Ham Sandwiches

Take slices of stale bread, two days old, and the eighth of an inch in thickness. Cut them neatly with a sharp knife, butter them, and cover one slice evenly with thin slices of ham, cut into pieces about an inch in length, and from which all the skin and unpalatable parts have been removed. Spread a little mustard on the ham, and place another slice of bread and butter on the top. Press them together, and cut into pieces about two and a half by two inches. Arrange them neatly on a napkin, and garnish with parsley. Sandwiches are very good made with potted ham, instead of plainly-boiled ham. Probable cost of boiled ham, 2s. per pound.
