White bread
1 1/2 cupfuls cooked spinach
Creamed butter
Stiff mayonnaise Few grains nutmeg Salt and cayenne
Press all the juice from cooked spinach and chop the vegetable fine. Season with salt and cayenne, and a bit of nutmeg and moisten with the mayonnaise. Cut the bread very thin, and spread lightly with the butter. Spread the spinach rather thick on one slice of bread, cover with the second slice, add more spinach and then a third slice of bread. Let stand in a cool place till firm, then cut in slices like a cake. The result will be a green and white sandwich.
Sliced ham Sliced tongue Sliced chicken Chopped olives
White bread Butter Mayonnaise Shredded lettuce
Remove the crusts from the bread, which has been cut a scant one-fourth inch thick. Spread the slices lightly with butter, creamed, and lay on a small piece each of ham, chicken and tongue. Add a layer of chopped olives, then a little mayonnaise, and top with corresponding slices of bread, buttered. Serve individually with a garnish of a handful of shredded lettuce, and a little mayonnaise on top, surmounted with an olive. If desired, the bread may be toasted for these sandwiches.
