Adelaide Sandwiches

Cut up cold chicken and ham in small squares, in the proportion of two-thirds of chicken to one-third of ham. Next place two large table-spoonfuls of Worcester sauce and one of curry paste in a stewpan, and when they boil add the chicken and ham, mixing all well together. Prepare thin slices of stale bread, cut in small circles, by frying them in clarified butter. Spread the prepared chicken and ham lightly between two slices of the bread. Upon the top of each sandwich place a ball, about the size of a walnut, composed of grated Parmesan cheese and butter in equal parts, kneaded into a paste. Place the sandwiches on a baking-cloth, bake for five minutes in a brisk oven, dish up on a napkin, and serve as a second-course savoury dish.
