  • one teaspoon of salt
  • two tablespoonfuls of chocolate
  • 75 brown bread sandwich
  • half pound of chopped nuts
  • half cup sugar
  • one chooses
  • one
  • three fresh mint leaves

Directions

1

Brown Bread Sandwich. — Cut very thin slices of Boston brown bread in any shape desired. Whip one pint of cream very stiff. Stir in one teaspoon of salt and half pound of chopped nuts. Spread on the thin slices of bread. — Miss Pattie Crook.

2

Chocolate Sandwiches. — Take two tablespoonfuls of chocolate and half cup sugar, mix with a little water, heat to a thick paste. Chop fine a half-pint of nut kernels, walnuts, hiekorynuts, almonds, chestnuts, or any desired variety will do, and they may be mixed if one chooses. Stir in chocolate paste when cooling, and spread thinly between narrow reception wafers. Let harden.

3

Sweetbread Sandwiches. — Sweetbreads can be prepared in the following way and used as a filling for sandwiches: Take the sweetbreads, pulling apart into small bits, cut up lettuce and a few blanched almonds, the latter in fine pieces. Prepare a mayonnaise dressing, made rather dry; mix this with the sweetbread salad, which of course consists of the lettuce, almonds and sweetbreads. Spread on slices of bread in the usual way. This is a most excellent relish and will repay one for the trouble.

4

Mint Sandwiches. — Cut square slices of light bread very thin, then cut them diagonally across, making triangles; spread on the slices enough mayonnaise to hold them together, and in each sandwich place two or three fresh mint leaves. Very delightful to serve with iced tea or for a light sandwich.

5

Olive Sandwiches — Is a unique way of serving olives at teas and receptions. Cut the flesh from the stones of half a dozen queen olives; chop it fine, add to it a scant tablespoonful of salad dressing. Mix and spread on thin slices of buttered bread ; form the sandwiches, and cut into small squares. Stuffed olives are very appetizing served in this way. — Household Journal.
