Tea Sandwiches

The tea sandwich is an aristocratic affair, seldom made of meat, though minced chicken or turkey, or sardines beaten to a paste are sometimes used for it. The bread is cut very thin and encloses a bit of lettuce spread with mayonnaise dressing, chopped olives, nasturtiums or watercress. An attractive sandwich is made from diminutive Vienna rolls split not quite through and spread with the vegetable filling. Butter is not used, the dressing taking its place.

Another tea sandwich is made by spreading jelly or preserves between two salt or water crackers.
