500 Tasty Sandwich Recipes

Note: This edition of 500 Tasty Sandwich Recipes has been updated to include Metric equivalents.


When Lord Sandwich placed a piece of meat between two pieces of bread and pronounced it his favorite method of eating, he could hardly have been conscious of the revolution in habit he was starting.


Nor could he have known how large a part of the world would agree with him. Neither is it likely that he would recognize some of the ways in which women have used his idea to fulfill their own purposes, for certainly the modern party and cocktail sandwich bears little resemblance to the clumsy one Lord Sandwich was served.


Today’s sandwiches are served for almost any purpose and on all occasions, from the rushed noonday lunch and evening snack, to the formal tea or formal dinner with the cocktails. They are as familiar to the social butterfly as to the man who carries a dinner pail and they vary in size and shape from the canapé mouthful to the open-faced sandwich that fills the luncheon plate. The modern hostess is ever on the alert for new ideas in form and fillings. To her, this book comes as a most welcome addition to her culinary library and an opportunity to add to her reputation for attractive entertaining.
