Savory Sandwiches

Take some cold cooked ham, or corned beef or tongue, having one-fourth of its quantity fat; chop it up very finely, and mix with it one teaspoonful of mustard, one saltspoonful of salt, and sufficient cold water to form a stiff paste. Then add one-half teacupful of butter worked to a cream. Take some very thin slices of stale bread, spread them over with the paste, put two slices together, having the paste inside, cut into shapes or rectangular pieces, and serve.
