enne.
1 teaspoonful of anchovy paste.
4 tablespoonfuls of mayonnaise or boiled dressing.
_Method._--Chop the meat and pound to a paste in a mortar; add the
seasonings and mix well. Remove the crust from a loaf of moist bread;
cut in very thin slices, trim each slice into a rectangular shape,
spread lightly with soft butter and then with the mixture. Roll the
slices and tie them with ribbon. Omit the anchovy paste, if desired.
=Epicurean Sandwiches.=
Cream four tablespoonfuls of butter and one teaspoonful of mustard.
Press the yolks of four hard-boiled eggs through a sieve and add them to
the butter and mustard. Then add four boned anchovies, four small
pickles, a teaspoonful of chives and a sprig of tarragon, chopped
together until fine. Cut stale bread in fingers or other fanciful
shapes, and spread with the mixture. Press two pieces together.

Put a pound and a half of halibut, a slice of onion, a stalk of celery,

rub the fish fine with a wooden spoon; add half a cup of thick cream, a
teaspoonful of salt, a dash of white pepper and one tablespoonful of
lemon juice. Spread this mixture, when cold, on buttered slices of
bread, put a lettuce leaf above the mixture, and spread a teaspoonful of
mayonnaise or boiled salad dressing on the lettuce; finish with a slice
of buttered bread and tie with ribbon.

the bread in pieces about four inches long and an inch and a half wide.
Finish as usual. Garnish with parsley and the slender feelers of the
lobster.

around the base, and on the top a few sprigs of parsley, or celery
plumes.
