meat, placed in alternate layers between slices of
buttered bread or toast. Cold roast duck, either wild or tame, sliced
thinly and placed between buttered slices of raisin bread is nice. Duck
may first be dipped in mayonnaise. Cold boiled tongue sliced thin and
covered with lettuce mayonnaise and then with a thin slice of chicken
or cold boiled ham, make a good layer sandwich. Flaked white fish,
spread with minced shrimp mayonnaise and lettuce or minced celery is
another. Brown bread and white bread cut as thin as wafers, buttered
and spread with cream or cottage cheese and minced olives or nuts and
put together in alternate layers then cut through like layer cake into
oblong strips or finger sandwiches make pretty luncheon sandwiches. Nut
bread and raisin or date bread, sliced, buttered and built in layer
sandwiches are delicious. Rings of Boston brown bread alternated with
rings of white bread and spread with peanut butter is another popular
combination.
SWEET SANDWICHES.--Chop figs, raisins and stoned dates together and
spread on buttered slices of graham or white bread. Dates minced with
nuts and spread on thin slices of buttered bread or upon cracker wafers
make dainty afternoon tea sandwiches. Grated sweet chocolate and ground
nuts mixed smooth with butter or cream is another filling. Grated
cocoanut and dates minced to a paste is another favorite filling.
GAME SANDWICHES.--Cut thin slices of prairie chicken, wild duck or
goose or venison. Dip shredded celery into mayonnaise dressing; lay the
sliced meat on buttered bread, scatter shredded celery over it and
press bread on top. With sliced venison spread currant jelly on the
meat and omit the salad dressing. With sliced turkey use cranberry
jelly. Wi
