American Sandwiches

Get half a pound of cold boiled ham or tongue, chop it fine, and put it into a basin, with a table-spoonful of chopped pickles, a tea-spoonful of mustard, and a little pepper. Put about six ounces of butter in a basin, and stir it quickly with a spoon till it forms a kind of cream; add the chopped meat and seasoning, and mix all thoroughly. Cut some bread into thin slices, and some very thin slices of veal, fowl, or game; spread a slice of the bread with the above mixture, then a slice of the meat; lay on another slice of bread, and so on, till the quantity required is prepared. If cut into small shapes, these sandwiches prove very acceptable for breakfast or for evening parties. The above quantities will make as many sandwiches as will fill a moderate-sized dish. Probable cost, 2s.
