Sandwiches

In preparing to make sandwiches it is well to have on the table, catsup, horseradish, mustard, pimolas, paprika, and other condiments. If one has not cooking facilities, or finds it desirable to make sandwiches in a hurry, potted game, chicken or ham, of the best makes, may be satisfactorily used on thin slices of buttered bread, with the addition of lettuce leaves or water cress, etc. Caviar sandwiches are also easily prepared. After the caviar is spread on the bread add a few drops of lemon juice, or, if liked, a little finely minced onion.

The bread for sandwiches should be cut in even, quarter-inch slices. It may be cut in squares, triangles or fingers, or with a cutter into fanciful shapes. All meat used in sandwiches should be free from gristle and fat, and if in slices it should be cut very thin. SARDINE SANDWICHES.

Remove sardines from box with as little of the oil as possible. Put in shallow bowl. Pour hot water over them to remove oil and immediately pour the water off. Remove the bone and as much as possible of the skin. With a fork break the meat up fine. Then grate over it with a fine grater the rind of a washed, fresh lemon. Cut lettuce with silver knife into fine threads. Add sparingly to the sardines, with lemon juice to taste. Stir all well together with fork. Spread between slices of buttered bread.

In one quart of good stock, or water and butter, simmer slowly until thoroughly cooked one dozen chicken livers. When the livers are placed in the stock add at once one large bay leaf, two cloves of garlic, the thinly cut rind of a small lemon, six cloves, black and red pepper and salt to taste. Simmer until the moisture is all cooked out-at least three hours. Put the livers in a mortar and mash, or mash with a silver spoon on a plate, into a soft paste. Spread on white bread cut in rounds. Garnish with lemon and pieces of water-cress.

Toast two slices of bread for each sandwich, removing crusts.

Over this spread a scant teaspoonful of mayonnaise dressing, then another lettuce leaf and cover all with the other piece of toast. Serve with sliced dill pickle, also with chopped onion, if desired.
