Beef Tongue Sandwich

Chop one-half pound of cold boiled tongue, put it into a mortar with the yolks of two hard boiled eggs, one tablespoonful of made mustard, some salt, and a small quantity of cayenne pepper, and pound it all to a paste. Dilute the paste with two or three tablespoonfuls of cream. Cut some thin slices of bread, butter them, then spread them with the mixture, and press them together in pairs. Cut the sandwiches in halves, put them on an ornamental dish-paper or a folded napkin placed on a dish, and serve.
